Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice - Beneficial Bacteria Root Booster
Best for: growers who want to establish a stronger, more colonised root zone early on, particularly after transplanting or taking cuttings.
Our thoughts
A strong root system underpins everything that happens above the medium, and Voodoo Juice is built specifically to get beneficial bacteria established in the root zone early. It's most useful right at the start of a grow rather than something you reach for halfway through - get it in early and let the bacteria do their job.
Voodoo Juice is a beneficial bacteria additive built around several hand-selected strains of Bacillus and Paenibacillus bacteria, bred to colonise the root zone and increase the effective surface area roots have to work with. A more heavily colonised root zone tends to take up nutrients more efficiently and has better natural resistance to root disease pressure.
It's dosed at 2ml per litre, added to your feed water or reservoir, and is most effective when introduced early - around transplanting, cloning or the start of the vegetative stage - so the bacterial colony has time to establish before the plant moves into demanding growth phases.
How it compares
Beneficial microbe additives are a well-populated category, with a few clear reference points.
- Compared with House & Garden Roots Excelurator, which also targets root zone development but leans more on other bio-stimulant compounds alongside any microbial content, Voodoo Juice is built specifically around its bacterial strain blend.
- Compared with Canna Rhizotonic, a root stimulant based on humic acids and vitamins rather than live bacteria, Voodoo Juice takes a different approach to the same broad goal of root zone health.
- Compared with not using a root inoculant at all, introducing beneficial bacteria early is one of the more established ways to support root development before the plant hits its demanding growth stages.
It's a specific-purpose product built around live bacterial strains, which puts it in a slightly different lane to root stimulants that work purely through vitamins and acids.
Usage guidance
Most effective when introduced early rather than partway through a grow.
Dosing
Add at 2ml per litre to your feed water or reservoir.
Timing
Best introduced at transplanting, cloning, or the start of the vegetative stage, so the bacterial colony has time to establish.
Storage
Keep out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, since it contains live biological material that can be affected by heat and light exposure.

Who this is for
- Growers wanting to give cuttings or transplants the best possible start in the root zone
- Anyone dealing with recurring root disease pressure who wants extra biological support
- Growers already running Sensizym or a similar root-zone product, since a cleaner root zone gives bacteria a better environment to establish in
Our take
Voodoo Juice is about timing as much as anything - get the bacteria in early and they've got a real head start on colonising the root zone before the plant needs it most. It's not a fix for problems later in the grow, but as an early-stage investment it's a solid one.
One we sell a lot of for growers who are dialling in their propagation and early veg routine.
