H&G + Roots ex VS H&G + aptus Seedlings in coco

[BigGreen]

Just doing a little side by side test. I want to find out if the aptus is up to all the hype.
I have 15 seedling that are 2 weeks, old up til now I been feeding them H&G with a weekly tea with OGbiowar bennies.
All plants are in the same tent under the same t5
I just transplanted them today into 5.5 pots. I will be feeding 7 of the plants H&G with roots excelerator and the other 8 with H&G and aptus fasilitor & starboost plus weekly teas for all the plants

Ill get some pics up tomorrow to start the show

Day 1 of test

Day 1 of test

After the these get bigger Ill do a side by side with exact same cuts for now this should give a good idea how well aptus works.
Everything the same ph ppm wise

2 week old seedlings of various strains. I have at least 1 of each strain in each tray to test



Aptus


Roots excel

You should of had a control group to see how great they would do without any of the products so we could see if they are worth the price

 

[BigGreen]

I can do that with clones after these move outta the tent.
It will be much more accurate doing it with the exact same cuts

 

[LEDNewbie]

Awesome side by side brother!!! I'm tuned in!!! How often you feeding? How often are you giving Aptus?

 

[BigGreen]

So far I been feeding every other day in the smaller pots ec .8
Since I transplanted yesterday Im hoping to be feeding everyday in a week. Full nutes every feeding ec 1 ph 5.6 and every Friday they gets a ogbiowar tea thats brewing right now

 

[otis33]

Do you brew ewc, a sugar, and 1tsp each of foliar roots and nute per gallon, or do you have your own recipe?

 

[BigGreen]

Im brewing 2 gallons I use 1 cup ewc, 1 cup humi soil, 50 ml blackstrap, 2 tbls root and 2 tbls foliar. I also added the nute pack to the coco at transplant. Since these are small pants and I just transplanted I am giving them the tea full strength no dilution.
Next batch I will brew 1/2 strength 2 gallons with 1 tbls of each root and foliar 1/2 cup ewc, 1/2 cup humi soil and 50 ml blackstrap

 

[BigGreen]

Had to do an update there looking real nice and roots are growing like mad
This is 3 days after transplant and theres already roots busting out the bottom of the pots

Aptus on left RE on right

I cant give all the credit to the nutes for the roots taking off. Its more likely the ogbiowar nute pack I mixed into the coco before transplant and then they received a ogbiowar tea on Friday

There just about to the point where they bust outta that baby look and go balls out

Thanks for looking

You read my mind brother!!! Was just going to post looking for a update

They look good!!! Once I'm done this round in the next couple weeks I plan on switching over to coco with full Aptus nutes and H&G as my base. I will also be doing a weekly feeding of ogbiowar tea plus a foliage spray with it as well. So I'm really interested to see how things go for you!!! How long do you plan to veg for? Always under t5 lights? What lights do you plan to flower under? Do you plan on running Aptus nutes during flower as well?

Good luck bud!!

 

[BigGreen]

You should see them today. They have some full size leaves already they seem to grow a shit load daily.
Im not sure how Im gonna do this yet. I mite just take cuts from all the females and flower them out. Or I may just take cuts for the under current and flower all the seeds on the coco table fed dtw. I usually grow with clones mono cropped in different systems.

Either way Ill be doing 1/2 the room dtw coco fed H&G coco with either Aptus additives or H&G.
The other 1/2 the room has an 8 ucxl and I will run them with cs nutes.
All this growing under 4 600s with co2
I will veg and bloom them in the same room. Probably only 10-14 days then flip em

Ill update Wed then it will be 1 week from transplant and being fed aptus

[BigGreen]

1 week since I started the test and they seem to be loving it up

Aptus is always on the left RE on the right



Same 2 killer chem seedlings


Happy happy

[LEDNewbie]

They look nice and healthy and happy. So far pretty even I'd say.

 

[BigGreen]

Real close for sure the aptus side seems a C hair bigger.
I decided Im gonna throw these in 3 gal containers and bloom them all out under 4 600s or maybe 6 600s cant never make my mind up

 

[LEDNewbie]

Most excellent!!!! You going to veg for another week?

What brand coco you using?

 

[BigGreen]

Im gonna veg em til there nice mini bushes. I only have 7' ceilings so I have to keep them short and fat. Probably gonna veg them for a few more weeks, still have to cull the males.
Im actually still finishing the build on the room for these, so how ever long that takes thats how long Ill veg
Im using botanicare cocogro pure with hydroton on the bottom inch of the pot

 

[BigGreen]

There starting to blow up and the roots look sick
Decided to up the nutes ec 1.2 ph 6.0 and to make this side by side a little more even I am adding all the H & G additives against the aptus

Aptus


H&G


Decided to flip over a couple plants and they all look the same sick ass roots

The OGbiowar bennies kick ass


Thats 9 days from transplant

BG

 

[BigGreen]

One more a little more clear



Cant say enough about these bennies they kick ass

 

[LEDNewbie]

Not trying to jack your thread. But thought I'd show some pics of my PPP seedlings.

8 days ago they looked like this


So 8 days ago I gave them a very light feed of about 200ppm G&H base and half strength Aptus Fascillitor and start boost. Think I gave them a little too much fluid cause 8 days later soil is still pretty wet! they are under 3 two foot T5s and temps are only around 68-70 degrees. They will be in better temps once I transplant them into 4" pots. Is this decent growth for not being in optimal temps?
