016 Oxygen Boosting

What is 016 Oxygen Boosting and what does it do?

016 Oxygen Boosting is a pH-neutral root-zone additive that delivers stabilized oxygen to support root health, nutrient uptake, and overall plant vigor. Unlike hydrogen peroxide, it's gentler on plants and microbes, and doesn’t fizz off quickly. Growers use it to promote faster growth, stronger roots, and cleaner conditions—especially in stressful environments.

Can I use 016 Oxygen Boosting in soil, coco, or hydro systems?

Yes—016 Oxygen Boosting works across soil, coco, and all hydroponic systems. It's microbe-friendly and compatible with most nutrient lines, beneficials, and enzymes. You can also use it with air stones or in sterile setups—just avoid mixing opposing methods (sterile vs living).

When should I use 016 Oxygen Boosting for root health?

Use it during transplant shock, warm water conditions, root stress, or any signs of droop, slowed growth, algae, or slime. It’s not a fungicide, but it supports healthier root-zone conditions that discourage pathogens like pythium or anaerobic bacteria.

How do I dose 016 Oxygen Boosting and how often?

For hand watering or reservoirs, start with 1–10 mL per litre depending on plant size and medium. Repeat every 3 days. Start low and only increase if needed. Daily use is usually unnecessary unless you're solving an acute issue.

How do I mix 016 Oxygen Boosting with my nutrients?

Add 016 Oxygen Boosting after your nutrients and other additives, then adjust pH last. It doesn’t significantly raise EC or shift pH on its own, but always measure after mixing. Yes, you can add it to an existing reservoir—just stir or recirculate well.

How do I use 016 Oxygen Boosting as a foliar spray?

Mix 20 mL per litre of filtered water. Spray once a week when lights are off or dim (early morning or late afternoon). Avoid buds during flowering, and don’t mix with other sprays unless compatibility is tested. It may support mildew prevention but isn’t a standalone cure.

How should I store 016 Oxygen Boosting?

Keep it sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight. Don’t freeze or overheat. Mixed foliar spray should be remade weekly. If the product smells off or develops chunky sediment, discard it. For accuracy, use a syringe or proper measuring tool—not guesswork.

Can I leave 016 Oxygen Boosting in a reservoir for multiple days?

Yes, but store your reservoir cool, dark, and aerated. Check pH regularly. While 016 supports oxygen levels, it doesn’t replace temperature control or cleanliness—warm, dirty tanks still cause problems.

What are the most common mistakes when using 016 Oxygen Boosting?

Relying on it to fix deeper problems like poor aeration or warm water, using hard water in foliar sprays, mixing it sloppily with incompatible products, or overdosing unnecessarily. Keep your setup clean and simple for best results.
