Ecothrive Biosys is an instant microbe tea providing a complete biological input. It boosts root growth, nutrient absorption, and stress defence with beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria. Essential for soil, coco coir, and hydroponics.
Providing an instant, comprehensive microbial solution for your entire garden, Ecothrive Biosys is the instant microbe tea your plants need for optimal health. This concentrated, easy-to-mix powder activates in minutes—no brewing required—to combine a potent blend of beneficial bacteria, friendly fungi, and natural growth enhancers. By establishing a thriving, diverse biological ecosystem in the root zone, Biosys dramatically improves nutrient absorption, strengthens resilience to stress, and promotes robust growth from seedling to harvest. It is the essential biological input for all growers, compatible with soil, coco coir, and recirculating hydroponic systems.
Key Benefits of using Ecothrive Biosys
- Instant Microbial Activation: Delivers billions of beneficial organisms instantly; simply mix and apply—a fast alternative to traditional, time-consuming compost teas.
- Enhanced Root Function: Contains 8 species of Endo Mycorrhizal Fungi and rhizosphere bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship, boosting water and nutrient (especially phosphorus) uptake.
- Stress and Disease Defence: Includes beneficial fungi like Trichoderma, which acts as a "security guard" to prevent root diseases and protect against pathogens.
- Nutrient Cycling and Efficiency: Contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria and Bacillus species that solubilise locked-up minerals, accelerating the breakdown of organic matter and making nutrients more available.
- Promotes Growth and Recovery: Natural plant growth stimulants like humic acids and seaweed extract improve overall plant health and speed up recovery from transplant shock and environmental stress.
How to use Ecothrive Biosys
Biosys should be mixed with water and applied directly to the substrate or nutrient reservoir. For best results, always use dechlorinated water. We recommend using Ecothrive Neutralise to instantly remove chlorine.
Propagation and Potting-On (Cuttings/Seedlings):
- Add 1g per 1L of water.
- Ideal for watering newly potted plants. For seeds and cuttings, pre-soak plugs for 15 minutes.
Established Plants (Soil/Coco Coir):
- Add 0.5g per 1L of water.
- Repeat every 1–2 weeks (for indoor crops) or every four weeks (outdoors).
- Use with plain water or a half-strength nutrient solution. For enhanced soil fertility, use in conjunction with Ecothrive Charge.
Recirculating Hydroponic Systems:
- Add 2.5g per 10L of water.
- Repeat every 1–2 weeks or with each reservoir change.
- Ensure the nutrient solution is actively aerated and avoid mixing with an Electrical Conductivity (EC) higher than 1.5 mS.
Stress Recovery (Tonic):
- Add 1g per 1L of water.
- Apply with plain water or a low-strength feed, repeating the application after 5 days.
Can be used with most grow media including soil, coco and hydroponics.
Available in 10g, 50g and 250g.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Biosys and traditional compost tea?
Biosys is an instant microbial tea, meaning the concentrated powder, packed with beneficial bacteria and fungi, is ready to use immediately upon mixing with water. Traditional compost tea requires brewing for 24–48 hours using air pumps and equipment. Biosys delivers the same biological benefits without the brewing time or complexity.Can I use Biosys with my regular mineral (synthetic) fertilisers?
Yes, Biosys can be used alongside your existing feeding programme. However, to protect the beneficial microbes, you should use it with a half-strength nutrient solution and ensure the total Electrical Conductivity (EC) of the solution does not exceed 1.5 mS.Is Biosys suitable for all growing media, including hydroponics?
Absolutely. Biosys is versatile and highly effective in all growing media, including traditional potting soil, coco coir, and inert substrates. It can also be used in recirculating hydroponic systems, provided the nutrient solution is actively aerated and the EC is kept low enough to avoid harming the microbes.How often should I apply Biosys to my plants for the best results?
For most indoor growers, applying Biosys every 1 to 2 weeks during the vegetative and flowering cycles provides the best ongoing benefits, ensuring continuous colonisation of the root zone. For plants recovering from stress or transplanting, two applications with a five-day interval are recommended.SKU: 1275Free delivery on orders over £60*
