Base
Nutrient Liquid
Dual-Stage Base nutrient
APTUS BASE is a dual-stage base nutrient designed for high-demand cultivars in both veg and flower. This precise, clean and concentrated formula contains no ballast salts or chlorides allowing for a cleaner and more responsive base nutrient.
Note: The recommended EC of BASE is much lower than most npk formulas. Consult feeding programs. Base contains zero calcium and MUST be used with either Mineral-Calmag or Massboost.
Application - Root drench
Feed Programs
Add BASE to your reservoir during both the vegetative and flowering periods of growth. Be mindful that BASE does not contain calcium and is essentially a Part-B NPK component and must be combined with either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG for optimal results.
Feeding Type
Regular Feeding - 1-2 ml per 1L
BASE is a 100% mineral-based fertiliser compatible with all growing mediums and hydroponic systems. BASE is the only NPK nutrient product you need to use from the beginning of vegetative growth until the end of the fruiting and flowering phase.
BASE is easy to use throughout your plants’ growth cycle. Simply add at
the rate of 1 – 2 ml per litre with the addition of either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG.
BASE provides the essential macro and micro elements needed for plant growth throughout the vegetative and flowering phases of growth.
The ingredients selected for BASE were intentionally chosen to not include chlorides or ballast salts, which cause unnecessary contamination of the growing substrate. Without chlorides or ballast salts, BASE allows you to view the true nutrient density of your feed solution.
BASE contains 0% calcium and must be used with either MASSBOOST (our organo-mineral calcium/magnesium supplement) or MINERAL-CALMAG (our mineral based ‘clean’ calcium/magnesium supplement).
Easy to use – 1-part NPK fertiliser specifically designed for both grow and bloom.
A recommended dilution rate of 1 – 2 ml per 1L throughout the plants’ entire growth cycle.
Cost effective and stable.Applicable in all major growing mediums including: soil, coco, perlite, hydroton, peat moss and rockwool-based mediums.
Contains no chlorides or ballast salts minimising the formation of junk salts in your planting medium.
Nitrogen – Crucial element in chlorophyll, crucial component of plant amino acids
Phosphorus – Improves formation of flowers, stimulator of root development
Potassium – Core component of the unit of plant energy, ATP, controller of plant respiration
Magnesium – Central core of the chlorophyll molecule essential for photosynthesis
Boron – Crucial to healthy cell wall formation
Molybdenum – Converter of inorganic phosphorus into organic forms within the plant
Iron – Essential component to chlorophyll formation, crucial to critical enzyme formation
Manganese – Crucial agent for root growth, resistor of root zone originating pathogens
Zinc – Essential component in the formation of auxins regulating plant growth
Copper – Activator of enzymatic reactions
If starting new from seed, dilute BASE at 1 ml per litre along with either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG from first signs of leaves. FASiLITOR and STARTBOOST are also recommended if applicable with your SOP’s. Increase dose to 1.5 ml per litre as plants begin to establish.
When growing under high intensity HID or LED lights, it’s safe to increase BASE by 10 – 30% above the recommended dose to correct NPK deficiencies. While our recommended dosages are calculated from real world experience growing high-performance cultivars under high intensity HID and LED lights with the enrichment of additional Co2, there is always the possibility of deficiency with certain cultivars.
