The root pack is designed to promote plant health by boosting the immune system, increasing shoot and root growth, multiplying flower production, and contributing to the overall well being of your plants! The \u003cstrong\u003eRoot Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e hasover 20 species including (but certainly not limited to) the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Pseudomonas flourescens: This is a saprophyte that creates colonies in water, soil, and on plant tissue. It is known to suppress plant diseases by acting as a systemic (a unique ability). Once it enters the vascular system of the plant, it can produce antibiotics which may prevent fungal and bacterial diseases from taking hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Bacillus: Bacillus is best applied to young plants and seedlings, so that it can take hold and colonize on the developing root system. Here, it will offer protection by limiting the growth of fungal organisms like fusarium. This bacteria is known to  supress other fungi and bacteria that cause scab, powdery mildew, sour rot, downy mildew, and early leaf spot, early blight, late blight, bacterial spot, and walnut blight diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Trichoderma: Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus, that is known to seek and destroy other harmful fungi in the soil\/media. The presence of trichoderma can cause the plant to activate its own SAR (stimulated auto response), which serves to boost its own immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Streptomyces: Streptomyces is a beneficial bacteria that i sknown to produce antibiotics as well as enzymes, and deter harmful fungi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe highly concentrated \u003cstrong\u003eNute Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e is an ideal way to boost your plants ability to do what it does best: grow and flower.

Nitrogen fixers also will increase plant growth as they produce vitamins, auxins, and gibberllins. Nitrogen fixers give a boost to seedling germination and overall yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Phosphate solubilizers, which will dissolve fixed tricalcium phosphate in to the usable form monocalcium phosphate. These little guys also produce organic acids (citric acid, lactic acid), hormones, and enzymes which will help in nutrient uptake and general plant vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Potash mobilizers,that will seek out Potash near the root zone and bring it to the roots of the plant. It is great for low K soil, or coco, since coco is known to “hold” K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Mycorrhizae.

This works GREAT in a cloning machine or when presoaking your cutting’s media. Make sure to add any nutrients or additives and pH BEFORE adding the brew. The day after a reservoir change (once every 7-10 days) is a good time to apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also advised to foliar feed with this tea once a week at full concentrate. Just strain it first so that it doesn't clog the sprayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are battling an existing pest or pathogen problem, use at full strength, without diluting.
