Edward makes a fair point... but I would like to correct a modest inaccuracy in what he wrote. Both products are identical with the exception of the fact that one contains boron and one contains magnesium. In all other regards, they are exactly the same. Both contain the exact same ratios of all other ingredients, both utilize the exact same chelators ...
The CMM product is not currently licensed to be sold in the United States and is actually the Canadian version of the product that Plant Product sells in the US. The CSM product is the US/International version and is only sold by Plant Products in the US and Internationally ...
So if you are in Canada, you can buy CMM from Plant Products, but not CSM. Similarly, if you are in the US, you can by CSM from Plant Products, but you can not buy CMM ...
<grin> ... so there is nothing old or outdated about the US version of the product <grin> ... I am assuming Edward will edit that part out of his post <grin> ...
Edward also wrote that the CMM was designed for aquariums <grin> ... if you read the Plant Product specs, you will see that it was designed for "agricultural crops and soil grown greenhouse crops" and its only utilization instructions are for foilar spray ... personally, I think the foliar spray concept is close enough to water column dosing for me <grin> ...
As a hobby ... we have been drawn to the this particular brand of products primarily because it is one of the micronutrient trace mixes that contains one of the lower concentrations of chelate copper.
