Added to the root zone, it restores the \u003cstrong\u003emicrobial balance\u003c\/strong\u003e around the roots, improves \u003cstrong\u003enutrient availability and uptake\u003c\/strong\u003e, and keeps roots white and vigorous in \u003cstrong\u003ehydroponics, coco and soil\u003c\/strong\u003e alike.

Once harmful organisms take hold, roots brown off, uptake falls and plants show it as slow growth, pale leaves and wilting even when the feed is right. Keeping the root zone populated with beneficial bacteria leaves less room for the problem organisms and keeps the roots doing their job: taking up water and nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuttings:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e3ml per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e of water to soak propagation cubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil and soilless mixes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e3ml per litre\u003c\/strong\u003e of water applied to the rooting media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydroponic systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e add at every nutrient change, at the system rate printed on the label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e use throughout vegetative growth and flowering as part of the regular feed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e do not use at the same time as hydrogen peroxide or chlorine-based sterilisers, which kill beneficial bacteria.
