Engineered seed-starting mix with bioCHARGE biology for faster germination and stronger transplants
bio365 BIOSTART is a propagation-specific blend of fine peat, coco coir, and perlite built on the same bioCHARGE platform as BIOFLOWER and BIOALL. The fine particle size maximizes seed-to-soil contact for high germination rates, while the dual biochemical buffer gives you a wide margin of error on watering and feeding. Contains a light starter charge of organic nutrients (0.20-0.06-0.26) but is designed for growers who want to control their own feeding program. Made indoors in bio365's controlled-environment facility in Ithaca, NY, FSMA tested, pathogen-free, and ready to use straight from the bag.
- Outdoor composted, exposed to weather, pests, and pathogens
- Inconsistent texture bag to bag, clumps and dry pockets
- No biochar, no engineered biology
- Narrow pH tolerance, easy to over or under water
- May need rehydrating, sifting, or mixing before use
- Often too coarse for small seeds or propagation trays
- Made 100% indoors in a controlled-environment facility, FSMA tested, pathogen-free
- Consistent texture every bag, evenly hydrated, uncompressed
- bioCHARGE biology and bioCORE biochar create active microbial life
- Dual biochemical buffer gives a wide sweet spot on pH and watering
- Ready to use straight from the bag, no prep needed
- Fine particle size optimized for seed contact and propagation trays
Engineered for Germination
Fine peat and perlite particle size maximizes seed-to-soil contact. The texture flows evenly through propagation trays, cell inserts, and automated potting equipment including Ellepot machines.
Dual Biochemical Buffer
Two buffering systems work together to keep pH stable and forgive watering mistakes. New growers get a wide margin of error. Experienced growers get consistent, predictable results.
bioCHARGE Biology, Active from Day One
The same bioCORE biochar and microbial inoculant used in BIOFLOWER and BIOALL. Beneficial biology is pre-loaded and active in the bag, colonizing root zones as soon as seeds germinate.
Starter Charge, Not a Full Feed 0.20-0.06-0.26
Light organic nutrition gets seedlings going without risk of burning tender roots. Designed for growers who want to control their own feeding schedule from the start.
ultimateAIR Porosity
Engineered air-filled porosity throughout the mix prevents waterlogging and gives roots the oxygen they need to develop strong, fibrous systems before transplant.
Pathogen-Free, Bag to Bag Consistency
Every batch is made indoors in Ithaca, NY and FSMA tested before shipping. No outdoor composting, no weather exposure, no variability between bags.
Ingredients
Base: Sphagnum Peat Moss, Coconut Coir, Perlite, Softwood Biochar (bioCORE), Gypsum, Yucca
Derived From: Pasteurized Poultry Litter, Feather Meal, Dolomite, Bone Meal, Bone Char, Sulfate of Potash
How to use BIOSTART
Fill your trays or pots
BIOSTART is ready to use from the bag. Fill cell trays, small pots, or soil blocks. No rehydrating or sifting needed. The fine texture flows evenly into tight spaces.
Plant seeds or insert clones
Make a small hole or dibble and place your seed or cutting. Use a seed-starting mix like BIOSTART rather than seeding directly into a hot, fully amended soil, which can burn tender roots.
Water lightly and maintain moisture
The dual biochemical buffer makes overwatering harder to do than with standard peat mixes. Keep evenly moist, not saturated. The bioCHARGE biology activates with moisture.
Transplant into final medium
Once roots fill the cell or pot, transplant into BIOFLOWER for flowering, BIOALL for veg, or any soil or soilless medium you prefer.
