Notes:
Word of caution as these are exceptionally potent, start of slowly in nano tanks and follow guidelines in the above link. Always watch your inhabitants for signs of distress etc.
Cones are sourced from outlying, low traffic, non-pesticide usage areas and are collected once naturally released from the tree branch. It is advisable to rinse cones before adding to tank.
Alternatively, a concentrated tea can be made by allowing leaves to soak in dechlorinated water over the course of a few days. Try not too boil as this destroys some of the beneficial properties.
