The people at the hydro store said that I could stop some root hassles with this. They didn’t say anything about getting larger flowers. I guess I was not expecting to see a bigger harvest. The only thing I did different was to start Tarantula in the middle of grow cycle. So somehow what happened around the roots made the flowers larger in bloom!”
Nathaniel, from Dearborn, Michigan Obviously, we absolutely make sure Tarantula microbes are always the ZR1 Corvette with the 620 horsepower motor, not the Chevy Malibu! Here’s how we do it… • Advanced Nutrients hires the sharpest microbiologists in the world. One of them is especially impressive: she has THREE PhD degrees! We have a team of scientists testing and breeding hundreds of subvarieties of Bacillus subtilis and other beneficial microbes in a continual research program, and we are always upgrading our formulas. • It’s a known fact that specific beneficial microbes work better with certain plants than others. That’s why we put so much time and money into our breeding program. We’re driven to find the needle in the haystack of microbes that works absolutely the best for the plants you grow. • Our scientists demand that we buy them all the expensive, precision equipment needed to identify each microbial strain’s special characteristics and compatibility with each other that make them “Superstrains”. That’s why our microbes are also extremely fast-replicating so they quickly colonize root zones for rapid results (yes, we test for fast- versus slow-replicating microbes). • Tarantula is NOT outsourced. We’re the only hydroponics nutrient company in the world manufacturing all our microbial products ourselves with a full-time PhD microbiologist personally supervising all aspects of production at all times. The same is true for our Piranha and Voodoo Juice products. • Each microbial strain is individually bred (not in a bunch of vats or tubs) in a purpose-built 10,000-liter breeding reactor. This is a very critical, time-consuming step, but it’s necessary because different strains of beneficial microbes breed at different rates and we have to ensure total uniformity and maximum colony-forming units (CFUs). After breeding, the microbes are taken to the evaporation tower and dried, and then all the strains in Tarantula are carefully recombined. • To ensure Tarantula’s very long shelf life and superior viability, its microbes are put into hibernation with an “antagonist” compound that keeps the microbes dormant until you mix Tarantula into a nutrient reservoir and the antagonist is diluted. • As soon as the antagonist is diluted, Tarantula’s microbes immediately exit dormancy, replicate quickly, and burst into action for you by wrapping themselves around and penetrating into roots, promoting the production of bloom-boosting hormones for fantastic flowers, and maximizing root size and function. When you pick up Tarantula today, you’re on your way to making your garden the maximum-yielding envy of all your friends. Get your roots enhanced using Tarantula, and watch the guaranteed optimum bud results.
