DARK-MATTER Explained

Overview

DARK-MATTER is an advanced, living formulation comprising a curated selection of beneficial Fungi & Rhizobacteria in addition to potent, natural Microbial & Growth boosters. It is designed to work in a multitude of ways, with each ingredient building on the last resulting in a cascade of plant health and growth benefits.

These all stack together meaning stronger - faster growing plants, that have a higher yield, improved end quality, along with the ability to resist and recover from common and pesky pathogens and insects.

How Does It Work?

DARK-MATTER not only extends the root system of your plant through the Endo & Ecto Mycorrhizal Networks, making the root system drastically larger and more efficient. Much of the observable universe is made up of a force we cannot see, in likeness there is much - MUCH more going on beneath the surface with soil than meets the eye.

DARK-MATTER populates the entire rootzone with soil balancing microbes that "fill the gaps", crowding out the ability of Pathogens to take hold, containing species that have demonstrated abilities to control Non-Beneficial nematodes (while leaving beneficials alone), Pathogenic Fungi and Insects.

To aid in rapid establishment and overall microbial mass, the Myco-Munchies blend for this formulation feeds and nurtures the microbes, stimulating them into a rapid period of initial growth. Amplifying the space that the microbes can grow into, Micronised Bio-Char is included. This has an enormous, fungal friendly surface area, so it essentially gives the microbes more "room" to grow into resulting in a huge microbial colony.

Developed in conjunction with local growers over multiple seasons, tested indoors and outdoors in a variety of locations and is suitable for use in our GRO-DIRT Living Organic Super Soils (and all other soils), or is able to be put to great use in Coco and even Hydroponic systems. It is also able to be stacked with our other additives, and our range of top dressings, for organic yields, outside the realms of normal possibility.

What's In It?

Species of Fungi and Rhizobacteria employed in DARK-MATTER includes:

Rhizophagus aggregatus, Rhizophagus irregularis, Rhizophagus clarus, Funnelformis mossaea, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Glomus monosporum, Glomus diaphanum, Glomus deserticola, Rhizopogon luseolus, Rhizopogon roseolus, Rhizopogon amylopogon, Laccaria laccata, Scleroderma sepa, Scleroderma citrinum, Pisolithus tinctorius, Bacillus fluorescens, Bacillus globigii, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus coagulans, Bacillus lichenformis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Azospirillum lipoferum, Azotobacter vinelandii, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Pseudomonas putida, Actinomyces cellulosae, Arthrobacter siderocapsultus, Lactobacillus, Paecilomyces lilacinus, Beauvaria bassiana, Didymozoophaga conoides, Entomopthora anisopliae, Metacordyceps chlamydosporia, Verticillum lecanii, Hypocrea rufa f.sterilis, Sporototrichum narcissi

Dosing

DARK-MATTER makes a perfect adjunct to living soil grows, and is suitable for use from start, until the final weeks. It will not leave residues in the plant tissue. At the following application rate improved growth, prolific flowering, massive root branching, increased microbial mass and higher plant immunity can be achieved.

For general use AS A DRENCH we recommend 5 grams (approximately 1 heaped teaspoon, or one of the included scoops) - per 10ltrs water. Can be applied at this rate as often as weekly, or as little as once a month. Indoors, or outdoors.
For use on a continual basis, we recommend 1/2 to 1/4 of this dose.
For use when mixing new soils or recharging old soils, add powder at a rate of 5 grams (approximately 1 heaped teaspoon, or one of the included scoops) per 20L soil. This equates to around 1 cup (250ml) Per cubic metre of soil.

DARK-MATTER is suitable for use in Coco systems (even if bottle fed). It will enable greater nutrient uptake. It adds a third dimension, often missing in Coco, which leads to more vigorous, more resistant, and more "powerful" plants overall.

For general use we recommend 5 grams (approximately 1 heaped teaspoon, or one of the included scoops). Per 10L water/Nutrient solution. Applied weekly. Or 10 grams per 10L can be applied Fortnightly instead.
For use during the final flush weeks, the dose can be upped to 10 grams per 10L water.
For use on a continual basis, we recommend around 1 to 2 grams per 10L water/Nutrient Solution

*DARK-MATTER IS A LIVING FORMULA AND SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH STERILANTS LIKE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE OR QUARTINARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS. ADD AFTER PH ADJUSTMENT.*

DARK-MATTER is able to be used in Hydroponic systems. Similar to Coco, it will increase nutrient uptake, and root system efficiency, helping clear dead organic matter and salts. It also, due to the disease suppression capabilities, results in less root diseases and a greater resilience to the swings that can be associated.

For general use we recommend between 2 grams and 5 grams per 25L of solution. Once a week.

*DARK-MATTER is flowable in water, however, If your system utilises sensitive equipment, such as drippers, foggers, and fine rain nozzles. A pre-filter is recommended. Vigorous agitation when mixing solution should be observed to ensure all of the powder is dissolved in the solution*
