Biotabs Orcatrex 1l
Biotabs Orcatrex 1 litre — organic liquid fertiliser NPK 5-1-5 with full trace element profile
Slow-release tablets provide the nutritional baseline in any Biotabs grow, but they operate on biological timescales that cannot respond to acute demand spikes. Biotabs Orcatrex bridges this gap as the system's liquid nutrition component, delivering an NPK 5-1-5 formulation plus a comprehensive trace element profile at every irrigation. The 1-litre format is the standard size in the Biotabs product line, yielding up to 500 litres of nutrient solution at standard dilution rates.
Formulation analysis and ingredient functions
Every ingredient in Orcatrex has been selected for both its direct nutritional value and its contribution to soil biology:
- Alfalfa meal — provides organic nitrogen, amino acids and triacontanol, a naturally occurring growth regulator that stimulates cell division
- Mixed molasses — supplies simple sugars that serve as a direct carbon source for beneficial soil microorganisms, driving microbial metabolism and nutrient cycling
- Potash vinasse — delivers readily available potassium, critical for flower development and sugar transport within the plant
- Silicon oxide and rock dust — release a balanced spectrum of trace elements (Zn, Cu, Ca, Mn, Mg, S, Si, Fe) that support enzymatic processes and structural integrity
Dosing protocol by growth stage
Orcatrex follows a stage-specific dosing schedule that aligns with changing plant requirements. At transplant, irrigate with 5 ml per litre to support root establishment. In week five, apply a single dose of 20 ml per litre to drive the flowering transition. The maintenance rate throughout the remainder of the cycle is 2 ml per litre at every watering. At this standard rate, 1 litre of concentrate produces 500 litres of nutrient solution — sufficient for an entire growing season in most setups.
Prepared solution remains stable for a maximum of 48 hours. Store the bottle in a cool, dark location and shake thoroughly before each use, as organic components settle.
Feeding the soil microbiome
Orcatrex's value extends beyond direct plant nutrition. The sugars and trace elements in the formulation function as a metabolic substrate for the soil microbiome. By feeding the beneficial bacteria from Bactrex and the mycorrhizal network established by Mycotrex, Orcatrex amplifies biological activity in the root zone. This enhanced microbial metabolism improves the conversion rate of all organic matter in the substrate — including the nutrients released from BioTabs fertiliser tablets — into plant-available forms.

What is the standard dosing rate for Biotabs Orcatrex?
The standard maintenance rate is 2 ml per litre of water, applied at every irrigation throughout the growth and flowering cycles. At transplant, use 5 ml per litre. In week five, apply a single dose of 20 ml per litre to support the flowering transition.
Can Orcatrex be used during the flowering cycle?
Orcatrex is formulated for both vegetative and flowering stages. The NPK 5-1-5 ratio provides substantial potassium to support flower development, while the nitrogen and trace element profile maintains overall plant vigour throughout the flowering period.
How many litres of nutrient solution does 1 litre of Orcatrex yield?
At the standard 2 ml/L maintenance rate, 1 litre of Orcatrex produces 500 litres of nutrient solution. At the 5 ml/L transplant rate, the yield is 200 litres of solution.
Is Biotabs Orcatrex vegan?
Orcatrex is certified 100% vegan and contains no animal-derived components. The formulation is based entirely on plant and mineral ingredients: alfalfa meal, molasses, potash vinasse, silicon oxide and rock dust.
