Over 200 million CFUs of the good stuff in every litre. It's an Advanced Nutrients product, so it's engineered well and compatible with everything. The price is high, but if you're serious about root health and yield in hydro, this is one that works.

Over 200 million CFUs of beneficial fungi and bacteria, designed specifically for hydroponic systems where natural microbes are absent.

No, there's no way around that. But if you're running hydro seriously and you're not addressing root-zone biology, you're leaving yield on the table.
