Advanced Nutrients Sensizym - Enzyme Formula for Root Zone Health
Best for: growers who want to keep the root zone clear of dead organic matter and support better nutrient uptake through the grow.
Our thoughts
A healthy root zone is easy to ignore because you can't see it, but dead root matter and organic build-up around the roots can quietly work against you over a long grow. Sensizym is a simple enzyme additive that helps break that material down, and it works across pretty much any system, which makes it an easy one to just leave running in the background.
Sensizym is an enzyme-based additive containing a blend of enzymes that break down dead organic matter in and around the root zone - old root material, biofilm and other organic debris that can otherwise build up over a long grow cycle. Clearing that material out helps keep the root zone healthier and supports more efficient nutrient uptake.
It works across any growing medium and system, and is dosed at 2ml per litre, most commonly used through the flowering phase though it can be run through the whole grow.
How it compares
Enzyme additives are a well-established supporting category alongside root stimulants.
- Compared with House & Garden Multi Zyme, a similarly positioned enzyme product, Sensizym covers the same core function of breaking down dead organic matter in the root zone.
- Compared with Canna Rhizotonic, which focuses more on root stimulation through humic acids and vitamins rather than enzymatic breakdown, Sensizym serves a different but complementary purpose - many growers run both together.
- Compared with running no enzyme product at all, adding one is a low-cost way to keep organic build-up from accumulating, particularly in coco or soil where dead root matter has nowhere to go.
It's not a flashy additive, but as ongoing root zone maintenance it's a sensible, inexpensive habit to build into a feed schedule.
Usage guidance
Designed for consistent, ongoing use rather than a single application.
Dosing
Add at 2ml per litre, commonly used through weeks 1-6 of flowering, though it can be run from earlier in the grow too.
Compatibility
Works in any substrate and growing system, including hydro, coco and soil.
Best paired with
Often used alongside a beneficial microbe product, since a cleaner root zone gives those microbes a better environment to establish in.
Technical specifications

Who this is for
- Growers running long grow cycles where organic build-up in the root zone has time to accumulate
- Anyone already using a beneficial microbe product who wants to support a cleaner root environment for it
- Coco and soil growers in particular, where dead root matter tends to sit rather than flush away
Our take
Sensizym is background maintenance rather than a headline booster, but a cleaner root zone supports everything else you're trying to do with your feed. It's cheap to dose and easy to leave running for the whole grow.
Does exactly what it should, day in, day out - a sensible addition if you want to keep the root zone in good shape without extra effort.
