Use From Seedling To Harvest With This All-In-One Liquid Blend

A highly-concentrated, targeted blend of three growth-promoting rhizobacteria that can be used with organic or conventional growing practices to increase crop quality and quantity.

The bacteria in Tribus Original work symbiotically with the plant by producing extracellular enzymes and other biochemicals that maximize nutrient availability and uptake, improving root and stem growth, and increasing the plant’s growth rate, quality, and yield.

Tribus Original will populate the root zone of plants in all medias and does not cause problematic biofilm formation in hydroponic applications.

Proven Results:

+15% increase dry yield+16% in stem diameter+14% in growth rate

Pro Tip: Use Tribus Original on seedlings to reduce the time from cut to root in clones while simultaneously encouraging vigorous development of new Roots.

Why Tribus?

Consortia

Tribus Original is a combination of three growth-promoting bacteria that work syngergistically to promote aggressive plant growth. Together, these bacteria mobilize locked-out and soil-bound nutrients that are otherwise unavailable to the plant and encourage root growth for greater nutrient and water uptake.

Persistence

The bacteria in Tribus have each other's back. On top of their endospore-forming ability, which helps them stick to soil particles instead of washing-out and helps them survive fluctuations in pH, water and nutrients, and temperatues, each species of bacteria in Tribus help each other thrive in the root zone. This means that Tribus continues to work in complex field-soil ecosystems where other inoculants lose efficacy almost immediately after application.

Efficacy

From the field to the greenhouse, Tribus promotes rapid plant growth in ways traditional inputs can't. The high concentration of bacteria ensures efficacy even at extremely low application rates, and the nutrient-mobilizing capabilities of Tribus means that most farmers can fertilize less and yield more while improving their soil quality for years to come.

Universal

Tribus can be tank-mixed and applied with all types of fertilizers, biostimulants, other beneficial microorganisms, and even most pesticides to save you time and effort. Because Tribus is highly salt and pH-tolerant, you don't have to worry about losing efficacy when mixing with strong fertilizers. Plus, Tribus is free-flowing, so it won't clog injectors, drip lines, or hydroponic systems. Ever.

WHAT IS A CFU?

A CFU, or Colony Forming Unit, is a measure of viable bacteria in each millimetre of product. The more CFU’s, the greater the effect of each application.

INFORMATION QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil. The plants thrive on the nutrient-water solution alone. The growing medium merely acts as a support for the plants and their root systems while the solution passes freely. The growing medium, if any, is totally inert.

What types of plants grow best hydroponically?

Anything can be grown hydroponically, but some plants prove to be more space efficient. Some plants we suggest are tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot chilies, lettuce, spinach, squash, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, snow peas, herbs and flowers of all types.

Can you REALLY get better yields/quicker growth?

Absolutely. The plants, when receiving everything they need, tend to be healthier, faster growing and generally more productive. You can expect 30% faster growth with many crops.

What are the watering cycle timelines hydroponic systems?

Once the reservoir is filled with nutrients, it is time to put your hydro system to work! The ease of hydroponics is automation – automation is achieved by putting the pump on a timer according to your watering needs. The watering cycle depends on growth stage, growing medium and hydroponic system. In an ebb and flow or drip system with rockwool as the medium, seedlings, clones and plants in the early vegetative stage require watering only once a day for 15-30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Mature, flowering and fruiting plants require a heavier feed and can be fed once a day for 30 minutes (twice a day for higher temps). Typically soiless mixes and coco fiber can be watered for about 15 minutes twice a day, and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. ViaStone, Hydroton, Grow Rocks, and Silicate mediums need to be watered more frequently – a constant drip for drip systems, and about 15-30 minutes every 3 hours for ebb and flow systems and can be adjusted for heavier feeding during the flowering and fruiting stage or higher temps. Aeroponic systems require frequent watering cycles; 30-60 seconds every few minutes or a constant spray.

What do I need to test pH? How do I test pH?

pH has a range from 0 (acidic) – 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. A proper hydroponic pH range is between 5.5 to 6.2 for most hydroponic crops. For specific crop pH, check out our Plant Guide. pH must remain within the proper range for good plant health, disease resistance, and proper nutrient uptake. pH is maintained by adding pH Up and pH Down to the nutrient solution. For more information, see the Testssection of our site.

How will the flavor compare to my outdoor grown, organic produce?

The taste may be even better! This is simply due to the fact that the hydroponically grown plants are getting everything they need, when they need it. Don’t be fooled by “hot house” produce grown commercially. The grower’s primary concern is shipability and storage, not flavor. When you grow your own vegetables at home, you can expect nothing less than excellent results. Plus, hydroponically grown produce has the added benefit of a longer shelf life.
