Not knockin the product but think this is kind of a big broken link fail for Aptus.
http://aptus-usa.com/fasilitor
The consumer notice that is on that page is addressing the claims of PGR's in Fasilitor. It's awesome they had a test done proving it doesn't, but the link is dead. Ha.

Thanks man, I know they wouldn't do it on purpose, just got a laugh out of it when I was stoned and surfing. About to start my "believer pack" on some new babies.

fasilitor works so well because of the high levels of molybdenum in combination with high levels of potash. Mo facilitates some of the nitrogen conversion process in the soil, and is essential for nitrogen-fixing microbes to carry out their part of the process. Mo is also the limiting factor in the amount of nitrogen fixed by a plant. K+ activates enzymes crucial to the metabolism of nitrogen (K+ based reactions are what convert synthetic nitrogen to usable forms inside the plant), and in combination with Mo and very pure organic nitrogen sources in startboost are what give treated plants phenomenal bushing structures with no runty laterals, and the tops stay perfectly level thanks to the increased levels of Boron. There are no PGRs in fasilitor, the reason people may think that is because startboost is made up of mostly high quality plant-based(soy) protein hydrolysates with very concentrated peptide fractions. These really really good protein hydrolysates are in huge demand from commercial organic fertilizer companies, so they rarely make it into our industry (most of what gets put in bottles and sold to us is sludge from fertilizer production - B grade salts with lots of heavy metals) and are relatively new to us. And unless you can find Daniels Organic plant food, you'll have a hard time finding a good cheap source of ultra-quality plant protein hydrolysate.

I have been using the heavy 16 with Aptus with good results, do you think heavy 16 uses B grade salts ?

vangs said:
very good points. sorry shoulda thought about that before trying to help.

when you clone, and once their in the medium, do you just grow them out normally and cut off all the branches except 1 and top the plant? how do you get it to grow out so evenly betweeen all 3 colas?? do you have any close up pictures of the process? or any pics of the plants right before they get cut into 3 branches and after?

i tryd doing it to acouple strains i have but it just didnt look right. thanks for helping

Hi Vang you have to keep topping them so they come out even.

There is one main branch at the start but once you top that you soon get another 1 appear and so on. Never do more than 3 though or is affects the yield.

I dont think this will work on a OG but I have never tried it

as vangs mentioned i too would like to no your process of getting such an even canopy?
also with the flora nova do you use the grow and bloom as a base or just the bloom as a base all the way though?
Click to expand...

Everything is even because my room is dialed in and the nutrition is bang on. If you get a uneven canopy you have some thing wrong somewhere like hot spots or a problem with the nutes. To much or to less of something.

With flora nova I use grow & bloom but I been hearing amazing things about botanicare kind so I want to try that

hell yeah man, I'm blown away by ever crop I run with aptus :) It's expensive though so I don't do it much, only when I want a bit more yield and quality than usual. I definitely notice at least a 15% increase in yield on aptus and huge increase in quality, as well as awesomely healthy plants. Like, they could win beauty pageants they're so sexy.

Got a few Q's about your lighting setup.

It looks like you switched out the Blockbuster reflectors for Adjust-A-Wings and you're using exclusively MH bulbs. Any reasons why and can you tell me what brand of MH bulb?

Yes I think the blockbusters were throwing out to much heat. i noticed I get better spread with the wings.

MH room is always running MH it goes from 3 weeks under a T5 to the MH room for 2 weeks then to a bloom room

I use Ushio MH bulbs

TY for the quick reply.

For HPS do you use Ushio as well? If not, what brand do you use?

Do you prefer any company when it comes to electronic ballasts? Ive seen one of your rooms using exclusively Quantum ballasts but I do not recognize the ballasts in the MH room.
