What is Mammoth P and what does it do?
Mammoth P is a microbial inoculant that improves phosphorus and micronutrient availability in the root zone. It helps plants access locked-up nutrients, leading to stronger growth, better flowering, and more efficient feeding. It doesn’t replace fertiliser but boosts what’s already in your system.
Can I use Mammoth P in all growth stages?
Yes—Mammoth P can be used from seedling through bloom. Starting early helps roots form stronger microbial relationships before heavy feeding begins, and it supports nutrient efficiency throughout the plant’s life cycle.
Is Mammoth P suitable for soil, coco, and hydro?
Yes—Mammoth P works in soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems. It's used in drain-to-waste, DWC, RDWC, and irrigation setups. Just maintain good system hygiene and avoid letting reservoirs sit stagnant.
How much Mammoth P should I use and how often?
The common rate is 0.16 mL per litre (or 0.6 mL per gallon). Apply weekly or use a low-dose every feed in hydro. If you see signs of overfeeding when using strong PK boosters, scale back slightly.
When should I add Mammoth P to my nutrient mix?
Add Mammoth P after mixing your base nutrients and adjusting pH. If you’re using silica, mix it first, then nutrients, then Mammoth P. Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure even dosing.
Can Mammoth P be used with other additives or microbes?
Yes—Mammoth P plays well with most nutrients, beneficials, cal-mag, and compost teas. Just avoid overloading the tank with too many products at once, especially if you're troubleshooting.
Can I use Mammoth P with sterilising agents or chlorinated water?
No—avoid using Mammoth P at the same time as hydrogen peroxide, strong fungicides, or heavily chlorinated water. These can reduce microbial performance. Use dechlorinated water and separate timing when needed.
Does Mammoth P replace a bloom booster?
Not directly. It enhances nutrient uptake, which can reduce the need for aggressive bloom additives. If you’re using heavy PK products, monitor for signs of overfeeding and adjust accordingly.
How can I tell if Mammoth P is working?
Signs include stronger plant growth, better flower/fruit set, improved feeding response, and fewer nutrient lockout issues when your pH and watering are consistent. Effects usually show within 1–3 weeks.
How should I store Mammoth P?
Store Mammoth P sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid leaving it open for long periods or storing it in hot sheds. For best results, use within months of opening.
Is Mammoth P safe for food crops, pets, and people?
Yes—Mammoth P is commonly used in edible gardens and is safe when handled properly. Avoid ingestion, wash hands after use, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
