The results were primarily the same – specifically because more “Sea-weed” was added to the “Fish” only application. These products are literally pureed fish that are enzymatically broken down into what is known as a gurry. It’s a process similar to fish emulsion but done in cold water. It requires substantial pH balancing at production, usually done with phosphoric acid but the result is a highly nutritious and soluble plant food.

They contain a vast amount of nutrients and specifically, important growth regulators and hormones. Auxin’s, IAA Cytokinins and Gibberlins to name a few. Sea-weed is a natural fungicide also and promotes healthy root growth through chelated potassium and phosphorous.
