Adding Biocast is like giving your plant a dose of Nature.
The more modified the growing environment, the more likely you are to see results straight away. What our customers have found, is that benefits in more natural settings will be witnessed over time, and be most obvious when the plant is facing tough conditions, such as hot, dry weather.
