What does "only by florist" mean...are they liscensed to use it?...What
about Wood Ace..or Osmocoat...can these be used by others or only
florist?  Sure if you are creating a closed system in a baggy, then
using anything that acts or reacts in the closure will only excelerate
it leading to the ovious result...2 much!  For that matter any food left
in a closed system would result in a food overdose....I agree w/
removing all ingredients from the mix except the soil mixture, but to
add the florist is bias...my observation of florist is that their job is
to severe the stem and preserve the flowering part for enough time to
convince the consumer that they got their monies worth.....but to give
them credit for knowledge beyoun that is streching things.
