That transitional application goes in alongside one last dose of Mycrobe Complete and your enzymes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason for going early is that phosphorus does not become available the instant you apply biology. The organisms need time to establish and start working, so you want that happening before demand climbs rather than while you are already behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"rw-faq\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I tank mix it with my nutrients?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rw-a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, and this one is on the label. Do not tank mix with chemicals or concentrated mineral salts. Salt concentrations that plants handle fine will dehydrate and kill microorganisms on contact. Apply your Rootwise dose as its own watering, separate from your feed. Use clean equipment too, since residue in a sprayer or reservoir from a previous chemical application will do the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"rw-faq\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need filtered water?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rw-a\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiltered is best practice, and if you have it, use it. But if you are mixing and applying right away, tap water is almost certainly fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChlorine gets consumed on contact by organic matter, and there is plenty of that in your soil.

These rates are designed for soil systems. In hydro and inert media you will likely need to re-inoculate more frequently depending on your media and how much chemical input you are running. These organisms make their living unlocking nutrients bound up in soil, so in a medium with nothing bound up and a salt feed working against them, you get some benefit but not the full picture. This product earns its keep in living soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"rw-faq\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use it with compost tea?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rw-a\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is a good pairing. Just add it at the end rather than the start. Brew your tea the way you normally would, then stir Bio-Phos in right before you apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason is the ratio. A brewer multiplies whatever happens to grow fastest in your particular setup, so anything you put in at the beginning comes out at a very different balance than it went in. The whole point of this bag is that Bacillus megaterium is loaded a thousand times heavier than the base tier. A full brew cycle rewrites that weighting entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea first, inoculant last, then water it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"rw-faq\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat happens if I use too much?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rw-a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMostly you waste money. Beyond that, heavy doses of any single input can push things out of balance somewhere else in the system. There is no upside to overdoing it, and given how far a bag goes, there is no reason to.
