Beneficial Bacteria
When introduced, Bacillus has an impact on plant health through promoting plant health & nutrition. When a biological community is composed of specific species that use distinct resources, there is less free room for invading species to establish themselves.
WHY
Bacillus, Mother Nature's most powerful mini army of helpers & a root's best friend! This is an extremely efficient way to inoculate aerobic bacteria directly into the root zone.

Most programs only need 1-2 applications per weeks. Root Drench applications can happen multiple times a day, every day if the program calls for it. Foliar applications should be no more frequent than 1-2 times per week.
This product can be used on seedlings, rooted clones, saplings, early vegetative, transition, flowering and late-stage fruiting plants.
This product is effective on pretty much anything that grows. All plants including vegetative plants, fruiting and flowering plants, succulents, indoor plants, outdoor plants including shrubs, trees, grass and bushes, low-light plants and even large-scale agricultural crops.
This product is viable in solution for 2-3 days in an un-agitated reservoir and 7-10 days in an aerated and agitated container
Yes, absolutely. Due to the nature of this product and how it is derived, it is compatible with organic and synthetic nutrients alike.
In general, the desired pH for a plant nutrient solution should be between 5.3-6.2. Since this product contains additional microbes, so you should avoid adjusting your pH by more than 1.5 points.
This product contains a suite of active aerobic microbes that perfom a plethora of roles in the system
Yes, additional surfactancts work well to disperse this product over the leaf surface.
At 1.2 billion cfu's per gram, Microbes is one of the highest concentration microbial products available to date. Not only that, since it is in a dry form and contains a dextrose-complex of sugars, amino-acids and brewer's yeasts as an encapsulation, it is the ONLY microbial product available that contains it's own shelf-stable food source. Plus, it contains all of the desirable microbial species available in most other microbe products.
This product does not show a tentency to product negative reactions with any product currently available for agricultural pruposes
As a best practice you always want to spray with the lights off or just as the lights are turning off/on as a precaution, even if you're just spraying water. However, it is not mandatory to turn the lights off to apply this product.
No, there is no stage at which applying this product as a foliar spray that is "too late"
Yes. We recommend a respirator and full-sleeve protective gear including goggles, gloves and close-toed shoes when applying this product. This product contains aerobic microbes and should not be inhaled
We recommend a 2-4 hr REI before re-entering the room, especially in a sealed indoor environment. In an outdoor environment, once the product has settled on the leaf surface and the water portion has evaporated/dried, you are safe to be near the plants without PPE.
We do not recommend you spray the product with pets/animals in the room. Also, the product should be kept safe from animals who may inhale/consume the product directly.
Yes. Since this product contains it's own compliment of aerobic microbes, it is highly compatible with microbial/compost teas
No. We separated the two products in order to give our growers the flexibility to alter the microbe:fungi ratio as the plant progresses through its lifecycle.
Yes, we absolutely recommend you activate this product by bubbling (agitating and aerating) the solution for 1-24 hours before usage.
Microbes are an important part of a healthy plant/soil system. By adding a custom-tailored suite of microbes, we can ensure our soil stays well balanced and our plants grow big and strong!
