£39.95

A concentrated carbohydrate supplement that provides an energy-rich food source for beneficial root-zone microbes throughout vegetative growth and flowering.

Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad combines simple and complex carbohydrates to support the biological activity around the root zone. Its carbohydrate blend provides a readily available food source for beneficial microbes, helping maintain the conditions these microorganisms need to thrive alongside a complete plant nutrition programme.

The formula combines complex carbohydrates derived from a proprietary gum extract with carefully selected simple carbohydrates, including glucose and xylose. Advanced Nutrients specifically links these carbohydrates with beneficial microbial activity, nutrient absorption and support for terpene and essential oil development.

CarboLoad is not a base nutrient or PK booster. Instead, it is a 0-0-0 carbohydrate supplement designed to complement the existing feeding programme. At the recommended 2ml/L rate, this 5L commercial-size container provides enough concentrate for approximately 2,500 litres of nutrient solution.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad?

  • Simple & complex carbohydrate blend – provides a varied carbohydrate food source within the root-zone environment.
  • Feeds beneficial microbes – particularly useful in nutrient programmes incorporating beneficial bacteria and fungi.
  • Supports nutrient absorption – healthy root-zone microbial populations play an important role in nutrient availability and uptake.
  • Contains glucose & xylose – two carbohydrates specifically highlighted within the Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad formulation.
  • Supports flowering performance – designed to maintain an energy-rich root-zone environment as crop demand increases.
  • Use through grow & bloom – the current Advanced Nutrients programme specifies CarboLoad during both vegetative growth and flowering.
  • 0-0-0 supplement – complements the main nutrient programme without functioning as another NPK base feed.
  • Hydroponic & coco compatible – suitable for a wide range of growing media and continuous liquid-feed systems.
  • Commercial 5L format – provides approximately 2,500 litres of prepared solution at the recommended rate.

What is Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad suitable for?

CarboLoad is particularly useful for growers running biologically active root zones or using microbial supplements. Its carbohydrate blend provides a food source for beneficial microorganisms, making it a natural companion to root-zone products such as beneficial bacteria and fungi.

The current Advanced Nutrients programme uses CarboLoad throughout vegetative development and active flowering, then withdraws it for the final flush. This makes it suitable for maintaining carbohydrate availability across the main crop cycle rather than treating it solely as a late-flowering additive.

Advanced Nutrients identifies CarboLoad as suitable for indoor and outdoor growing, regular watering, irrigation systems, hydroponics and coco coir. It can also be used in continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nutrient film technique (NFT), flood and drain and deep water culture (DWC).

How to use Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad

Add CarboLoad at 2ml per litre of water or prepared nutrient solution throughout vegetative growth and flowering. Continue through the active flowering phase, then discontinue CarboLoad when the crop enters its final flush.

For 10L of nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 50L, use 100ml. For a 100L reservoir, use 200ml. Commercial growers preparing 500L of solution will require 1 litre of CarboLoad.

CarboLoad is compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect base nutrients and supplements, as well as compatible nutrient programmes from other manufacturers.

Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad FAQs

What is Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad?

CarboLoad is a 0-0-0 carbohydrate supplement containing simple and complex carbohydrates. It is designed to provide a food source for beneficial root-zone microbes and complement the main nutrient programme throughout vegetative growth and flowering.

What does CarboLoad do?

CarboLoad supplies carbohydrates to the root-zone environment, helping nourish beneficial microbial populations. Advanced Nutrients links this microbial activity with efficient nutrient absorption and uses glucose and xylose within the formula to support flowering performance.

Does CarboLoad contain sugars?

Yes. CarboLoad combines selected simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrates derived from a proprietary gum extract. Advanced Nutrients specifically identifies glucose and xylose within the formulation.

Is CarboLoad a fertiliser?

CarboLoad is a plant nutrient supplement rather than a complete base fertiliser. It has an NPK analysis of 0-0-0 and is designed to complement an existing feeding programme.

How much Advanced Nutrients CarboLoad should I use?

The current Advanced Nutrients feed chart specifies CarboLoad at 2ml per litre throughout vegetative growth and flowering.

How much CarboLoad do I need for 10 litres?

Use 20ml of CarboLoad for 10 litres of nutrient solution at the recommended 2ml/L rate.

How much CarboLoad do I need for 100 litres?

Use 200ml of CarboLoad for a 100L reservoir.

How much CarboLoad do I need for a 500L reservoir?

A 500L reservoir requires 1 litre of CarboLoad at the recommended 2ml/L application rate.

How much nutrient solution will 5L of CarboLoad make?

At 2ml/L, a 5L container provides enough CarboLoad for approximately 2,500 litres of prepared nutrient solution.

Can I use CarboLoad during vegetative growth?

Yes. The current Advanced Nutrients feed chart specifies 2ml/L throughout vegetative growth as well as flowering.

When should I stop using CarboLoad?

Continue CarboLoad through the active flowering phase and discontinue it when the crop enters its final flush.

Can CarboLoad be used with beneficial bacteria and fungi?
