Kelp does not remember it's set age value when another kelp block is grown/placed, and then broken on top of it, ultimately leading to a randomization of the kelp's age.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place kelp two blocks downward underwater
→ observe current 'age' value using F3 - Place another kelp on top of it
- Break the top-most kelp
→ observe new 'age' value
Observed & Expected Results:
- The kelps original value will be different than it's new value
- The kelp's age would remain consistent, no matter what block is placed or broken above it

Notes:
This effectively allows the player to indefinitely grow kelp upwards, if they are constantly resetting the top-most kelp block's age.
