Hygrozyme 5X Concentrate 20 L | 5,000 U/mL Cellulase, No Bacteria

The Numbers Behind Hygrozyme Concentrate 5X Enzyme products are usually sold on adjectives, and this one has measured figures behind it. There are four enzymes and each has a declared activity. Cellulase runs at 5,000 U/mL, which is the one doing most of the work on dead root material. Xylanase is at 500 U/mL and hemicellulase at 375 U/mL, both working on the hemicellulose fraction. Beta-glucanase sits at 200 U/mL to finish the job. Those are the numbers to put beside a competitor's bottle, and they are far more use than any claim about breakthroughs. Two things this product is not. It is not a fertiliser, and it carries no guaranteed analysis or N-P-K, because enzymes are not plant nutrients. It is also not OMRI certified, which matters if the operation is certified organic. What it does contain is zero live bacteria. An enzyme only formula breaks down root matter without putting a microbial culture into a sterile system. For a grower running a clean recirculating setup that is the difference between a product they can use and one they cannot. The bottle holds 20 L, which is 5.28 gal, and it weighs 48.5 lbs full. Getting Commercial Enzyme Dosing Right on This Bottle The dose is 0.4 to 0.5 mL per litre of water, which is about 1.5 to 1.9 mL per gallon. The concentration itself is simple. This is five times the strength of the original formula, so the twenty litre bottle is equivalent to a hundred litres of it. A hundred litres is twenty six and a half US gallons, or twenty two imperial. Enzyme activity falls with heat and with light over time. Keep it cool, keep it dark and keep it sealed. The formula is compatible with nutrient and supplement programmes and with any growing medium. Key Features Cellulase at 5,000 U/mL: The enzyme doing most of the work. Three more enzymes with figures: Xylanase 500, hemicellulase 375 and beta-glucanase 200 U/mL. No live bacteria: So nothing microbial is added to a clean recirculating system. Five times the original strength: The 20 L bottle is equivalent to a hundred litres of the original. Dose: 0.4 to 0.5 mL per litre, about 1.5 to 1.9 mL per gallon Not OMRI certified: Which matters to a certified organic operation. No guaranteed analysis: It is an enzyme formula, not a fertiliser, so there is no N-P-K. 48.5 lbs full: In a 20 L bottle, which is 5.28 gal.
