Testing at Plant Doctor 405

Most growers only see the plant, but we see the entire biological system. At Plant Doctor 405, we put your environment through a rigorous forensic audit to eliminate the guesswork that kills.

1. The Foundation: Physical Soil AuditWe start by getting our hands dirty to understand your soil's physical soul. Through the Micro Texture Test and the Ribbon Test, we determine your sand-to-clay ratio to predict drainage and root health. We even perform a Visual Debris Audit—using precision tools to identify hidden wood, plastic, or clay that could be choking your plants.

2. The Chemistry: Nutrient & pH PrecisionNext, we move to the liquid lab. Using advanced Digital TDS/EC meters and Slurry NPK Tests, we pinpoint exactly what nutrients are available and what are locked away. We don’t just check for "food"; we check the "delivery system" by measuring water quality through Hardness Titration and the Soap Film Test to ensure hard water isn't sabotaging your efforts.

3. The Protection: Water & Microbiome SafetyIs your water a "Microbiome Killer"? Our Chlorine Check ensures your irrigation isn't accidentally sterilizing the beneficial life in your soil. We verify that every drop of water supports life rather than ending it.

4. The Bio-Defense: Pathogen & Herbicide ScreeningFinally, we run live biological trials. Our Root-Pathogen Baiting uses organic indicators to sniff out rot and disease before they reach your crop. We conclude with a Herbicide Bioassay, using sensitive radish indicators to ensure no toxic residues are present to stunt or deform your growth.

We don't just "check" your plants—we prove they have what they need to thrive.
