{"product_id":"raw-bloom-microbes","title":"RAW Bloom Microbes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA bloom-stage microbial inoculant that keeps roots fed and protected through flowering\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAW Bloom Microbes is a dedicated blend of beneficial bacteria and fungi from NPK Industries, formulated specifically for the flower\/bloom stage rather than as a general-purpose inoculant. Where a base bloom feed supplies the minerals, this product supplies the biology that helps the root zone actually use them — rhizosphere-inhabiting bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi that colonise the root surface, break down organic matter and build a healthier, more resilient living root system through the demanding stretch from flip to harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's designed to work alongside a mineral bloom base such as RAW Bloom, not to replace it — think of it as the biological half of a flowering programme rather than a stand-alone feed. NPK Industries double-test every batch, checking both the individual bacterial and fungal cultures and the final blend, aiming for high CFU counts and consistent viability from packet to packet, which matters with any living microbial product where potency can drift in storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it's a dry soluble powder it suits both soil\/coco growers who want to apply it as a root drench or top-dress, and hydro\/reservoir growers who want to dose it straight into solution. Either way it's a maintenance product used repeatedly through flowering rather than a one-off application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom-stage specific blend\u003c\/strong\u003e of beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-tested\u003c\/strong\u003e for culture viability and CFU count, batch by batch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilds root-zone biology\u003c\/strong\u003e to improve nutrient availability during flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo application methods\u003c\/strong\u003e — direct to growing media or dosed into solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplements a mineral bloom base\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than replacing it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flower\/bloom stage, established plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDose (media):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2–1 tsp around the base of the plant, watered in, every 1–2 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDose (solution):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2–1 tsp per US gallon (3.8L), every 1–2 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhizosphere bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool, dry, out of direct sunlight; reseal after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-dosing\" style=\"margin:32px 0 0;border:1px solid #e6e6e6;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden;font-family:Montserrat,-apple-system,'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#101010;padding:16px 20px;border-bottom:3px solid #efc04c;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:17px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:.06em;text-transform:uppercase;\"\u003eFeed Chart\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:6px;color:#b8b8b8;font-size:12px;line-height:1.5;\"\u003eRAW Bloom Microbes · dosed into solution, flowering stage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;color:#2b2b2b;background:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f4f4f4;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 20px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6b6b6b;font-weight:600;\"\u003eStage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:right;padding:10px 14px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6b6b6b;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;\"\u003ePer 1 L\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:right;padding:10px 20px;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6b6b6b;font-weight:600;white-space:nowrap;\"\u003ePer 10 L\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 20px;border-top:1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eIn solution through flowering, every 1 to 2 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 14px;border-top:1px solid #ededed;text-align:right;white-space:nowrap;font-weight:600;\"\u003e0.65–1.3 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 20px;border-top:1px solid #ededed;text-align:right;white-space:nowrap;color:#6b6b6b;\"\u003e6.5–13 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#101010;padding:12px 20px;font-size:12px;color:#b8b8b8;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#efc04c;font-weight:600;\"\u003eNote\u003c\/span\u003e — NPK Industries publish this as half to one US teaspoon per US gallon.
