sorry to rain on your parade dude, but you shouldn't use phytoplankton grown in plant fertilizer. you NEED to use the guilliards f/2 formula if you want it to have a safe product and top nutrition quality.

my brokerage was expensive, 1/3-1/2 of the initial price. if you need just the fertilizer i'm sure it will be much cheaper since you wont need fedex like i used.
