Cyco Zyme — Cellulase Enzyme Additive for Hydroponics & Coco Growing
Best for: Hydroponic and coco growers who want active root zone health and longer-lasting enzyme stability
Our thoughts
Cyco Zyme sits in that sweet spot where you get solid enzyme concentration without the premium price tag of some alternatives. Longer shelf life than most competitors, doesn't clog your dripper lines, and integrates cleanly into the full Cyco range. One experienced growers come back for.
Cyco Zyme is a cellulase-based enzyme additive designed to break down dead organic matter in hydroponic and soil-free systems. It digests complex polysaccharides into simple sugars your plants can use immediately, while also supporting nutrient uptake and cell wall development. Use it throughout your entire growing cycle—vegetative and flowering—to keep your root zone clean and your plant health solid.
How it compares
Enzyme additives vary wildly in concentration, shelf life, and price per millilitre. Cyco Zyme positions itself as industry-leading in concentration relative to cost.
- Longer shelf life than most competitors—no rapid degradation after opening
- Higher enzyme count per litre than budget alternatives
- Proven to prevent dripper line clogging in recirculating systems (a real problem with weaker products)
- Lower usage rate than some premium brands—1ml per litre stretches further
In plain terms: proper enzyme concentration at a price that doesn't force you to choose between this and bloom boosters.
Usage guidance
Cyco Zyme works across different hydroponic and soil-free setups:
Recirculating hydroponic systems
Add 1ml per litre of water. Run it every watering. The cellulase breaks down dead root material before it builds up and clogs lines—this is where Cyco Zyme really earns its place.
Deep water culture
Same dosing. Weekly application maintains clean water and active root zone health.
Coco peat growing
Works well as part of a full coco feeding schedule. Mix into your nutrient solution at 1ml per litre during veg and flower cycles.
Hand-watered coco or inert media
Less critical than in recirculating systems, but still beneficial for breaking down organic decay and supporting nutrient availability. Use the same 1ml per litre rate.
The key: use it consistently throughout your cycle. Enzymes work best when they're present regularly, not as a one-off fix.

Who this is for
- Hydroponic growers running recirculating or DWC systems who want clean, clog-free lines
- Coco peat growers building a complete Cyco nutrient ecosystem
- Commercial indoor operations where system reliability matters
- Growers who've experienced dripper blockages and want active prevention
- Anyone seeking stable, long-lasting enzyme concentration without premature degradation
Less critical for minimalist feeders or soil growers, but particularly valuable in recirculating systems where dead matter accumulates quickly.
Our take
Cyco Zyme does what a good enzyme additive should: breaks down organic decay, keeps your system clean, and supports nutrient availability. The longer shelf life alone sets it apart from weaker alternatives that degrade within weeks of opening.
If you're running hydroponics seriously or committed to the full Cyco range, worth picking up while clearance stock lasts. One you'll use week in, week out.
