Right and Wrong Ways to Enhance Your Crops Using Biology

Most cultivators know, understand, and accept that beneficial biology is advantageous for plant growth. Some growers use compost to add beneficial biology to their substrate while others use inoculants or other biological amendments. Unfortunately, neither of these solutions are ideal.

Do’s and Don’ts to Enhance Your Crops Using Biology

If you’re growing in a controlled environment, you should use the best solution to enhance your crops using biology. Let’s take a closer look at the options so you can make the right decision for your crops.

1. Don’t Get Your Biology from Anything Made with Compost or Made Outdoors in Piles

Anything made with compost or made outdoors in piles will provide a diverse biological population, which is good. However, it also comes with a risk of containing harmful organisms that could damage your crop, which is very bad. In this case, the bad components are a bigger problem than the good components are a benefit.

In addition, anything made with compost will be too dense for your plant growth to be optimal. It simply doesn’t have great air porosity, which is essential for optimized root development.

2. Don’t Get Your Biology from a Bottle

When you buy inoculants or biological amendments, you’ll end up spending a lot of money on products that are not effective enough. In simplest terms, the cost-benefit analysis for buying biology in a bottle is bad. You pay too much and get too little in return.

Biology in a bottle is clean, which is good and solves the dirty problem of composts. However, to actually enable real plant signaling and gain the full benefits of biology, you need tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of biological strains that, together, create biomass. Most inoculants contain a single strain or several strains, which is not even close to the tens or hundreds of thousands of strains that your plants need to thrive.

3. Do Give Your Plants Clean Wide Spectrum Biology in Your Substrate

What your plants actually want to survive and thrive is clean, wide spectrum biology with tens or hundreds of thousands of strains, not just one or a few strains. This means you should use a wide spectrum but clean biological solution.

That is the ideal solution for enhancing your crop with biology, and you can get it with bio365. All bio365 substrates offer clean, ultra-wide spectrum biology made indoors in specially designed rooms that have been proven to deliver better results than anything made with compost, made outdoors in piles, or delivered from a bottle.
