Use: Beneficial Bacteria for both Soil or Hydroponic Applications.
About Dr. Hornby TARANTULA Powder:
Tarantula form Advanced Nutrients is a new break through product in soil and hydroponic growing mediums. Tarantula is a bacterial blend of 57 microorganisms, with 1.4 BILLION Colony Forming Units PER GRAM ! This gives Tarantula the highest concentration of microorganisms in the world. This rich blend of microorganisms contains Bacillus, Streptomycetes Actinomycetes, and Psuedomonas for plant growth. This mixture of divers and extremely rich microorganisms forms a symbiotic relationship with the plants root zone in the rhizsosphere. This produces healthy, strong plants and root systems making the plants able to sustain many different types of stresses produced by the variable of nature.
Tarantula Technical Info:
We’ve got Piranhas, and we’ve got Tarantulas! Advanced Nutrients created our famous Tarantula formula because our scientists said that our other beneficial microbe products, as good as they were, did not have several varieties of beneficial bacteria that would help our customer’s crops. So we worked hard to make a stable formula containing 57 types of microorganisms that work together to benefit crops in ways that no other product can. Not only is our formula stable, safe, and easy to use, it’s also the most potent and well-engineered of its type on the market. Our competitor’s products are inferior in potency, type of microorganisms contained, and design.
The major bacteria in Tarantula include Bacillus, Psuedomonas, Aztobacter, and Streptomyces. In the root zone, these bacteria form a relationship with roots and substances that feed crops, thus increasing nutrient movement into crops and making more nutrients available to roots. Aztobacter converts atmopsheric nitrogen to a form that can be used by roots. Pseudomonas is especially useful because it helps produce natural hormones that stimulate crop growth and also enhances seed germination while resisting "damping off" and other pathogens that plague seeds and seedlings.
As a foliar spray, Tarantula facilitates plant respiration, energy production, nutrient uptake and pathogen resistance.
Tarantula Mixing Instructions:
Root zone application: Mix 0.3 grams per Litre (1/8 tsp per quart) of nutrient solution.
For accelerated growth: Use 0.6 grams per Litre (1/4 tsp per quart). Apply weekly during vegetative (grow) cycle and weeks 1 & 2 of the flowering cycle.
Foliar Spray: For foliar colinization of benificial fungi, mix 2 grams per Litre (1 tsp per quart) with pure water. Apply weekly
Warning: Do not swallow. Keep out of reach of children.
About Advanced Nutrients:
Advanced Nutrients are simply the most excellent all-purpose horticultural fertilizers on the market today. A team of 5 pHd’s (all with degrees in plant science) have constructed a comprehensive fertilization program for faster, healthier production of all your greenhouse crops - the "2+" program. The 2+ program combines complete pharmaceutical-grade fertilizers with supplementation of every nutritional variable that is not a base element - enzymes, B-vitamins, hormones, carbohydrates, humic and fulvic acids, and crucial amino acids that are missing from other general hydroponic fertilizers. Advanced Nutrients conducts continuous research and development in 16 laboratories - the largest hydroponic nutrient research and development program in the world. Weekly tissue sampling throughout each stage of a plant’s life has enabled Advanced Nutrients’ scientists to create products that are calibrated to the exact requirements of your crops. The use of pharmaceutical grade chemicals ensure that a higher percentage of what you see on your TDS meter is actually available to plants. Other general hydroponic fertilizers only use technical grade chemicals to blend their nutrients. That means that only 75-80% of the dissolved solids are actually available to plants. The missing percentage of these tech-grade nutrients is made up of unusable salts and precipitants that actually inhibit growth and slows uptake of usable nutrients. To compliment the higher quality ingredients, Advanced Nutrients uses only pure, high temperature reverse-osmosis water (0 ppm) for the manufacture of all of their liquid products. This ensures total bacterial control and the complete suspension of all elements in solution. Ordinary fertilizers brag about using chelated micro-nutrients, but use only one type of chelator. Advanced Nutrients uses at least two chelators per micronutrient - sometimes as many as four types of chelators (such as with iron) to maintain optimum availability over the longest timeline. However, despite the fact that Advanced Nutrients uses higher quality constituents in these fertilizers and has spared no expense in the research that backs their product, the retail price of the 3-part nutrient line is actually less expensive than the nearest leading general hydroponic fertilizers. In addition to their base fertilizers and supplements, Advanced Nutrients has created biological products (Voodoo, Pirahna, Tarantula) that control every major greenhouse pathogen (All root rot species, powdery mildew, botrytis bud rot), so you can spend more time growing and less time worrying. These are just a few of the many reasons why Advanced Nutrients can be found in over 700 retail outlets with the help of distributors in Canada, USA, Australia, UK, Netherlands and Germany. Because growing plants in a general hydroponic manner will only yield general results. Your crop deserves better - Advance to the next level of growing.
