I didn't know that Jerry's grow had that much alcohol. I have found my old bottles of Jerry's, but I didn't notice the smell of alcohol. I guess %N is pretty low, so alcohol is probably also at the low concentration.
So Ray, was there any scientific experiments/papers associated with Jerry's patent? I briefly looked for papers, but I didn't find a relevant one. But I didn't spend much time on it.

Always enjoyed working in the greenhouse now it's one big party. actually I use it like a jump start in the spring and again in the summer. It does help with insects just like the teaspoon of dish soap

I was thinking that it should help with the insects, considering I use a little alcohol in my home made spray.

I have used Vodka for years! The plants looks so much more vigorous and the blooms are huge. All the colors are brighter and the smells are increased 10 fold. Then I sober up and they look and smell like they did before the vodka.
But to put it on the plants? Never heard of it.
Happy Holidays

So will this work on the catt family? Would it be ok on all the orchids or should I mix differently for the catt and then the rest? I do use about two gallons each time I water and the catts and a couple of the phal get the second gallon.
And as for the dish soap, I've used it in sprays but never in waterings, can you add it to your water each time, or only once a month kind of thing?
