Advanced Nutrients Tarantula Beneficial Bacteria Root Enhancer – 250ml

Please sign in to see pricing

£12.45

A concentrated beneficial bacteria additive designed to enrich the root zone, support nutrient availability and encourage a vigorous, productive root system.

Advanced Nutrients Tarantula introduces hand-selected beneficial bacteria to the rhizosphere, helping create a biologically active environment around plant roots. These microorganisms work alongside the root system to support efficient absorption of water and available nutrition.

Tarantula delivers 10,000,000 CFU per gram and helps support nutrient transport within the root zone. Its beneficial bacterial activity also improves the availability of important nutrients including iron and phosphorus.

Suitable for hydroponics, coco and continuous liquid-feed systems, Tarantula can be incorporated alongside an existing base nutrient programme. The 250ml bottle is a practical size for smaller reservoirs, propagation areas and growers wanting to introduce beneficial bacteria into their root-zone programme.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients Tarantula?

  • Beneficial bacterial inoculant – introduces selected beneficial bacteria directly into the root zone.
  • Supports vigorous roots – helps create a biologically active rhizosphere around the developing root system.
  • Improves nutrient absorption – microbial activity supports the movement and uptake of available nutrition.
  • Supports water absorption – helps establish favourable conditions for efficient root-zone water uptake.
  • Improves iron availability – beneficial bacterial activity helps make iron more accessible within the root zone.
  • Improves phosphorus availability – supports access to this important plant nutrient.
  • 10,000,000 CFU per gram – provides a concentrated population of beneficial bacteria.
  • Suitable for hydroponics and coco – works across a wide range of soilless growing systems.
  • Works alongside base nutrients – complements the main feeding programme rather than replacing it.

What is Advanced Nutrients Tarantula used for?

Tarantula is used to introduce beneficial bacteria into the rhizosphere, the biologically active area immediately surrounding plant roots. Establishing these microorganisms helps create favourable conditions for root development, nutrient transport and efficient water uptake.

It is particularly useful during fresh root establishment and early vegetative development, when plants are building the root network needed to support continued growth.

Tarantula can also be introduced around the beginning of flowering, helping reinforce beneficial bacterial populations as the crop moves into a new stage of development.

Tarantula, Voodoo Juice and Piranha are distinct microbial products. Advanced Nutrients formulates them with different groups of beneficial microorganisms so they can perform complementary roles within the root zone.

How to use Advanced Nutrients Tarantula

Apply Tarantula at 2ml per litre of water or nutrient solution.

For practical mixing, this is equivalent to 20ml per 10L, 100ml per 50L or 200ml per 100L.

Add the required amount to the water or prepared nutrient solution and mix thoroughly to distribute the beneficial microorganisms throughout the solution.

Use during early vegetative and root establishment and again around the beginning of flowering. Match application to these stages of crop development rather than relying on a fixed number of weeks, as production cycles vary between crops.

Advanced Nutrients Tarantula FAQs

What is Advanced Nutrients Tarantula?

Tarantula is a liquid beneficial bacteria additive designed to enrich the rhizosphere. It supports root-zone biological activity, nutrient availability and efficient absorption of water and nutrition.

What does Tarantula do for plant roots?

Tarantula introduces beneficial bacteria into the root zone, helping create a biologically active environment that supports vigorous root development and efficient nutrient and water absorption.

How much Advanced Nutrients Tarantula should I use per litre?

Advanced Nutrients recommends 2ml of Tarantula per litre of water or nutrient solution.

How much Tarantula do I need for 10 litres?

Use 20ml of Tarantula for 10 litres of water or nutrient solution when applying at the recommended rate of 2ml/L.

How much water will a 250ml bottle of Tarantula treat?

A 250ml bottle will treat approximately 125 litres of water or nutrient solution when used at 2ml/L.

When should I use Advanced Nutrients Tarantula?

Tarantula is particularly useful during early vegetative and root establishment and again around the beginning of flowering. Application should follow crop development rather than assuming every crop follows the same fixed number of weeks.

Can Tarantula be used in hydroponics?

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

Can Advanced Nutrients Tarantula be used in coco?

Yes. Tarantula is suitable for coco coir as well as hydroponic systems and regular watering programmes.

Is Tarantula the same as Voodoo Juice?

No. Tarantula and Voodoo Juice contain different groups of beneficial microorganisms designed to perform complementary roles within the root zone. Advanced Nutrients confirms that its microbial products are not interchangeable.

Is Tarantula the same as Piranha?

No. Tarantula supplies beneficial bacteria, while Piranha is formulated around beneficial fungi. The two products provide different forms of microbial root-zone support.

Can Tarantula be used with other nutrient brands?

Yes. Tarantula is compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect base nutrients and supplements, as well as other manufacturers' base nutrient and supplement programmes.

Does Tarantula replace a base nutrient?

No. Tarantula is a microbial root-zone additive rather than a complete plant fertiliser. Use it alongside an appropriate base nutrient programme.
