Consistency of color in ACF 32 / SR / PAC
As backed by independent tests, our ACF bacterial products are the most potent, most powerful live bacterial products
available. The ACF product line includes aerobic, anaerobic, nitrifying, and photosynthetic (PNSB) bacterial strains. Our ACF
Products are superior to competing products in all of the following ways:
ACF PRODUCTS BACTERIAL CONCENTRATION COMPARED TO LEADING COMPETITOR
5 times the heterotrophic bacterial count compared to the competition
ACF bacterial products contain not less than 1 x 10^7 live heterotrophic bacteria per ml, which is 10 times the value of the
leading competitor
5 times the anaerobic bacterial count compared to the competition
ACF bacterial products contain not less than 5 x 10^6 live anaerobic bacteria per ml, which is 5 times the value of the
leading competitor
5 times the heterotrophic bacterial count compared to the competition
ACF bacterial products contain not less than 1 x 10^7 live photosynthetic bacteria per ml, which is 5 times the value of the
leading competitor
ACF products from Blue Planet Labs include nitrifying bacteria,
which are not included in the competition’s core products
Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia into nitrate, which is a superior nitrogen source for plants. ACF products include not
less than 1 x 10^7 live nitrifying bacteria per ml. This provides a significant extra advantage to the ACF line compared to
competing products
COLOR OF THE ACF PRODUCT LINE COMPARED TO THE LEADING COMPETITOR
Standard color of the ACF products compared to the variable color of the leading competitor
ACF bacterial are rigorously tested for proper microbial population balance, thereby ensuring powerful, predictable, and
reproducible field results. Note that the natural biomass color of the heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria is an amber
color. In contrast with competing products, in which the majority of the colored bacterial colonies are of the PNSB (purple,
non-sulfur bacteria) type and the primary color is distinctly reddish purple. Our ACF line has an equal or higher count of
PNSB, but also has a much larger quantity of heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria in the product.
Our product color is amber with a reddish tint. So do not be fooled by color comparisons with competing products. Our
ACF products contain equal or higher count of PNSB than the competition. Remember that the vast numbers of
heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria (which comprise 66% or more of the ACF line) are colored amber. Therefore, the final
blended color of ACF products is amber with a red tint, resulting from the inclusion of high numbers of amber-colored
heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria, which due to the huge numbers present, largely mask the purple color of the PNSB.
The bottom line of higher bacteria concentration and diversity produces consistency in color
You can depend on ACF Products consistent in color, as a result of the higher concentration of the bacteria species in the
ACF line. Our more complete, more concentrated blend of bacteria outperforms the competition, and will look the same
from batch to batch. (NOTE: if left in the sun, the reddish/purple color of the ACF product will intensify)
