Description
Puts a working bacterial population on the roots
Voodoo Juice is Advanced Nutrients' beneficial bacteria inoculant, used in the first weeks to colonise the root zone. The bacteria mineralise nutrients in the medium, break down organic matter and occupy the surfaces a root pathogen would otherwise take.
Key Benefits
- Colonises early - the first fortnight is when the root zone is decided
- Frees locked nutrients - particularly phosphorus, which binds readily in most media
- Denies ground to pathogens - a colonised root surface is far harder to invade
- Works in every medium - hydroponics, coco and soil
- Pairs with Piranha and Tarantula - bacteria, fungi and mycorrhizae are three different jobs
A sterile root zone doing everything chemically
In hydroponics and fresh coco there is no biology at all, so every nutrient has to arrive already available and any pathogen that turns up finds empty ground. Introducing bacteria improves nutrient uptake, buffers a missed feed and gives real protection against root rot.
How to Use
- First three weeks: 2 ml per litre at every feed
- Maintenance: 2 ml per litre weekly thereafter if you want to keep the population up
- Avoid: hydrogen peroxide, chlorine and strong oxidisers - they kill the culture
- Reservoir temperature: keep it under 22°C or the population crashes
- Shake well: it is a live suspension
