| Tarantula is a bacterial blend of 57 microorganisms, with 1.4 billion Colony Forming Units per gram. This is the hightest concentration of microorganisms in the world. Beneficial bacteria provide a number of benefits, including: minimal nutrient leaching, aid in nutrient absorption, improve soil and growing medium structure, enhance seed germination, and stimulate root growth. Research has shown that beneficial bacteria are most effective when used in combination with beneficial fungi.

Your plants' roots are the key to your yield size and potency, that's what the research shows.
Yet the first thing you notice about most hydroponics roots zones is they are biologically sterile. Nothing other than roots is alive in them.
However, in some circumstances you'll find your hydroponics root zone isn't sterile, because your roots are being attacked by harmful fungi, bacteria, and diseases that eat your roots and rot them.
And when you focus on your roots, you might notice that they're bare and spindly-looking. But healthy roots actually look healthy, not like most roots you'll see. They're "muscular," intensely-branched, thickened, and robustly alive.
You don't see that kind of roots very often in hydroponics gardens unless you've imported beneficial microbes into your root zone.
But how do you do that?
THE TINIEST ORGANISMS PRODUCE THE BIGGEST YIELDS FOR YOU
Inserting beneficial microbes into your root zone is easy when you administer Tarantula to your crops, so let's look at all the good things that'll happen for your plants when you do.
For example, my scientists bred Pseudomonas chlororaphis because it's a "plant growth promoting rhizobacteria," or PGPR.
Now here's the really interesting thing about pseudomonas and other PGPR's: they digest organic debris in your root zone by secreting compounds called cytokinins that stimulate floral production, plant health, and plant branching.
These cytokinins, otherwise known as phytohormones, enter your plants and promote floral cell division, branching, and also have an anti-aging effect.
Guess what…the anti-aging affect means your flowers create more potent oils, and your plants have more vigor longer into bloom phase than they normally would.
YOU PUT UP A MICROBIAL BARRIER THAT PROTECTS YOUR PLANTS
Beneficial root zone microbes protect your plants by creating a barrier that keeps harmful microbes from getting started in your root zone.
Our studies found that in hydroponics root zones that were not treated with beneficial bacteria, there was a 39% chance that harmful bacteria had crept in.
You may have experienced this as root rot, loss of clones, slow growth, or smaller yields, without knowing that your root zone had been colonized by harmful bacteria.
Along with the benefits outlined previously, beneficial microbes establish a line of defense that outcompetes with harmfuls so your roots are safer and stronger.
But that's not all. You get leaf and stem protection when you spray Tarantula as a foliar so it stops powdery mildew and other problems that can harm your leaves and flowers.
- Decompose organic matter to create extra nutrition for your plants
- Increase plant growth rates and yields
- Increase nutrient uptake and solubility of minerals
- Produce natural plant growth hormones
- Improve aeration and water-holding capacity of root zone material
- Increased viability of seeds, clones and transplants
- Enhance availability of phosphorous and Increase conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to plant-available nitrogen
- Defeat harmful fungi, molds and bacteria
One other thing... for beneficial microbes products to be successful for you, they have to have a very high number of colony-forming units per gram.
In simpler language, this means that the formula should have a high number of microbes per gram. Tarantula clocks in at 1.4 billion viable bacteria per gram, making it by far the strongest of its type.
NOT ALL BENEFICIAL ROOT MICROBES FORMULAS ARE CREATED EQUAL
It's confusing and frustrating when you go to a hydroponics store and see beneficial microbes formulas made by different manufacturers. Your obvious question is which of these is going to give me the biggest bang for my buck.
One thing to remember is there are two very distinct processes manufacturers can choose from when they want to offer you beneficial microbes products.
The most common process happens when a hydroponics company calculates that it can save on production costs by hiring a third-party company to bulk produce/bulk combine microbes without testing them for specific plant appropriateness or microbial compatibility.
And in the process they forfeit supervision of manufacturing and quality control.
Not only that, but their process includes an overly generic view of microbes. For example, when someone talks about the microbe "Bacillus Subtilis," that strain name is really just the tip of the iceberg…it's exactly like saying "General Motors" to describe a car, but you have no idea if it's a Pontiac or a Chevy.
And if it's a Chevy, it could be either a Malibu or Corvette. So if you're lucky, you got the Corvette - but you're still left guessing if your Corvette has the 300 hp motor or if it's a ZR1 Corvette with the 620 horsepower motor!
Obviously we absolutely make sure Tarantula microbes are always the ZR1 Corvette with 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 Ph.D. degrees! We have a team of scientists testing and breeding hundreds of sub-varieties 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 work 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 Ph.D. microbiologist personally supervising all aspects of production at all times. (The same is true for our Piranha and Voodoo Juice products)
- Each microbe 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 (CFU's). 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, creating flower-boosting hormones, and increasing 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 protected and enhanced using Tarantula, and watch the guaranteed bigger bud results.
