Game changing dosing system.
GLA’s new micro and macro pack is an absolute game changer. This new micro is in a class of its own and works phenomenally well. The whole kit works amazing and cost near nothing to make two bottles of liquid Ei mix. They made it so simple to mix with there write up and calculator. No better system on the net GLA is where it’s at.
