Description
Beneficial fungi that extend the root system beyond the roots
Piranha is Advanced Nutrients' beneficial fungi inoculant. Where Voodoo Juice supplies bacteria, Piranha supplies fungi whose hyphae reach far beyond the root surface, effectively enlarging the absorptive area of the whole root system.
Key Benefits
- Hyphae reach where roots cannot - far more absorptive surface than the plant can build alone
- Improves phosphorus uptake - fungi are particularly good at freeing bound phosphorus
- Works alongside bacteria - fungi and bacteria occupy different niches - use both
- Every medium - hydroponics, coco and soil
- Early application matters - establish the population before the canopy demands it
A root system that cannot keep up with the canopy
A plant can only take up what its roots reach. Once the canopy outgrows the root system, growth plateaus regardless of how strong the feed is - and pushing EC at that point causes burn rather than growth. Fungi extend the reach without the plant having to build more root.
