Grow Your Plants to their Full Potential
Each ingredient in Myco Chum was selected with a purpose. This formula provides a generous amount of macro and micronutrients to support ongoing healthier plant growth. Elevate your favorite plants to their full potential!
How To Use Myco Chum
To use, start by mixing 5 ml (1 tsp) into 1 gallon for a light feed and water into your plants. You may use up to 15 ml (1tbsp) per gallon. Do not exceed.
Myco Chum can also be used to brew compost tea at a rate of up to 1 tbsp per gallon.
Once you’ve added the appropriate amount of Myco Chum to your plants, simply water it in, add it to your reservoir, or feed out through drip lines. It’s that simple!
Myco Chum Ingredients
Myco Chum is made of 4 key ingredients: Molasses, Kelp, Fish Hydrolysate, and Humic Acid.
Molasses
Molasses is a sugar, sulfur, and nutrient-dense ingredient that can provide your plants with a wide spectrum of minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. The healthy microorganisms in your garden absolutely love eating sugar, and molasses can also give them an extra healthy boost!
Kelp
Kelp is an additive that provides plenty of micro-nutrients to your plants while also giving them the ability to better absorb other nutrients in the soil. It can aid in expanding root systems to ensure that your plants can access as many nearby nutrients as possible.
Fish Hydrolysate
Fish hydrolysate is rich in healthy bacteria and mycorrhizae. This ingredient can aid your plant’s roots in absorbing more nutrients and water in the surrounding soil to boost healthier plant growth.
Humic Acid
Lack of nutrients, drought, and poor seed germination are all major threats to your plant’s health. By adding humic acid to the soil, you can help prevent all of these! Humic acid supports improved nutrient uptake, healthier roots, and increases your plant’s tolerance to droughts.
Storage
To ensure maximum shelf life, store in a dry place that is between 40 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid keeping your Myco Chum in an environment with temperatures that exceed 140F.
Safety
Remember, Myco Chum is for plants, not people! After using Myco Chum, be sure to wash your hands with soap and warm water. Avoid inhalation and eye contact with this product, and do not ingest or swallow it.
Technical
"Myco"-"rhiza" literally means fungus root and describes the symbiotic relationship between host plants and mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizae are a specialized fungus that colonize a plant’s root structure and enhances its reach to much farther into the soil substrate for available resources. Mycorrhizae are truly an extension of the root system and are more effective at absorbing nutrients and water than plant roots alone.
More than 95% of plant species form this symbiotic relationship with these beneficial soil fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi increase the surface absorbing area of roots up to 700 times, improving a host plant’s ability to access and utilize the soil resources. Mycorrhizae enhance nutrient uptake by increasing the absorption area of the root mass.
Mycorrhizae release enzymes into the soil that dissolve locked up nutrients, such as phosphorus, iron, and other tightly bound soil nutrients. This process of accessing locked up nutrients is very important and explains why non-mycorrhizal plants require high levels of fertility. Mycorrhizal fungi form an intricate web that captures and assimilates nutrients, which helps conserve nutrients in the soil.
Mycorrhizal Fungi Benefits
- Enhanced nutrient and water uptake
- Enhanced root growth
- Enhanced yields
- Improved tolerance of drought stress
- Improved tolerance to transplant shock
