It also comes with an activator which i believe is dried molasses. Plus it is vegan so when you get it on your hands you dont need to worry about puttin your finger in your eye and given yourself pink eye. Also when you brew the tea you need an airstone and air pump to oxygenate the mixture. The tea works best if used at the 24 hour mark after that the biology of the tea starts decreasing.
Holy Cow. That pic is incredible.

Is this the xtreme tea product? http://www.amazon.com/Xtreme-Tea-Bre...dp/B007F87T2C/

Does your hydro store sell online? If so, the link would be great. Thank you.
