BBC2 (which stands for Beneficial Bacteria Culture 2) is a microbe treatment for plants. The scientists at Evoponic screened over 3000 strains of micro organisms to find a mix that will work together, not out compete each other. This is what creates a very healthy media for the plants as everything is working together. The bacteria in BBC2 enhance enzyme production and upgrade nutrient cycling. This speeds plant processes and food use, which in turn boosts growth. They also assist with nitrate conversion and the use of ammonia. BBC2 helps the plant absorb potassium and phosphorus and increases iron uptake. 1 gram contains 20 million colony forming units.
BBC2 creates a bio film on the root surface, protecting them from bad micro organisms. Plants will be stronger against fusarium, pythium, and other diseases. The bacteria will help renew poor quality soil and make for a richer root zone, and healthier plants. Always be sure to use the grow chart for best results.

Alternatives to BBC2
At Straight Up Hydro, we have a few other micro organism additives. They include, Voodoo Juice, Great White and Plant Magic Granules. They’re a great way to boost health because the microbes will grow and colonise the root zone and boost performance. All of these and more are on our website in the nutrients section, here.
