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 overall growth rate and yield. In documented results, Tribus Original has shown 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, and will the bacteria clog drip lines or injectors?
Impello Tribus Original is fully compatible with hydroponic systems and will not clog drip lines, injectors, or other hydroponic equipment. The free-flowing liquid formula also does not cause problematic biofilm formation, making Tribus Original a reliable choice for recirculating and drip-fed hydroponic setups.
Which growing media and growing stages can Impello Tribus Original be used in?
Impello Tribus Original can be used from seedling to harvest across all growing media, including soil, coco, and hydroponic systems. The bacteria populate the root zone regardless of media type, and Tribus Original is beneficial during the vegetative stage, bloom stage, and even during flush to help break down salt buildup.
Can Impello Tribus Original be tank-mixed with fertilizers, pesticides, or other beneficial microorganisms?
Impello Tribus Original can be tank-mixed and applied alongside all types of fertilizers, biostimulants, other beneficial microorganisms, and most pesticides. Because Tribus Original is highly salt-tolerant and pH-tolerant, the bacteria maintain efficacy even when mixed with strong fertilizers.
What bacteria strains are inside Impello Tribus Original, and how concentrated are they?
Impello Tribus Original contains three Bacillus species: Bacillus Subtilis at 4 billion CFU per milliliter, Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens at 2 billion CFU per milliliter, and Bacillus Pumilus at 4 billion CFU per milliliter. This high concentration means Tribus Original delivers strong results even at very low application rates.
Can Impello Tribus Original help speed up rooting for clones and cuttings?
Yes, applying Impello Tribus Original to seedlings and cuttings helps reduce the time from cut to root while encouraging vigorous new root development. The rhizobacteria in Tribus Original mobilize nutrients and stimulate root growth, making the product especially useful during the early propagation stage.
Is Impello Tribus Original OMRI certified for organic growing, and are there any availability restrictions?
OMRI-certified formulations of Impello Tribus Original are available, though the OMRI-certified blend is only offered in one-gallon sizes and larger. The OMRI-certified version is also not currently available in California.
