Cultured Solutions UC Roots
Cultured Solutions ® UC ROOTS is a versatile root zone optimizer specially formulated to decrease mineral deposits, combat harmful biofilms, and foster root development in hydroponic systems, substrate, and irrigation equipment. It’s your perfect ally for all hydroponics applications including DWC/RDWC, Rockwool, NFT, Ebb/Flow, Drip, and substrate-based Re-circulating or Drain to Waste systems.
Regular Treatment
For maintaining a healthy hydroponics system or reservoir, mix 2-5mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of nutrient solution every 3-5 days if nutrient temperatures are below 68 °F or every 1-3 days if they exceed 76 °F.
Periodic Flush
Aid in the removal of excess minerals by adding 5-10mL of UC ROOTS per gallon of nutrient solution during routine flushing.

Edward Wallace –
I’ve used UC Roots in my NFT system for three months now. The roots are stronger and the water clarity has improved significantly. I no longer see white film buildup in my reservoir. It’s a simple addition to my routine and works well with my existing nutrients.
Diane Hamilton –
Used it in a DWC setup with high temperatures. The dosage adjustment based on temperature worked well. The system stayed cleaner and the plants showed better root development after a few weeks.
Pippa Lambert –
Switched from a generic root enhancer to UC Roots and noticed less mineral clogging in my drip lines. The instructions are clear and the product mixes easily into the nutrient solution.
Rose Hudson –
Good for periodic flushing. I added it during a deep clean and the water turned clearer. No issues with plant growth or nutrient balance after using it.
Carolyn Brown –
Used in a substrate-based system and saw better root penetration. The biofilm issue I had before was almost completely gone. Works well with my current nutrient regimen.
