what i like about this company though i have not used it...is that they explain what it does and what its good for....not just the good old "buy this product it will make leprachauns shit gold....100% money back garantee"...we all know who does that, lol

I want to try this stuff. Isn't it like an organic drip-clean?

NO it is not like drip clean at all.
Seagreen is a very special product. First off It is the most concentrated form of micro-biology ever known to man! That is not a joke! This stuff is so thick and concentrated that to look at it under a scope you must first dilute it down! That is insane concentration levels!!
I have brewed teas for over 30 years now and have been looking at tea samples under a scope for about as long. I have NEVER seen the amount and diversity in a tea as when compared to Seagreen. That is the truth. Now matter what you put in your tea, you will NEVER get the diversity and the concentration levels as you will when adding Seagreen.
It is really a one of a kind product, and have seen nothing like it since!
Seagreen can be used to help make nutrients more available, this is mostly due to the micro-biology which will break down organic compounds and make them plant available.
You really do not want to use Seagreen or any other biology type product after about 2nd or 3rd week in flower. The reason for this is because again, the micro-biology in Seagreen will have nitrate producing bacteria. You do not want lots of nitrogen in later flowering stages.
Adding Seagreen later in flower can produce unwanted growth as it will increase the nitrogen content. This is also why you can use less nutrients when adding Seagreen.

Very interesting, thanks!

Ive used sea green for several runs now, All the way til flush, Ive even used it a extra week by it self then flush for 1 week. My plants have always used up all the nitrogen in the leaves and turned yellow and purple and finished out just fine with out any extra growth. Theres no reason to stop using it after 2-3 weeks, If anything you should bump it up to 2-3 ml at 4-7 weeks. I use PBP so the nitrogen is very low 1-4-5, I know people who use canna coco which is very hi nitrogen 4-4-3, they get big nugs, but the quailty is lower and there plants wont yellow out at the end, that with sea green would be a bad idea.
I've herd both sides but from what I so far understand about sea green and from what other reputable growers have said is to continue using it till flush. This is my first run with it and I'm using it till flush time. It is very concentrated so I don't put much. My medium is soilless. Everyone and everyones situations different. That's just my opinion.
Peace. RD

Is it good for keeping tubes, hoses, pipes, reservoir clean at all?
Doesn't it mimic drip-clean in any capacities?
Is it more like a "super bottled compost tea"?

the opposite it will turn hydro stuff black

I don't see how that is possible since Seagreen is not a surfactant like, say, drip clean...

I got curious and according to their FAQ, it has surfactants : "Sea Green is a proprietary poly-cultured cofermentaion extract with humic acids, biosurfactants, and various organic food sources to support diverse soil biology and nutrient uptake."
It looks pretty good and very similar bennies to the ones in Bush Doctor Kangaroots and Microbe Brew. Concentrations of course are way higher in Seagreen and it seems to be lacking Trichoderma on purpose.
bullshit, i used it in waterfarms and there was still plenty of salt buildup
plus it leaves a black biofilm

Indeed the label says biosurfactant.Thank you for settling that.
I was skeptical because surfactant's usually help keep foaming to a minimum.

I was thinking the exact opposite, surfactants such as dish soap definitely cause more foam if you use enough. I was trying to figure out what they use as the bio surfactant(presumably in decent quantity since 1ml/gal causes a lot of foaming)? "Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of a liquid, the interfacial tension between two liquids, or that between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant

The reason there are no bacteria or fungus listed on the sea green product is because like nature there are too many strains to list. Only a few of the strains which occur naturally produce sidrophores which allow them to exist as isolates. Basically what occurs in natural soils cannot be replicated by the isolation techniques developed by microbiologists who's goal was to study pathogenic bacteria. Sea Greens cultures are derived from the healthiest most productive soils on earth. They allow the grower to install the equivalent of a virgin soils microbial community directly into their root zone. The product does have fungi, but they are not needed in hydroponics as there is no need to break down organic mater for the release of fungi. If you are getting black on your roots then you should dial back the usage. The humates present in the product are for the chelation of nutrients. If you have residuals then there is more humate present then nutrients needing chelation. Keep in mind the goal is not to run with as much nutrient as possible but rather to balance the nutrients and the sea green in such a way then the total ppms drop as fast as possible. This means greater uptake by your plant.
