It increases dissolved oxygen, suppresses anaerobic pathogens, and optimises plant performance at a cellular level — without harsh chemistry, synthetic inputs, or harmful residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn any growing system, dissolved oxygen (DO) directly controls root health, nutrient uptake, and disease resistance. When oxygen is limited, root respiration slows, nutrient uptake becomes inefficient, and anaerobic pathogens like Pythium proliferate. O16 addresses this at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStabilised Oxygen Delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e — Produced via electrochemical activation, O16 forms a neutral anolyte solution rich in dissolved O₂, allowing oxygen to remain stable and bioavailable longer than standard aeration alone. Result: sustained oxygen availability where roots need it most.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoot Respiration \u0026amp; ATP Production\u003c\/strong\u003e — Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration, which produces ATP — the energy currency driving nutrient uptake, root growth, and cellular repair.

Always add additives to water rather than directly to concentrated nutrient solutions. Stir well after each addition and check EC and pH before use. Start at the lower end of the recommended dose range and increase progressively — additives are potent and more is not always better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs O16 Stabilised Oxygen compatible with organic and mineral nutrient programs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO16 Stabilised Oxygen is compatible with most hydroponic nutrient programs including both mineral and organic-based systems. If running a fully organic or biological program, check the formulation — some mineral additives can inhibit beneficial microbial populations. When in doubt, contact us at hello@apexgrow.com.au for compatibility advice specific to your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use O16 Stabilised Oxygen in soil, coco, and hydro?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — O16 Stabilised Oxygen is suitable for use across all growing mediums including soil, coco coir, perlite, rockwool, and all recirculating and run-to-waste hydroponic systems. Dose rates may vary slightly between growing systems — always follow the manufacturer's feeding chart for your specific medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes O16 Stabilised Oxygen ship fast within Australia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — O16 Stabilised Oxygen ships from our Australian warehouse with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide. Most east coast orders arrive within 2–5 business days. WA, NT, and TAS orders typically arrive within 5–12 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liquid Science","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":43145821323327,"sku":"NSWDO16-1L","price":44.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5L","offer_id":43341206519871,"sku":"NSWDO16-5L","price":160.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20L","offer_id":43341206552639,"sku":"NSWDO16-20L","price":594.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/6898\/8479\/files\/016_1000x1000_Grey-copy-16.png?v=1776672089","url":"https:\/\/apexgrow.com.au\/products\/o16-stabilized-oxygen-plant-booster","provider":"Apex Grow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
