Hardwarejunkie: Its almost there!
Samenrahmen: I updated the link so that it is now public. However, many pictures are above. Fly screen? …for the window? If I took it off, and have them grow out the window, it would be very hard to pick my tomatoes! I live on the 2nd story.

yes, I use at the same time, but note how often. The Seaweed Foliar Spray by Nitrozyme should only be sprayed on weekly during veg, (bi-monthly for Aquaponics). The Great White Mycorrhizae by Plant Success should ONLY BE USED ONCE or TWICE per HARVEST. =)
