Is there some difference between them or are they just different names for the same thing?

Ray, you are right on spot calling this a hybrid product.
The SeaGrow 16-16-16 is 10% Nitrogen from Blood Meal and the remaining Nitrogen from Phosphate, Potassium, and Urea (not sewage) salts. Ok, there is also a minor amount of Nitrogen from the Amino Acid chelates of micronutrients in the product. What Grow More is trying to do with this product is provide a general "organic" basis but also bring the nutrient levels up to crop-level performance. In particular, it contains about 1% seaweed extract and 0.5% Yucca extract. I think it is great for seed starting and for general maintenance of ornamental plants. Beyond that, I will be more specific in my fertilizer recommendations for homeowner plants.
