BTW, the mineral content of "Sea90" should be about the same as "sea water".

https://web.stanford.edu/group/Urchin/mineral.html

Magnesium is about 1271 ppm
Calcium is about 400 ppm

And as expected...super high rates of Chloride and Sodium--hence the low rate of 5 ml/gallon for both root and foliar applications.

Here is a pdf that lists the ppms for almost all 90+ naturally occurring elements found in seawater.

That's what inside Sea-90...it is not your "normal" NPK-type fertilizer...but then who says "normal" is good? LOL.

It is sea water, minus the salt

Sea 90 does contain sodium chloride. You may be thinking of Sea-Crop which is ocean trace elements with sodium chloride removed. I have used both. In hydro Sea-90 will work great at 5 grams per gallon with reduction of base nutrient by 50%. In soil it's best to do half dosage. Sea Crop does work better as the plants can tolerate a higher dosage of trace elements without the aditional sodium chloride. I use 4 ml per gallon of sea crop to achieve the same trace element dosage as 5 grams per gallon Sea 90. I have gone up to 12 ml per gallon with CO2 supplementation which would be impossible with Sea90 due to high sodium chloride content.

SEA 90 offers both with and without

Note they consistently say minerals NOT SALT https://seaagri.com/products/sea-90-fertilizer/

and here's their salt

LOL

Minerals are "salts". "Salts" are a generic term for mineral compounds. They simply removed the NaCl and claimed to leave the "minerals". Since "salt" is a bad term in the cannabis industry they make you think they took out the bad stuff.

mineral salts Inorganic salts that need to be ingested or absorbed by living organisms for healthy growth and maintenance. They comprise the salts of the trace elements in animals (see essential element) and the micronutrients of plants.

Whether it's refined in a lab, or refined by plants, it's the same mineral salts. What you need to be most concerned about is how clean the minerals are. Cannabis is an accumulator plant, capable of absorbing heavy metals and other contaminates. Using pharmaceutical grade, refined salts is one way to ensure your feed is clean enough for cannabis.

Can you say that cow manure (fed who knows what) is as clean as a refined mineral? Not even close.

These two products are from the exact same source. The Baja Gold salt product has just been filtered for sand and rocks and is finely ground.

They do not look the same, taste the same.

You are wrong.

I actually spoke with them,
