A Guide to Fishsticks

feed chart on the aptus site...prepare for a lot of mixing,you need to mix after each addition...but it seems to work as advertised...

Its a bit confusing.. If I'm understanding these are all additives and not a base nutrient. I would still use my normal base nutrient than add in Aptus?. I see they have base boost but it's a pellet. I see no other base in their line. Ill see if I can get some info on its usage...

pretty sure that is correct, you just got their additive lineup and you use your preferred base with them whether it’s from Aptus or some other brand.

yes,they are just additives tailored to a specific plant need during flowering. so you will use your base nutes...most of the aptus products you only use a few milliliters at a time.... the mistake i made was not using epsom like i usually do,once i added that back to my base my Mg def problem went away and even corrected itself...

if you look on the grower's house site they have a good breakdown of what's in each product and what it's used for

One more . Lol

Their pellet base is a time released , I wonder how to use that with their additives Odd. Im not using it so doesn't matter lol.. Since all my plants are of different ages I'm not sure where to start. I guess I can just use week 4 for everything.

ignore the pellets...

i don't think that will work using one weeks program universally,the additives are designed to be specific to the flowering week as far as what ratio of what products you use...i would get with 5 l goat and get advice from him

 

[unclefishstick]

on to the next mix...just the led room and the main flower room left for the day....the aptus products really ramp up in the final weeks of feeding,mainly the massboost and finaleboost...i had tried the finaleboost with the last crop of gmo and chemtini and the buds really swole the heck up,really got the classic chem look to the buds...that crop went over 1 gram per watt easy...this run of all trop cherry is looking fat...in the main room i'm doing one feed per week using the aptus...i do three feed cycles then for the forth i do just base nutes and mammoth p...sort of a flush day...

It wouldn't be possible to mix up a gallon every day for ea plant. I don't think Aptus is for perpetual gardens. I have plants at weeks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 lol

I have an organic question I'm hoping you guys may know the answer to.
Starting with 6.4 ph water adding roots organics bottled nutes my pH will drop between 3.5 and 4.4 depending on what bottles I use. I've tried bringing the pH up but it takes way more pH up than I'm comfortable using just to get to 5.5......
Is there something I'm missing or is this just how roots works and the pH don't matter?

 

[Hammerhead]

My PH drops to 4.5 every day. PBP grow is acidic. It does the same. It takes about 1ml to get back to 6.5. I cal my prob every day now to make sure it's spot on. Too many ph issues when I didn't. If it feels off use another probe to verify.

what does their feed chart say? never mind,just looked at it...i have been using olympus up from nectar for the gods,it's liquid calcium (lime) so at least it's something vaguely usable by the plants...the advanced nutrients pH up is fearsomely strong,hard to use it takes so little...

afternoon campers...couldn't fall asleep right away last night,tossed and turned for a while,but still ended up sleeping for 8-9 hours...good thing i don't have anywhere to be today...gonna go ride in a bit after coffee,another nice day out...

i'm kind of surprised with the aptus nutes that i haven't gotten much tip burn in this last week,but i guess when i think about it the amount of nutes i was using previously is about the same volume wise....normally i taper off the nute toward the end of flower...next week they have even more being pumped in...i'm just gonna do one feed at that strength then flush longer than they say....otherwise it seems to work great,could be a really nice crop,certainly looks like 2+ in that room under 1100 watts of lights
