A highly concentrated 4-14-4 root stimulator combining mineral nutrition, biostimulants and bio-minerals to support rapid root development, stronger early growth and increased plant resilience.
Atami Rootbastic is a premium concentrated root stimulator developed specifically for the crucial early stages of crop development. Its unusually high concentration of phosphorus, combined with additional mineral nutrition, trace elements and biostimulant components, provides targeted support while plants establish their root systems.
Rootbastic stands apart from many conventional rooting additives because it has a substantial NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W. Atami highlights phosphorus as particularly important within the formula because of its role in energy transport and storage and its contribution to essential cellular structures during active plant development.
Alongside its mineral nutrition, Rootbastic contains a concentrated combination of biostimulants and bio-minerals. Atami identifies improved root development, greater resistance to root disease and increased resilience to environmental stress among the principal benefits of the product.
Rootbastic is designed for a short, intensive programme during early crop development. Application begins at only 0.1ml/L and gradually increases to 0.3ml/L. The larger 1.25L format provides a substantial amount of concentrate for growers running larger reservoirs or treating greater crop areas.
Why choose Atami Rootbastic?
- Powerful root stimulator – specifically formulated to support vigorous root development during the crucial early stages of plant growth.
- High NPK concentration – provides an NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W.
- High phosphorus content – phosphorus plays an important role in cellular energy transfer and storage during active development.
- Biostimulants & bio-minerals – combines mineral nutrition with additional components designed to support plant development.
- Trace mineral support – provides trace elements important during early root formation.
- Supports healthier root systems – developed to promote strong root establishment before later crop development.
- Supports resistance to root disease – Atami identifies increased resistance to root diseases as one of Rootbastic's key benefits.
- Environmental stress support – designed to help plants withstand challenging environmental conditions.
- Extremely concentrated – used at only 0.1–0.3ml per litre.
- Suitable for soil, coco & hydro – suitable across the principal professional growing methods.
When should Atami Rootbastic be used?
Rootbastic is intended for the early rooting and growth stages when the plant is actively establishing its root system. Atami describes the product as being particularly effective during the first three weeks of the growth cycle.
Rather than viewing Rootbastic as an all-cycle additive, it is best treated as a concentrated early-stage treatment. The application rate increases progressively as the root system develops, beginning at 0.1ml/L before increasing to 0.2ml/L and finally 0.3ml/L.
This progressive approach provides increasing levels of Rootbastic as the young plant becomes established without immediately introducing the maximum concentration.
Rootbastic is suitable for cultivation in soil, coco coir and hydroponic systems. It can be incorporated into a wider crop nutrition programme during the period when strong root establishment is the priority.
How to use Atami Rootbastic
Shake well before use. Add Rootbastic to the normal nutrient solution during the early rooting and growth phase.
Begin at 0.1ml/L during the first stage of the programme. Increase to 0.2ml/L during the second stage and then to 0.3ml/L during the third stage as root development progresses.
At the initial 0.1ml/L rate, use 1ml for 10L, 5ml for 50L, 10ml for 100L, 50ml for 500L and 100ml for a 1,000L reservoir.
At 0.2ml/L, use 2ml for 10L, 10ml for 50L, 20ml for 100L, 100ml for 500L and 200ml for a 1,000L reservoir.
At the maximum 0.3ml/L rate, use 3ml for 10L, 15ml for 50L, 30ml for 100L, 150ml for 500L and 300ml for a 1,000L reservoir.
Rootbastic increases the EC of the base nutrient solution. EC should therefore be monitored after Rootbastic has been incorporated and the overall nutrient strength adjusted according to the crop, growing medium and stage of development.
Why is phosphorus important during root development?
Rootbastic contains considerably more phosphorus than many conventional root stimulators. Atami highlights phosphorus because it plays a fundamental role in the transport and storage of energy within plants.
Energy captured through photosynthesis is stored and transferred through compounds such as ATP, allowing energy to be moved to areas of active development. Phosphorus is also an important component of cellular structures and DNA.
Rootbastic combines this phosphorus-rich mineral nutrition with trace elements, biostimulants and bio-minerals to create a concentrated formula aimed specifically at the establishment of a healthy root system.
Establishing an extensive root system early in the crop cycle gives the plant a larger foundation through which water and mineral nutrition can subsequently be absorbed as above-ground growth increases.

Atami Rootbastic 1.25L FAQs
What does Atami Rootbastic do?
Rootbastic is designed to stimulate strong early root development and support plant establishment. Atami also identifies increased resistance to root disease and improved resilience to environmental stress among its benefits.
What is the NPK of Atami Rootbastic?
Atami Rootbastic has an NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W, giving it a particularly high phosphorus concentration for a root stimulator.
Why does Rootbastic contain so much phosphorus?
Phosphorus plays an important role in plant energy transfer and storage and is involved in essential cellular structures. Rootbastic uses a phosphorus-rich formula to provide targeted nutritional support during intensive early root development.
When should I use Atami Rootbastic?
Rootbastic is designed for the early rooting and growth phase while the plant is establishing its root system. It is an intensive early-stage product rather than an additive intended for continuous use throughout the entire crop cycle.
How much Atami Rootbastic should I use per litre?
Start at 0.1ml/L during the first stage of the programme, increase to 0.2ml/L during the second stage and then use 0.3ml/L during the third stage of early growth.
Can Atami Rootbastic be used throughout the whole crop cycle?
Rootbastic is primarily designed for early root establishment. Once the intensive rooting programme is complete, crop nutrition should progress according to the plant's next stage of development rather than continuing Rootbastic unnecessarily throughout the entire cycle.
Can Atami Rootbastic be used in coco?
Yes. Rootbastic is suitable for coco coir cultivation and can be incorporated into an appropriate coco nutrient programme during early crop development.
Can Atami Rootbastic be used in hydroponics?
Yes. Rootbastic is suitable for hydroponic cultivation as well as coco and soil-based growing programmes.
Can Atami Rootbastic be used in soil?
Yes. Rootbastic can be used with soil-grown plants during early establishment when additional support for root development is required.
Does Rootbastic increase EC?
Yes. Atami specifically states that Rootbastic increases the EC of the base nutrient solution. Overall EC should therefore be checked after Rootbastic has been added rather than treating it as an EC-neutral additive.
Can I use Rootbastic alongside my base nutrients?
Yes. Rootbastic is a concentrated early-stage supplement rather than a complete standalone crop nutrition programme. Its NPK contribution and effect on EC should be taken into account when combining it with the base nutrient.
Do I need to shake Atami Rootbastic before use?
Yes. Atami instructs growers to shake Rootbastic well before use to ensure the concentrated liquid is properly mixed before measuring.
Is the 1.25L Rootbastic suitable for larger growing systems?
Yes. The formulation and application rates are the same as the smaller Rootbastic sizes, but the 1.25L bottle is particularly convenient for larger reservoirs, higher plant numbers and growers using the product regularly across multiple crops.
How many 1.25L bottles are in a full case of Atami Rootbastic?
A full outer case contains 12 x 1.25L bottles. Individual 1.25L bottles can still be ordered separately.
