£38.95

A concentrated beneficial fungi root enhancer that helps establish a more efficient rhizosphere, expand the effective root area and improve nutrient uptake.

Advanced Nutrients Piranha is a microbial root-zone supplement formulated around beneficial fungi. It introduces ectomycorrhizal and endomycorrhizal fungi that work in association with plant roots, helping create a productive and well-balanced rhizosphere.

The mycorrhizal fungi extend the effective reach of the root system, increasing the area available for accessing water and nutrients. Piranha also supports the conversion and movement of nutrients into plant-available forms, helping crops make more efficient use of the nutrition already present around the roots.

Piranha can be used alongside Voodoo Juice and Tarantula as part of a broader microbial root-zone programme. Each product supplies different groups of beneficial microorganisms, so they perform complementary rather than interchangeable roles.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients Piranha?

  • Beneficial fungi for the root zone – introduces useful fungi to help establish a productive rhizosphere.
  • Expands effective root area – mycorrhizal fungi extend the area through which plants can access water and nutrients.
  • Supports nutrient absorption – helps improve the movement and availability of essential nutrition around the root system.
  • Ecto and endomycorrhizal activity – uses fungi that interact with the root zone in complementary ways.
  • Supports environmental resilience – helps plants tolerate abiotic stresses associated with changes in their growing environment.
  • Suitable across growing systems – designed for soil, coco and a wide range of hydroponic applications.
  • Works with other microbial products – can be used alongside Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice and Tarantula.
  • Highly concentrated – the 1L bottle treats approximately 500L of nutrient solution at the standard 2ml/L rate.

What is Piranha suitable for?

Piranha is designed for growers who want to introduce beneficial fungi into the root zone during important periods of root establishment and crop transition.

It is suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation and can be used with soil, coco coir and hydroponic growing media. Advanced Nutrients also specifies compatibility with continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nutrient film technique (NFT), flood and drain and deep water culture (DWC).

Piranha is compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect base nutrients as well as non-pH Perfect base nutrients and supplements. It can also be incorporated into programmes using other manufacturers' base nutrients and supplements.

How to use Advanced Nutrients Piranha

Use Piranha at 2ml per litre of nutrient solution. Introduce it during early vegetative growth and root establishment, then use it again around the transition into early flowering.

For a 10L nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 50L, use 100ml, and for a 100L reservoir, use 200ml.

At the standard 2ml/L application rate, a 1L bottle provides enough Piranha for approximately 500 litres of nutrient solution.

Piranha can be used alongside Voodoo Juice and Tarantula where a broader microbial programme is required. Voodoo Juice and Tarantula supply beneficial bacteria with different roles, while Piranha provides the beneficial fungi component.

Advanced Nutrients Piranha FAQs

What does Advanced Nutrients Piranha do?

Piranha introduces beneficial fungi into the root zone. These microorganisms help create a balanced rhizosphere, expand the effective root area and improve the plant's ability to access nutrients.

How much Piranha should I use per litre?

Use Piranha at 2ml per litre. This means 20ml for 10L, 100ml for 50L or 200ml for a 100L reservoir.

How much nutrient solution will 1L of Piranha treat?

At the standard 2ml/L application rate, a 1L bottle treats approximately 500 litres of nutrient solution.

When should I use Advanced Nutrients Piranha?

Use Piranha during early vegetative growth and root establishment, then again around the transition into early flowering. This translates the manufacturer's feed schedule into crop stages rather than relying on fixed calendar weeks.

Is Piranha the same as Voodoo Juice or Tarantula?

No. The three products contain different groups of beneficial microorganisms. Piranha is primarily the beneficial fungi component, while Voodoo Juice and Tarantula provide different beneficial bacterial groups. They can therefore be used together as complementary root-zone products.

Can Piranha be used with Voodoo Juice and Tarantula?

Yes. Advanced Nutrients specifically supports using Piranha alongside Voodoo Juice and Tarantula as part of a broader microbial root-zone programme.

Can Advanced Nutrients Piranha be used in hydroponics?

Yes. Piranha is designed for hydroponic growing media and continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation, NFT, flood and drain and deep water culture.

Can Piranha be used in coco?

Yes. Advanced Nutrients lists Piranha as suitable for coco coir as well as hydroponic growing media and conventionally watered crops.

Can Piranha be used with other nutrient brands?

Yes. Advanced Nutrients states that Piranha is compatible with its pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect nutrient programmes as well as other manufacturers' base nutrients and supplements.

Is Piranha a base nutrient?

No. Piranha has an NPK of 0-0-0 and is used as a beneficial microbial root-zone supplement alongside an appropriate base nutrient programme.
