FoxFarm Bush Doctor Microbe Brew 1-0.3-0.2

Build a biologically active root zone with FoxFarm Bush Doctor Microbe Brew. This liquid plant food and microbial inoculant combines gentle nutrition with beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria and yeast formulated to encourage microbial colonization around plant roots.

Microbe Brew helps plants achieve enhanced root efficiency and nutrient uptake throughout vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting. Its 1-0.3-0.2 nutrient analysis also supplies iron, manganese and zinc while organic ingredients such as earthworm castings, guanos and molasses help create a nutrient-rich root-zone environment.

Suitable for ornamental flowers, vegetables, evergreens and trees, Microbe Brew can be used in soil, container gardens and recirculating hydroponic systems.

Key benefits:

• Encourages microbial colonization around the root zone
• Helps support enhanced root efficiency and nutrient uptake
• Contains seven species of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi
• Contains ten bacterial species plus Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast
• Provides gentle macro and micronutrient nutrition
• Supplies supplemental iron, manganese and zinc
• Suitable for vegetative and flowering growth through harvest
• Works in soil, containers and recirculating hydroponics
• Compatible with FoxFarm fertilizers and other nutrient programs

Guaranteed analysis:

• Total Nitrogen: 1.00%
• Available Phosphate: 0.30%
• Soluble Potash: 0.20%
• Iron: 0.10%
• Manganese: 0.60%
• Zinc: 0.30%

Derived from:

Earthworm castings, bat guano, seabird guano, manganese sulfate, zinc sulfate, soy protein hydrolysate, sulfate of potash magnesia, rock phosphate and molasses.

How to use:

In-ground gardens and container plantings:

Mix 2 teaspoons (10 mL) per gallon of fresh water. Thoroughly drench the soil or growing medium. Apply every other week throughout the vegetative and flowering cycles until harvest.

Recirculating hydroponic systems:

Mix ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) per gallon of fresh reservoir water. Use with FoxFarm fertilizers or another suitable nutrient regimen. Flush the hydroponic system every two weeks.

Shake well before use. For maximum microbial activity, store in a cool location away from direct sunlight and use within two years of the manufacturer’s stamped date.

Using Microbe Brew with other FoxFarm products:

Microbe Brew is a microbial supplement with gentle nutrition, not a complete base fertilizer. Use it alongside an appropriately balanced feeding program.

• Big Bloom: Provides organic-based nutrition that complements Microbe Brew throughout vegetative and flowering growth.
• Grow Big: Supplies the stronger nitrogen and mineral nutrition needed during vegetative development, while Microbe Brew supports biological activity around the roots.
• Tiger Bloom: Provides bloom-focused nutrition while Microbe Brew continues supporting the root zone through flowering and harvest.
• Kangaroots: Both products contain beneficial microbes, but Kangaroots is positioned as a root drench for enhancing root efficiency, especially during earlier development. Microbe Brew provides a broader microbial and nutritional blend throughout the entire lifecycle. Follow the FoxFarm schedule when using both.
• Kelp Me Kelp You: Adds seaweed-derived vegetative nutrition until the first sign of bud development, while Microbe Brew can continue through flowering.
• Bembé: Supplies carbohydrate-rich bloom nutrition that may be incorporated during flowering alongside Microbe Brew according to the FoxFarm schedule.
• Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching: These concentrated bloom supplements are used sequentially during flowering. Follow the feeding schedule and monitor plant response rather than assuming additional phosphorus is always needed.
• Boomerang: During a hydroponic Boomerang recovery treatment, pause Microbe Brew because FoxFarm directs growers to use Boomerang without other fertilizers for the first two to three days.
• SledgeHammer: Use separately as a root-zone rinse during scheduled flushing. Refill the system with fresh water before resuming Microbe Brew and the regular nutrient program.
• Coco Loco, Happy Frog and Ocean Forest: Microbe Brew can supplement the biological activity of these amended FoxFarm growing media once regular feeding begins.

When combining FoxFarm products, start with fresh water, add each product separately and follow the appropriate FoxFarm feeding schedule.
