What does Impello Biosciences Tribus Original do for plants?
Impello Biosciences Tribus Original is a highly concentrated liquid blend of three growth-promoting rhizobacteria that maximize nutrient availability and uptake, improve root and stem growth, and increase a plant's growth rate, quality, and yield. The bacteria produce extracellular enzymes and biochemicals that work symbiotically with the plant, with proven results including a 15% increase in dry yield, a 16% increase in stem diameter, and a 14% increase in growth rate.
Is Impello Tribus Original safe to use in hydroponic systems, or will the bacteria clog drip lines and injectors?
Impello Tribus Original is completely safe for hydroponic systems and will not clog injectors, drip lines, or any hydroponic equipment. Tribus Original is free-flowing and does not cause problematic biofilm formation, making the product suitable for use across all growing media including hydro, soil, and coco.
Which growth stages can Impello Tribus Original be used during?
Impello Tribus Original can be used from seedling all the way through harvest, including vegetative and bloom stages.
