Megafauna: The Most Efficient Mycorrhizal Product for Cannabis Cultivators

Writer's picture: Kaiju NutrientsKaiju Nutrients

Cannabis growers know that healthy roots are the foundation of thriving plants. In a fast-paced 12-week growth cycle, every decision matters. Enter Megafauna, a groundbreaking product that combines mycorrhizal fungi, Bacillus species, and a unique blend of carbon, amino acids, and carbohydrates to deliver unmatched root health and plant vitality. But what makes Megafauna so efficient, and why is it the best choice for both soil and coco cultivators? Let’s dive into the science and synergy behind this powerhouse product.

What is Megafauna?

Megafauna is a next-generation microbial inoculant designed to supercharge plant growth. It contains:

  1. Mycorrhizal Fungi: These beneficial fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, extending their reach through a network of hyphae to absorb water and nutrients like phosphorus more efficiently.

    • Spore Count: Each gram of Megafauna contains 220 propagules (2,200 infective particles per gram), ensuring robust colonization. While counts above 120 propagules per gram typically yield diminishing returns, Megafauna’s higher count ensures rapid establishment even in suboptimal conditions.

  2. Bacillus Species: Fast-acting beneficial bacteria that improve nutrient availability, enhance root zone health, and protect against pathogens.

    • Concentration: With an impressive 2.8 billion Bacillus organisms per gram, Megafauna provides unmatched bacterial activity to support plant growth from day one.

  3. Supporting Ingredients: A carefully formulated mix of carbon, amino acids, and carbohydrates to fuel microbial activity and accelerate colonization.

With this trifecta of powerful ingredients, Megafauna works across all growing mediums, delivering superior results in both soil and coco.


How Does Megafauna Work?


Mycorrhizal Fungi: Nature’s Root Extenders

  • Function: Mycorrhizal fungi form an extended root system, known as a mycorrhizal network, that increases the plant’s access to nutrients and water. This symbiosis is particularly effective for phosphorus uptake—a critical nutrient for cannabis growth.

  • Optimal Propagule Count: While most products aim for 80–120 propagules per gram, Megafauna goes further with 220 propagules, ensuring even fast-growing plants benefit from the fungi’s nutrient-harnessing abilities. This higher count guarantees effective colonization in challenging conditions, but it’s important to note that additional propagules beyond this count typically do not provide additional benefits once roots are fully colonized.


Bacillus Species: The Fast-Track Microbial Champions

  • Function: Bacillus bacteria release enzymes that break down organic matter, solubilize nutrients, and protect roots from harmful pathogens by inducing systemic acquired resistance.

  • Synergy with Mycorrhizae: While mycorrhizal fungi take time to establish (typically 4-6 weeks), Bacillus species activate immediately, preparing the root zone and creating an ideal environment for fungal colonization.

  • Concentration: Megafauna’s 2.8 billion Bacillus organisms per gram deliver unmatched efficiency in nutrient cycling and pathogen defense, making it one of the most potent inoculants available.


Carbon, Amino Acids, and Carbohydrates: The Energy Boosters

  • These components provide immediate energy for microbes, accelerating their establishment and activity. The carbon fuels microbial respiration, while amino acids and carbohydrates support protein synthesis and metabolic processes.


Why is Megafauna So Efficient?

1. Speed of Action

  • In a cannabis growth cycle as short as 12 weeks, timing is everything. Mycorrhizal fungi typically take 4-6 weeks to fully establish, but Megafauna’s Bacillus species and supporting ingredients bridge the gap by activating immediately and also priming the medium for fast efficient colonization by mycorrhizae.

  • This means you’re not waiting for benefits—your plants start seeing results from day one.

2. Synergy of Microbes

  • Many products rely solely on mycorrhizal fungi or Trichoderma, which can compete with fungi for resources. Megafauna’s Bacillus species work in harmony with mycorrhizae, creating a synergistic environment that enhances nutrient cycling and root colonization without competition.

3. Versatility Across Mediums

  • Megafauna is formulated to work equally well in soil and coco mediums. In soil, it enhances microbial diversity and nutrient availability. In coco, an inert medium, it establishes a thriving microbial ecosystem, compensating for the lack of organic matter.

4. Enhanced Nutrient Uptake

  • By combining mycorrhizal fungi’s ability to transport nutrients with Bacillus species’ nutrient-solubilizing power, Megafauna ensures plants receive a steady supply of essential elements like phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium.

5. Reduced Inputs, Maximum Results

  • The efficiency of Megafauna’s microbial blend means growers can potentially reduce the need for additional fertilizers while still achieving higher yields and healthier plants. This saves time, money, and effort—a win for any cultivator.

How to Use Megafauna

  1. Application:

    • Mix Megafauna directly into the planting medium or water it into the root zone.

    • Suitable for use at all growth stages, from seedlings to flowering.

  2. Dosage:

    • Follow the recommended application rates for your specific medium and growth stage.

  3. Compatibility:

    • Works seamlessly with chemical and organic nutrient regimens.


Why Cannabis Cultivators Choose Megafauna

Backed by Science and tested by forum growers

  • Research shows that combining mycorrhizal fungi with Bacillus species and supporting nutrients enhances microbial activity, plant nutrient uptake, and overall growth rates. Megafauna brings this research to life in an easy-to-use, highly effective product.

  • Tested by old school forum growers. We all know a forum guy who's been growing for a couple of decades. They've seen snake oil salesman come and go, and know exactly how to put products through their paces thoroughly. If you want to ensure a product does exactly what it says it does, give it to the old forum heads to test. We did and Megafauna surprised them by giving them something that truly performs.


The Megafauna Difference

In the competitive world of cannabis cultivation, Megafauna stands out as the most efficient mycorrhizal product on the market. Its unique blend of mycorrhizal fungi, Bacillus species, and targeted nutrients creates an unparalleled synergy that ensures fast, robust, and consistent results in any growing medium. Whether you’re a soil purist or a coco enthusiast, Megafauna is your key to unlocking the full potential of your plants.
