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

How to Use
Add BASE to your reservoir during both the vegetative and flowering periods of growth. Be mindful that BASE does not contain calcium and must be combined with either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG for optimal results.

About
BASE is a 100% mineral-based fertilizer 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 4 — 10 ml per gallon with the addition of either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG.

Education
BASE provides the essential macro and micro elements needed for plant growth throughout the vegetative and flowering phases of growth.

The ingredients for BASE were intentionally chosen to not include ingredients which cause unnecessary contamination of the growing substrate.

Without these ingredients, BASE allows you to feed accurately knowing the true nutrient density of your feeding solution.

BASE contains 0% calcium and must be used with either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG.

Why Use Base?
Easy to use N-P-K fertilizer designed for both vegetative and flowering phases of growth.

Very stable in solution. Allows for precise EC/PPM targets to be reached.

May be used in all major growing mediums including: soil, coco, perlite, clay pebbles, peat moss, and rockwool based planting mediums.

KEY ingredients
Nitrogen Macro element crucial to chlorophyll production and critical component of amino acids needed for growth processes.

Phosphorus Element responsible for the storing of energy produced from photosynthetic activity and is also crucial to root formation.

Potassium Critical to the movement of water, sugars, and nutrients in plant tissue.

NOTE 0% calcium and must be used with either MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG.

Tips From the Field
If starting new from seed, dilute BASE at 4 ml per gallon 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 6 ml per gallon 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.
