CTB--it seems we have started a revolution. The Florida Orchid growers sections has been discussing this for a minute already, right Carol?

I've been using 3cc vodka per gallon of water for about 2 months now and the results are well, positive for a lack of a better term.

I have heard from every grower down there that pre-watering your plants before fertilizing is a big no, no, exactly for the reasons stated by Ray.
