I am bored, stoned, and have no snow tires. So I will break down my price model if I use Aptus....flower price calculation.
I use 3000w so you will have to adjust your figures to 40%. You might also use significantly more or less water per cycle, so you might need to address that as well.
Problem... Determine the Nute costs for a 9 week cycle. Week 9 is flush. Weeks 1-8 will be using H&G coco base nutes, supplemented twice a week with Aptus full line, ecozen used only once a week.
Answer.....
Approx volume of feed per week.
1. 80litres
2. 120 litres
3. 160 litres
4. 160 litres
5. 160 litres
6. 160 litres
7. 160 litres
8. 160 litres
1160 litres total.....this will need about $35 worth of H@G base.
Now for Aptus you need to find out how much of each you need each week. So for week 1. If I feed with Aptus twice a week. I need 2/7th of 80, or 23 litres. Use their calculator to determine which nutes I need that week, and how much of each
You do this for each week, then total each nute.
You then find the price of the bottle you want, and determine what percent of it you would use in the grow. Then use this percent against the cost of the bottle.
For example I would need 50ml of FAS per cycle, a 250ml bottle is $200, so it cost me $40.
Doing this for the full line works out to $186 per 3000w harvest.
Now for me, if it increases yield 2-3% over base nutes only, it was worth it.
Trolls that dont know math will see, my nute cost using aptus and H&G, is 6 times more than H&G alone, and since it won't increase yield 600% it is a waste of money.
I se a Bio-Wave! I have 2 more grows running on Aptus.
Gonna have to phone the crew and order more.
Im switching to soil from coco. To much work watering 1300 plants a day for 2 people. Plamt management takesa back seat cause im always water. Big no-no. What's going on above the soil is as important as what's going on inside the soil.
I just started realizing how much of an art plucking/deleaging plants is.
Floranova
Aptus Additives.
C02.
Simple.
PS: Dutch Treat - Looks like I see a BioWave in your garden. Thoughts?
I just started ther soil feed today.
Got 2 coco spots running on Aptus. Both in veg. One is flipped on Monday, the other on Jan 2nd.
Billy told me that I should be very careful not to use to much Floranova in the soil with Aptus. He told me to cut the dosage in half the whole way through.
I waterted the soil plants today for the 1st time.
300 ppm of Floranova.
30ml of Fasilitor.
50ml of Startboost.
PH 6.2.
Mixed in a 50 gallon rez.
Vag.....Don`t sacrifice bottomline yields fer ease of tendin yer plants......I`m just sayin...Delegate authority and hire more help....but.....I have 2 more grows running on Aptus.

Do whatever it takes ta make yer life easier......I just hope the additives and growin in slower draining soil with less aeration to the rootzone will getchas close to the same returns you`re used to with coco even if it took more watering/feed cycles.......and.....
DT........Strippin leaves off yer plants will stunt the shit out of em unless yas wait till complete end of stretch guaranteed.........
Witnessed it first hand from a self-proclaimed guru here several yrs back swearin that day 21 and day 45 was the way , truth , and light......but.......
What it did was add 2 FULL weeks to my Chem D Harvey`s to get even close to what I was used ta pullin @ 10 weeks that turned into 12.......on 8 separate rooms.......so......
I finally figured out that once hormonal changes in the plant had changed to complete swellage instead of still bein in stretch/root building mode , that ........
Strippin every fan with a stem attached gradually over a 7-10 day basis till they were all gone with only the 1 leafers juttin out the colas and limbs was the best way to concentrate the plants energy on suckin juice and pumpin resin as a survival mode during lights on , so the plants could concentrate on swellage instead of keepin nuthin ass un-needed fanleaves alive that were ultimately yellow off , shrivel up , fall on the floor , and provide perfect breeding grounds for potential late bloom air born nasties to form and proliferate.....anyways......
Just tryin ta help from all them yrs , so maybe it`ll help you yield more in the long run with yer big ass warehouse DT......and..........
Good luck Vag......and hope results for the Aptus continue to impress and improve DT......but.....Damn yall`s shit is expensive........and......
If I got some for a headies grow since I`m retired , am I gonna glow in the dark ?......
Peace......DHF........
