Thanks Bro......:):):):)FaSilitor = Regulator
StartBoost = StartBooster
BloomBoost = TopBooster
PeakBoost = P-Boost
MassBoost = CaMg-Boost
FinaleBoost = K-Boost
Ecozen = Enzym+
Anytime..Thanks Bro......:):):):)
I think many are jumping on Aptus' FaSilitor because it's promoted to act as a PGR..and with the timing of everyone figuring out that plenty of bottled nutes had harmful PGR's makes it more valuable. The science is simple..Aptus has a patented formula of Silicic acid and Boric acid that retains the most bioavailable forms possible. http://www.google.com/patents/US20120276165
I haven't used a Si product in awhile, but saw Jackmayoffer's results and became curious about Aptus' FaSilitor. If you're getting the yields and quality you need already without a Si product..there really is no good reason to use it. If you're not picky about how your Si is formulated...I wouldn't waste a dime on any of those bottles you listed, as you can score a lb of KSi in powder form for less than $20 and make your own.
Most likely it is potassium hydroxide.
ok here goes so I take my 100 Gallons RO water 1-2 ppm to start then add the Fasilitor at the rate of 3mL to evert 5 gallons the add CalMag Plus then Heavy 16 base, then the rest of the Aptus bottles, is it going to mess stuff up by using yellow bottle or the extreme silica at the end to raise the PH to 6.3, I just did this tonight and when I used the silica at the end to rasie the PH It was cloudy when I 1st pored it in but then as it mixed in the little bit of cloudiness went away, Another thing I thought about doing was add the Fasilitor 1st let mix then add the yellow bottle or extreme silica the calmag and down the line, Thanks for any info on this, I just want to make sure I'm adding the Fasilitor and silica used for the PH raise at the right spots...:nailbiting:
Thanks for the reply, When I ran the aptus and heavy 16 a year or so ago I used just the AN PH UP at the very end and everything was killer, I have been adding the silica at 4ml to gallon and that brings me to 6.3 PH at the end with the added silica fron Fasilitor it would be a total of 4 mL to gallon Extreme Silica and .6mL to gallon Facilitor that would be roughly 4.6 ml silca to gallon using both, I'm wondering if that will work, ?hahaha..I feel ya man..that's a lot of nutrient money at risk. What I would be asking myself is..what effect will all that silica have at the end? I stopped using it as a PH up...but it's something you really have to experiment with yourself to decide what's up. Talking more to how it affects the plant itself as compared to what happens to it in nutrient solution...which might mean extra K and possibly fallout of different nutes by the polymers of silica. I don't think you need to worry about the Potassium Hydroxide messing with your mix..I would think as long as you're never getting too far out of range.
maybe even dilute the PH in a gallon of RO before adding would help..just an idea not sure if it would actually work well.

That is what I'm going to do then, I used the AN PH up with the heavy and Aptus in the past and it was stellar results. Now the Damn mail man needs to get here with my 1000mL Euro Aptus Bottles....:D@oscar169 I wouldn't use another silica product along with fisilitor, actually I would try to stay away from any other product if using the full aptus lineup with the exception of Cal Mg... I suggest you use just regular PH up like you did in the past as fisilitor is the only source of Silica needed, the stuff is strong and is available to the plants immediately...
