Operational Update: Producing and Selling Kelpex!
|
|
A little over 1,500 gallons of Kelpex product ready to be shipped out to customers!
After months of research, equipment scouting, set-up, and planning we're pleased to share that we've begun commercial operations in Ketchikan and are now producing and selling Kelpex, our liquid kelp plant biostimulant product!
While it's still early days, our production line is running well and we're capable of producing thousands of gallons of Kelpex per week – an important milestone for our company! We're already selling Kelpex both as an ingredient to fertilizer companies and directly to farmers and home gardeners. The early sales traction has been strong, and we're receiving great feedback from customers who are reporting that they love the product and are seeing positive results. It's rewarding to see our Made in Alaska product making a real impact for both large-scale agricultural markets and home gardeners.
In addition to our early sales traction we've also kicked off commercial trials with several dozen potential customers across multiple crop types, growing mediums, and geographies! Stay tuned as we announce the results of some of these exciting tests and collaborations!
At-home testing of Kelpex demonstrates clear results!

Left: Without Kelpex, Right: With Kelpex. What a difference!
While Kelpex is currently undergoing dozens of commercial and university trials, we're also testing at-home in Ketchikan. In a side-by-side comparison under heat stress, the pepper plant treated with Kelpex showed significantly greater growth, denser foliage, and an overall healthier appearance when compared to the untreated control - despite all that heat!
The benefit that Kelpex can bring plants and crops directly addresses some of the most persistent issues growers face: stunted growth due to nutrient deficiencies, pale or yellowing leaves from stress, and poor plant vigor in challenging growing conditions. The enhanced root development and leaf quality we're observing shows that Kelpex's natural kelp compounds are effectively supporting plant resilience and nutrient uptake - exactly what farmers and gardeners need to overcome the environmental stresses, soil limitations, and seasonal challenges that can make or break a growing season.
If you're interested in trying Kelpex on your plants or crops send us an email! We'd love to let the product speak for itself and have you see the difference on your own plants!
