How 5 Points Increased Yields by Up to 12% Using a Natural, Efficient Biostimulant Posted on April 28, 2025 | by Jeff Hayward About 5 Points: Leading the Way in High-Efficiency, High-Quality Cultivation 5 Points is a forward-thinking cultivation company known for operating at the intersection of quality and efficiency. In an industry where profitability hinges on precision and performance, they have established themselves as a model for how to grow smarter, not just bigger. With a lean, highly optimized cultivation facility and a relentless focus on research and development, 5 Points leads by example in balancing premium quality with cost-effective operations. The company’s production strategy is rooted in data-driven decision-making, rigorous testing protocols, and the use of precision input management. This approach has allowed the company to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving and highly saturated market by continually refining their nutrient programs to improve both yield and product consistency. The Challenge: Scaling Yield Without Compromising Quality or Profitability Today’s cultivation businesses are tasked with an impossible-seeming trifecta: increase yields, maintain or improve quality, and reduce costs. As the market grows more competitive, cultivators must deliver exceptional products at increasingly competitive prices. For 5 Points, staying ahead meant finding inputs that not only worked, but worked harder and smarter for every dollar spent. “No question—successfully navigating a business in this industry is becoming increasingly challenging. Competition has never been more fierce, and inefficiencies come at a high price.” With every input under scrutiny, their team knew that adding any new product to their tightly controlled operation would require undeniable, data-backed benefits. The team needed a solution that aligned with their ethos of efficiency, innovation, and quality; something that could enhance productivity without compromising on sustainability or cost. Two members of the production team at 5 Points. The Solution: A Rigorous R&D Trial of MIICROBIAL MASS PRO To evaluate new inputs, 5 Points relies on rigorous R&D protocols designed to eliminate guesswork. Their scientific, data-driven process ensures that only proven solutions become part of their production model.

Known for its natural formula and ease of use, MIICROBIAL MASS PRO was put through their meticulous testing protocols. The objective: determine whether it could increase yield without disrupting the facility’s efficiency or introducing unnecessary cost. In the trials, MIICROBIAL MASS PRO was applied biweekly in two different concentrations. The results would speak for themselves. The Results: A 12% Yield Increase and 20:1 ROI The outcomes from 5 Points’ R&D trials with MASS PRO were compelling. The product delivered measurable gains, with return on investment metrics that exceeded expectations: 6% yield increase in standard biweekly application compared to control plots. 12% yield increase when the application rate was doubled. +4 grams per square foot in yield during the first trial. +8.4 grams per square foot in the second, higher-rate trial. ROI of 20:1, with an input cost of only $0.03 to $0.06 per square foot. Not only did MIICROBIAL MASS PRO deliver results, but it also fit seamlessly into 5 Points’ existing cultivation program. Its ease of integration, compatibility with existing systems, and sustainability profile made it an ideal solution for their efficiency-first approach. “We love MIICROBIAL MASS PRO because it is a natural, compatible, easy-to-use solution that makes us more money!”” Conclusion: Innovation and Efficiency Future-Proofed 5 Points’ Success The success of MIICROBIAL MASS PRO at 5 Points is more than just a yield story, it’s a case study in how today’s cultivation companies can stay profitable and competitive through innovation and science-backed efficiency. For them, every input must prove its worth. MIICROBIAL MASS PRO passed that test by driving higher yields, reducing per-unit cost, and delivering a powerful return on investment, all without sacrificing product quality or operational sustainability.
