Product Overview
Monkey Juice is a concentrated beneficial bacteria inoculant containing Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis—two scientifically proven plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. These microorganisms colonize root zones, enhance nutrient availability, suppress pathogenic organisms, and improve plant stress tolerance through documented biological mechanisms.
Modern growing practices often eliminate beneficial microbial populations. Sterile media, treated water, and chemical fertilizers create root zones lacking the microbial partnerships plants evolved to depend upon. Monkey Juice restores these relationships, establishing beneficial bacteria that protect roots, solubilize locked-up nutrients, and improve overall plant health.
Key Benefits
- Bacillus subtilis produces antimicrobial compounds that suppress root pathogens
- Bacillus licheniformis breaks down organic matter and solubilizes phosphorus
- Both species trigger induced systemic resistance, priming plant immune responses
- Spore-forming bacteria ensure product stability without refrigeration
Ideal For
Growers wanting natural root protection and enhanced nutrient cycling. Particularly effective in soil and coco systems where organic matter supports bacterial proliferation. The Monkey Juice + Sticky Bandit combination accelerates colonization and amplifies beneficial effects.

How To Use
Monkey Juice
Contains Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis beneficial bacteria to enhance soil health, improve nutrient uptake, and increase plant resistance to disease and stress. Works with all grow mediums. Frequency: Use once per week.
- Mix in room temperature water (65-72°F / 18-22°C)
- CRITICAL: ALWAYS add Monkey Juice LAST after ALL other nutrients are mixed
- Frequency: Use once per week only (not every feeding)
- Use from seedling through late flowering (weeks 1-7)
- Can increase dosage during late veg and flowering for heavy feeding periods
- Stop using during ripen and flush weeks
- Enhances root health, nutrient uptake, and disease resistance
- Works synergistically with Sticky Bandit for optimal results
- For specific dosages and week-by-week schedule, see Feed Schedules section
💡 Pro Tip: Use once per week. ALWAYS add LAST after all other nutrients. Stop during ripen and flush weeks.
