Key Benefits of Using Ecothrive Life-Cycle
- Soil Reusability and Cost Savings: Designed specifically to replenish spent soil and coco coir, eliminating the expense and chore of disposing of old media and buying new bags.
- Comprehensive Nutrient Spectrum: Replenishes depleted soil with a balanced mix of primary nutrients (N-P-K 2/4.5/2.4) and essential trace minerals, including micronised Rock Phosphate and Basalt Rock Dust.
- Boosts Plant Defence: Includes Ecothrive Charge (Mealworm Frass) and Neem to strengthen the plant's natural immune response and offer protection against common soil pests and pathogens.
- Enhanced Flavour and Aroma: Contains Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate) which is crucial for improving the final quality, flavour, and aroma of fast-growing plants.
- Revitalises Soil Biology: Rich in Humic and Fulvic Acids which chelate nutrients, stimulate microbial activity (especially when paired with Ecothrive Biosys), and ensure long-term soil health.
How to use Ecothrive Life-Cycle
Life-Cycle is a dry powder amendment that is mixed into the substrate to replenish or enhance nutrient content.
Rejuvenating Used Soil/Coco Coir:
- Application Rate: Lightly dust 2–8 tablespoons (30–120g) onto 45–60L of used soil.
- Method: Blend thoroughly with the media. It is also recommended to add fresh compost or worm castings (approximately 5% of the pot volume) to increase biological diversity.
- Note: Application rates can be reduced over multiple cycles.
Creating Custom Living Soil Mixes:
- Application Rate per 50L of Soil/Coco:
- Light Fertility: 300–400g
- Moderate Fertility: 500–600g
- High Fertility: 800–1000g - Method: Mix Life-Cycle thoroughly with your base substrate and 20–30% high-quality compost/worm castings. Allow the mix to "cook" and cool down before use.
Top Dressing Established Plants:
- Application Rate: Lightly dust the surface of each 40–50L pot with 1–2 tablespoons (15–30ml).
- Frequency: Top-dress once in late vegetative/early flowering stage and again 3–4 weeks later.
- Method: Water as usual immediately after application. The last top dress should be applied 4–5 weeks before harvest.
Can be used with most grow media including soil and coco.
Available in 250g, 1kg and 5kg.
