CYCO Zyme – 5 Liter

CYCO Zyme is an enzyme-based additive from the Cyco Platinum Series, formulated to support plant growth in hydroponic systems and soil-free media such as coco peat. This 5 Liter bottle is suited to commercial-scale cultivation where consistent enzyme activity in the root zone matters across multiple reservoirs or feeding cycles.

Why Choose CYCO Zyme

CYCO Zyme is designed to support the enzymatic processes in the root zone that keep hydroponic and coco peat systems running efficiently. Here is what distinguishes it from generic nutrient additives:

• Platinum Series formulation: CYCO Zyme is part of Cyco’s Platinum Series, a line developed for use in soil-free growing environments where microbial support and root-zone cleanliness are essential to consistent plant performance.
• Engineered for hydroponic and coco peat systems: Unlike broad-spectrum organic additives, CYCO Zyme is explicitly formulated for use in recirculating hydroponic systems and coco peat substrates — media types where dead root matter and organic debris can accumulate and affect dissolved oxygen and EC stability.
• 5 Liter volume for production scale: At 5 liters, this bottle suits commercial grows and multi-room facilities where purchasing smaller bottles would create frequent reordering overhead. The larger volume reduces per-dose cost compared to the 1 liter SKU.
• Additive category, not a base nutrient: CYCO Zyme works alongside your existing base nutrient schedule. It targets the root-zone environment specifically, meaning it can be integrated without replacing or significantly adjusting your current feed program.

Best Uses for CYCO Zyme

CYCO Zyme fits into growing programs where maintaining a clean root zone and active enzymatic breakdown of organic material is a priority. Typical use cases include:

• Recirculating hydroponic systems (DWC, NFT, ebb and flow): Enzyme activity in a recirculating reservoir helps break down dead root matter before it can accumulate and create anaerobic conditions or block irrigation lines.
• Coco peat grows: Coco coir retains moisture and can accumulate organic debris over a grow cycle. Enzyme additives like CYCO Zyme help maintain open pore structure and prevent salt and organic buildup in the substrate.
• High-density commercial cultivation: In facilities running multiple reservoirs or large-scale coco systems, maintaining root-zone health across all stations is more manageable with a liquid enzyme product dosed consistently at each reservoir fill.
• Transition and flush periods: Enzyme additives are frequently used during late-cycle flushing stages to help break down accumulated organic residue in the root zone before harvest or between crop cycles.
• Preventive root-zone maintenance: Adding CYCO Zyme to the feed schedule from early vegetative growth onward supports a clean root zone throughout the crop cycle rather than addressing problems reactively.

If you are running a program that also includes root inoculants, consider pairing CYCO Zyme with a root-stimulator product. For a complementary biological root additive, see Advanced Nutrients Tarantula, a microbial inoculant in the same Nutrients & Additives category. For a broad-spectrum organic plant health additive, PureCrop1 is another option growers use alongside enzyme products in coco and hydro systems.

Usage Guidelines

CYCO Zyme is a liquid concentrate to be added to the reservoir or coco feed solution. As a Platinum Series additive, it is intended to be used alongside CYCO base nutrients rather than as a standalone feed. General guidance for enzyme additives in hydroponic and coco systems:

• Shake the bottle before each use to ensure even distribution of the concentrate.
• Measure the dose per liter or gallon according to the rate published on the product label. Do not exceed the label rate — enzyme additives are effective at low concentrations and overdosing does not increase benefit.
• Add CYCO Zyme to your reservoir after mixing your base nutrients. Check that the solution pH remains within the target range for your crop (typically 5.5–6.2 for hydroponic systems).
• Apply from the early vegetative stage through the end of the flowering cycle. Some growers continue enzyme application into the flush period to assist with root-zone cleanup prior to harvest.
• Store the concentrate in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight. Enzyme products can degrade at elevated temperatures, which reduces efficacy over time.

Consult the CYCO Platinum Series feed chart published on the manufacturer’s website for specific dose rates and scheduling in conjunction with other Platinum Series products.
