Description

The highest bacteria count in the Advanced Nutrients root range

Tarantula is Advanced Nutrients' high-count beneficial bacteria product, carrying a larger and more diverse population than Voodoo Juice. It is the third part of the root-zone trio and is used where a medium needs colonising quickly.

Key Benefits

  • Very high colony count - establishes a population faster than a standard inoculant
  • Diverse species mix - different bacteria handle different parts of the job
  • Best on a fresh or reused medium - the fastest way to bring biology to empty ground
  • Third of the trio - Voodoo Juice, Piranha and Tarantula are complementary, not alternatives
  • Every medium - hydroponics, coco and soil

Biology that never quite establishes

A small inoculation into a large, sterile, warm reservoir often fails to take - the population is diluted before it can colonise anything. A high-count product overwhelms that, which is why it earns its place on a first run in fresh coco or after a peroxide clean.

How to Use

  • First three weeks: 2 ml per litre at every feed
  • After a system clean: 2 ml per litre at the first feed once the peroxide has fully cleared
  • Avoid: peroxide, chlorine and oxidisers in the same reservoir
  • Reservoir temperature: under 22°C
  • Shake well: a live suspension

Technical Specifications

  • Role: Rapid root zone colonisation
  • Typical dose: 2 ml per litre
  • Window: First three weeks
  • Not compatible with: Peroxide, chlorine, oxidisers
