Ocean Water and Trace Minerals

For some time now I've been using clean ocean water once or twice a month diluted in my water when feeding, the reason being there are 90 or more trace minerals in sea water and basically in layman's terms all life originally comes or came from the ocean.

I normally use a ratio of about 20 ml of ocean water to 4 ltrs of fresh water but yesterday I read an article from 2006 about the use of diluted ocean water not only for the soil but also as a foiler and at a ratio of as much as 100 ml to 4 ltrs.

Do any of you fellow growers utilise the benefits of ocean water? And if you do how often and at what ratio?

A little definetly goes a long way so please use very sparingly and start of light if your new to this ?

I don't use seawater but do add YAPI Marine Complete Trace which restores all trace elements (plus iodine) found in sea water.

..... been using it for quite awhile and plants look good!:tiphat:
