I spoke with Dean Franco this morning it looks like this stuff should start taking off soon. 1 gallon of concentrate would go for about $20, this would make 5 gallons of solution.

This could be a big big money maker in commerical applications. Anyone know what the shelf life(unused) will be on this stuff? Any other links about this would be appreciated.

Awesome! With Oklahomas unpredictable winters temps - this product could be a boon to both home and commercial growers. Price sounds extremely reasonable as well. Sign me up!
Maybe he could come up with a spray that we could blanket politicians with. Call it "Bone-head Pruf" or something.... ![]() |

I just got off a conference call the VC who is helping Dean Franco bring Freeze Pruf to market. Currently we are about a month out from the product being available for sale. The initital form it will be sold in a gallon (not concentrate). Price has still not been confirmed but I was assured it would be reasonable. Please indicate via PM if you are interested in purchasing some as I am forming a list and will be proactively selling it as soon as it's in production.

Was just wondering if it would also do anything for heat tolerance during summer months? Has he done any research on that aspect?
