What is House & Garden MultiZyme and what does it do?
House & Garden MultiZyme is an enzyme-based additive that breaks down dead roots and organic matter in the root zone. This helps reduce buildup, improve nutrient uptake, and support healthier, faster-growing plants. It’s not a base nutrient—it enhances the efficiency of your existing feed program.
When should I use House & Garden MultiZyme?
You can run MultiZyme throughout veg and flower. It’s especially useful during fast growth or when root health matters most. It’s also safe at low doses for established seedlings and clones. Use it consistently—it's a maintenance tool, not a quick fix.
How much House & Garden MultiZyme should I use?
The standard rate is 1 mL per litre of water or nutrient solution. That’s 10 mL for a 10L mix, or 20 mL in 20L. Stick to the recommended rate—more isn’t better. Overdosing won’t solve problems faster and may unbalance your feed.
Is House & Garden MultiZyme compatible with hydro, coco, and soil?
Yes—MultiZyme works well in hydroponics, coco coir, and soil. It also performs in bottom-fed systems and recirculating reservoirs, as long as your water is cool, oxygenated, and the system is clean and maintained.
Can House & Garden MultiZyme help with root rot or salt buildup?
It can help break down decaying roots and organic waste, reducing the risk of rot and easing salt buildup. However, it won’t fix deeper issues like warm water, low oxygen, or overfeeding—you still need to fix the root cause.
Can House & Garden MultiZyme replace flushing or clean media after harvest?
No. It supports cleaner root zones but doesn’t replace proper flushing. It can help break down residual roots in used media, but full reset depends on your growing method and hygiene practices.
Will House & Garden MultiZyme affect pH or EC?
It may slightly shift pH or add a bit to EC, but it’s not a major driver. Always check your final tank after mixing. Add MultiZyme after nutrients and before adjusting pH for the most accurate results.
Will House & Garden MultiZyme clog drippers or cause slime?
It typically won’t clog lines or create slime if used correctly in a clean, well-aerated system. If slime appears, look at res temps, oxygen levels, and maintenance—not just the additive.
Can I use House & Garden MultiZyme with microbes, organics, or sterilizers?
Yes—with caution. It pairs well with beneficial microbes, but sterilizers like peroxide can reduce its effectiveness. Avoid stacking it with other enzyme products or running mixed “living vs sterile” programs.
What are signs I should be using MultiZyme more consistently?
If you see slow growth, brown roots, rising runoff EC, or a funky smell in the medium, enzymes can help. If your feed looks good but plants seem blocked, root-zone buildup could be the issue.
What’s the best way to avoid overcomplicating MultiZyme use?
Don’t stack multiple enzyme products, sterilizers, and root stimulants unless you know what each one does. If plants look worse with more inputs, simplify your routine. Enzymes work best in clean, stable systems.
Should I shake House & Garden MultiZyme before using it?
Yes—always shake well before measuring. This ensures even distribution of active ingredients and consistent performance in your mix.
How should I store House & Garden MultiZyme?
Keep the bottle sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid freezing, and don’t store it in a hot grow room or shed. Proper storage keeps the enzymes effective over time.
What sizes does House & Garden MultiZyme come in, and which should I get?
It’s available in 250 mL, 500 mL, 1L, 5L, and larger. For hobby growers, even 250 mL lasts a while at 1 mL/L. For larger grows or multiple cycles, 1L or 5L usually offers better long-term value.
What’s the simplest way to use House & Garden MultiZyme?
Run it at 1 mL/L from veg through flower, mix it after nutrients, pH last, and don’t stack multiple enzyme or cleaning products. Focus on clean systems, good oxygen, stable pH/EC, and consistent feeding.
