British Organic Bio Carbon Base

Provides an Energy Source for Plants AND Beneficial Microbes

Carbon Base complements Fish Base - the other base nutrient in the British Organic Bio range. Pair them together and they'll provide all of the nutrients required to get you through the grow and bloom phases.

Carbon Base introduces beneficial microbes to the mix that perform a multitude of roles. At the same time, it provides a source of material for microbes to feed on, boosting populations and allowing them to colonise the substrate. Simply put, in organic growing, microbes are vital. Mineral feeds deliver nutrients straight to roots in the form of salts. Organic extracts, however, need to be 'unlocked' by microbes in order to make them available - no microbes, no nutrient uptake. One quick tip - tap water contains chlorine, which can kill microbes off before you've even started. You can get around this quickly and easily by adding a small dose of Neutralise before making up feeds. It will neutralise the chlorine and choloramine content instantly, making it safe for use.

You'll need to use Fish Base and Carbon Base at different ratios depending on the stage of growth. Consult the British Organic Bio feed chart for directions, which can be found in the downloads section.
