Applications & Dosage Guidelines

Hydroponics

Beneficial Bacteria Cultivation:

• Mix 5-10ml per 10 litres of nutrient solution
• Add weekly during reservoir changes
• Best used with beneficial bacteria inoculants
• Monitor for foam formation (indicates active microbial growth)

Flowering & Fruiting Boost:

• Apply 3-5ml per 10 litres during bloom phase
• Increase to 8-10ml per 10 litres for heavy fruiting crops
• Reduce frequency to bi-weekly for mature systems
• Stop application 1-2 weeks before harvest

System Conditioning:

• New system startup: 15ml per 10 litres for first week
• Allow 24-48 hours for microbial establishment
• Reduce to maintenance dose after biofilm formation

Aquaponics

Biological Filter Enhancement:

• Add 3-5ml per 100 litres of total system volume
• Apply weekly for first month, then bi-weekly
• Focus application near biological filter media
• Monitor ammonia and nitrite levels closely

Plant Zone Application:

• Direct root zone feeding: 2-3ml per 10 litres of grow bed volume
• Mix with irrigation water for even distribution
• Apply during early morning or evening hours
• Increase during heavy fruiting periods

System Maturation:

• New systems: 10ml per 100 litres for first 2 weeks
• Helps establish beneficial bacteria populations
• Accelerates nitrogen cycle development
• Reduces fish stress during cycling period

Sandponics

Sand Bed Conditioning:

• Mix 8-10ml per 10 litres of irrigation solution
• Apply weekly to establish microbial communities
• Focus on root zone areas for maximum benefit
• Combine with beneficial bacteria supplements

Nutrient Enhancement:

• Maintenance dose: 5ml per 10 litres of nutrient solution
• Increase during flowering: 8-12ml per 10 litres
• Apply through drip irrigation for even distribution
• Monitor drainage water for excess sugar content

Aquaculture & Fish Ponds

Water Quality Management:

• Add 2-3ml per 100 litres of pond water
• Apply bi-weekly during warm months
• Focus on areas with organic debris accumulation
• Best used with adequate aeration

Beneficial Bacteria Support:

• Combine with probiotic supplements for enhanced effect
• Apply 5ml per 100 litres when introducing new fish
• Use during disease prevention protocols
• Monitor fish behavior for 24 hours after application

Traditional Gardening

Soil Amendment:

• Mix 15-20ml per 10 litres of irrigation water
• Apply monthly during growing season
• Water soil thoroughly after application
• Best applied in evening to prevent rapid evaporation

Compost Acceleration:

• Add 30-50ml per cubic meter of compost material
• Enhances decomposition rate by 30-50%
• Improves final compost quality and nutrient content
• Mix thoroughly with organic matter

Foliar Application:

• Dilute 5ml in 1 litre of water for foliar spray
• Apply early morning or late evening
• Use during vegetative growth phase
• Strain solution to prevent nozzle clogging

Application Methods & Timing

Direct Addition Method:

• Always dilute in water before adding to systems
• Add slowly while circulating water
• Never pour concentrated molasses directly into systems
• Allow 2-4 hours for complete mixing

Pre-Mixing Technique:

• Create concentrated solution: 100ml molasses in 1 litre warm water
• Store diluted solution for up to 1 week refrigerated
• Use diluted solution for accurate dosing
• Shake well before each use

Optimal Timing:

• Apply during active plant growth periods
• Best absorption occurs during evening hours
• Avoid application during peak sunlight
• Coordinate with nutrient feeding schedules

Safety & Storage Guidelines

Storage Requirements:

• Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Temperature range: 10-25°C for optimal shelf life
• Keep container tightly sealed when not in use
• Shelf life: 24 months unopened, 12 months once opened

Application Safety:

• Wear gloves when handling to prevent sticky residue
• Clean equipment thoroughly after use
• Rinse hands and tools with warm soapy water
• Safe for organic growing systems

System Monitoring:

• Check pH levels 24 hours after application
• Monitor for excessive microbial growth (foaming)
• Watch for changes in water clarity
• Test dissolved oxygen levels in closed systems

Troubleshooting & Best Practices

Signs of Overuse:

• Excessive foaming in water systems
• Rapid pH fluctuations
• Algae blooms in bright light conditions
• Sweet odor from growing systems

Optimization Tips:

• Start with lower doses and gradually increase
• Combine with aeration for best results
• Use in conjunction with beneficial bacteria products
• Monitor plant response and adjust accordingly

Compatibility:

• Safe with most hydroponic nutrients
• Compatible with organic growing methods
• Works well with mycorrhizal fungi supplements
• Do not mix directly with hydrogen peroxide

Nutrient Content (Approximate)

• Potassium (K): 3.5-4.5%
