And surfr i clearly have no idea what im doing? Have you finished with this lineup and have actual results to share?
Did you try the H16 without aptus?? I've finished a couple rounds with H16 that hit high #'s, but then again I don't hit 3kw a light anyways...I normally run either HG or Canna base depending on substrate. I ran the same cut i always get 2.5-3/kw with H16 Aptus w Canna coco/growstones and got just under 2/.. Shit went sideways around week 4 due to Aptus ph issues. I also had a bad feelin following their chart adding silica late in flower i would have shitty tasting nugs.. Shit talkers should realize im tryin to save you the waste of time and money i am dealin with.. Id like to hear the opinions of those who have actually finished with Aptus in a dialed room and hear their opinion not those who base their opinions on what they read on some forum.. Ive talked to 3 other who know their #s and they had low #s with Heavy/Aptus also.. Trust me I wish I was posting the opposite.. Ive got 25gallons of H16 i want to poor down the sewer..
I finished with H16 the round before and hit my #s but was using Aqua Flakes up to week 4 of flower so the plants were very well structured just wanted something with less N to finish.. I know a huge part of my issue was the ph drop when adding Peakboost.. I had to use a shit load of ph up and ran into major issues. My entire week 4 and 5 was spent flushin the shit out of them wdouble dose ezymes as suggested by Aptus to get my media back on point.. For the amount of so called research that went into Aptus the line was designed to be used with WELL water.. IF you use RO water the addition of PBoost will send your ph into the low 4s ruining the entire batch. Not knowingthis at the time I raised my ph.. Fucked.. Next 2 weeks were spent trying to get things back on track..Had to contact tech support in Holland to find out I couldnt use RO and had to switch to city dechlor... I have a whole packet with a book flyers stickers No mention of water reanywhere only how great Aptus is and how much research has been done to come upwith the line.. But didnt catch tht 95% of their US cust base run RO water..

I also questioned the use of silica through harvest. I stoppped using it at week 5. I also found that most of their line up is HIGHLY acidic. I was needing to add pH up @ 1ml/gal to get back in to my range. I am running DTW so I am not sure about fluctuation, and I do not like the fact that I have to use it within three days. I have been adding it once a week since I have it, at the last watering of the week. I am not sure I will continue. Keeping it very simple with jr peters works wonders for me. In fact, I just ordered their new one part formula to see if I can get the same results with less work.
I am thinking it was not nutes though. Perhaps you are just using a new product that you are not used to. If you have been runnign the same setup and strain for a while, then changin it up to anything other than the norm may throw off the cycle.
Hi CocoAptus is bullshit.. The amount of money I spent on their products cost me a 30% yield reduction and crap meds.. Burn like shit and taste the same.. Returned my Biowaves also, another BS gimmick.. Horseshit all around. Spend your hard earned money with trustworthy companies. Id keep clear of Heavy16 as well..

I tried that, does not work, not at all. The only thing I have found to raise the PH is 6ml of PH up per gallon. If you are not telling us something please enlighten me. Camag does not affect the ph at all and there is no reason why it should.

The up side is, 3 1/2 weeks into 12/12 I am seeing buddage like I did not know was possible.
I am using the Base Boost pellets and have not added any additional NPK.
Thanks DT. As always, good info.Hi F
CaMg does not effect the PH but it acts as a buffer in the water so the PH is more stable
When you use R/O you remove the CaMg from the water so you have no buffer in the water hence why the PH fluctuates so drastically.
When I was using Canna as a base the PH was way off. I since found out Canna coco A&B has low CaMg content this is the reason why my PH was going crazy.
I used Heavt 16 and the PH was fine. Same with Flora nova by GH
Base boost Kicks ass though glad your seeing the same as me
DT
and what makes up the bicarbonate…….Camg !The amount of bicarbonate in the water regulates the stability of your ph.
