When should I use kelpmax/kelp based root stimulant in relation to fertilizer?

    I recently got kelpmax and so far I really like it I'm amazed at the results so far however spring is getting close (for me at least) I was wondering if it's better to do the monthly dose when I fertilize or wait and o it a week or so later? Also hello I've been a lurker for a while this is my first post:D I also didn't know exactly what section to post this under so any corrections appreciated if needed.

    I have applied KelpMax with fertilizer and as separate applications, and have seen no difference.

    Logically, I suppose it makes more sense to mix them, as the microbes will multiply faster in the presence of the nitrogen, but practically, I don't know that it's a significant difference.
