Description
Beneficial biology, timed to the vegetative stage
RAW Grow Microbes is NPK Industries' grow-stage microbial inoculant, introducing beneficial bacteria and fungi to the root zone specifically to support root establishment and vegetative growth. Running a stage-specific microbial product rather than a generic all-purpose blend means the organism mix is matched to what a young, actively rooting plant needs rather than a flowering plant's biology.
As with any good root-zone inoculant, the benefit compounds over the cycle — a stronger microbial population at the root zone means better nutrient conversion and more resilient roots by the time the plant reaches flower.
Key Benefits
- Beneficial bacteria and fungi matched to the vegetative stage
- Supports root establishment in young plants
- Improves nutrient conversion at the root zone
- Part of NPK Industries' documented RAW Microbes range, alongside a bloom-stage equivalent
- Suits soil and hydroponic systems
How to Use
- Apply from transplant through the vegetative stage
- Add to the reservoir or root drench alongside the base feed
- At transplant: spread ½–1 teaspoon around the root zone as the plant goes in, then water in
- Established vegetative plants: spread ½–1 teaspoon around the base of the plant and water in, every 1–2 weeks
- As a solution (soil, coco or hydro): 2–4 g per 4 L (about ½–1 teaspoon per US gallon), every 1–2 weeks through the vegetative stage
- pH first: RAW advise checking pH (aim for about 6.0) before the microbes go into the solution
- Move on to RAW Bloom Microbes once flowering starts
Technical Specifications
- Format: soluble microbial inoculant — a suspension-forming powder on a mineral-based carrier, so stir it through rather than expecting it to dissolve clear
- Stage: vegetative / grow stage specifically
- Organisms: endomycorrhizal fungi and Bacillus species
- Dose rate: 2–4 g per 4 L, or ½–1 teaspoon per plant
- Suitable media: soil, coco and hydroponics
- Quality control: every strain and the finished blend tested for accuracy and viability
