Using beneficial microbes to create a more natural environment for roots and leaves is the Advanced way of increasing plant health, growth rate, and yield. Piranha beneficial fungi will assist plant growth by improving the development of a strong, expansive root zone. Piranha contains 26 types of beneficial fungi, including 8 species of Trichoderma and 18 species of mycorrhizal fungi. Such fungi excrete powerful chemicals that dissolve nutrients, absorb water, and promote soil porosity. Piranha helps plants establish fruits and flowers faster, in greater abundance, and with increased yield. When coupled with voodoo juice and Tarantula, your roots will seriously look like and old man's fluffy white beard. Apply this product twice during vegetative phase and once per week in the first two weeks of flowering. Once the Piranha inoculates your root system, you're set for success. Feed the fungi with Carboload.
What are trichoderma?
Trichoderma are energetic colonizers that enhance root mass while preventing root rot and other problems caused by harmful microbes, such as pythium and pytophethoria
What are mychorrizal fungi?
Mycorrhizal fungi excrete powerful natural chemicals that increase nutrient availability and root water retention, retard soil pathogens, and create a more aerated, porous soil structure. Mycorrhizal fungi can expand surface area of root mass by as much as 700%!
Roots are what feed your plants almost everything they need, and now you can maximize your plants' root mass so your plants get optimum nutrition and enhanced flowering.
You do this by using beneficial fungi that accomplishes the following for you:
(1.) Beneficial Fungi maximizes root absorption of oxygen, nutrients and water
(2.) Beneficial Fungi maximizes root growth for optimum yields
(3.) Helps your roots gain surface mass
(4.) Beneficial Fungi maximize production of floral essential oils
GETTING THE RIGHT TYPES OF BENEFICIAL FUNGI IS ALL-IMPORTANT FOR MAXIMIZING YOUR YIELD
As you can see, beneficial fungi are a valuable tool you use to maximize your gardens production. But please remember that it matter what type of fungi you use. You need to add the right types of the two major categories of beneficial fungi:
Category One beneficial fungi are called Endomycorrhiza. Believe it or not, these fungi actually have a form of "foot," called a hyphae, that enters into root cells to produce sacs or branched structures. As you can imagine, the sacs and branched structures increase root mass and root function.
Category Two beneficial fungi are called Ectomycorrhiza. These fungi create a hyphal sheath that covers root tips. They also create a hyphae net that cloaks the entire root system.
Funny thing is, plant scientists used to assert that endomycorrhiza were the only type of fungi that inserted themselves into root cells, and that the ecto variety stayed outside roots.
New research conducted by our scientists reveals that super-strains of ecto and endo beneficial fungi both penetrate roots, so they have designated these strains as a mega-category called "ectendomycorrhiza."
The good news is that whatever you call them, beneficial fungi form a web of root enhancement called a "fungal mycelium."
NOT ALL BENEFICIAL FUNGI ARE CREATED EQUAL
It's important to realize there are two processes hydroponics companies can choose from when they want to make a beneficial fungi product.
The most common choice starts when a hydroponics company decides to save time, effort and money by hiring a third-party company to bulk produce/bulk combine microbes without testing them for specific plant appropriateness or microbial compatibility.
Instead of managing the process from start to finish, they outsource their manufacturing, and in the process they forfeit first-hand knowledge and supervision of product components and quality control.
Not only that, but their process includes an overly generic view of fungi. For example, you'll hear their product advertising talk about "endo and ectomycorrhizal fungi." Turns out this is so vague that it borders on actually being an inaccurate way of describing root zone fungi!
It's exactly like saying "General Motors" to describe a car, leaving you wondering are they talking about a Pontiac or a Chevy.
And even if it's a Chevy, it could be a Malibu or Corvette. Ok, if you're lucky, you got the Corvette - but you're still left guessing, because one model of Corvette has the 300 hp motor, but the ZR1 Corvette has a 620 horsepower motor!
The good news is that we make sure our Piranha beneficial fungi are the fully-loaded ZR1 Corvette with 620 horsepower powerplant, not the Chevy Malibu! Here's how we do it...
Advanced Nutrients hires world-class microbiologists who practically live in the laboratory-that's how competitive and dedicated they are about developing what they call "superstrains" of fungi that biologically bond with the roots of your plants. One of our scientists is especially impressive: she has THREE Ph.D. degrees!
