{"product_id":"aptus-soil-starter-kit","title":"Aptus Soil Starter Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aptus Soil Starter Kit gathers the four products that the Aptus Australian Soil BASIC feed programme actually doses, so a grower working in soil, peat or coco has the whole cycle covered from the first week of vegetative growth through to harvest. In the box are one 400 g pack of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/aptus-baseboost\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Aptus Baseboost\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBaseboost\u003c\/a\u003e, plus 100 ml bottles of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/aptus-fasilitor\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Aptus Fasilitor\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFasilitor\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/aptus-startboost\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Aptus Startboost\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eStartboost\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/aptus-bloomboost\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Aptus Bloomboost\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBloomboost\u003c\/a\u003e, one of each. The useful part is not simply that four Aptus products arrive together: these are precisely the four the Soil BASIC chart feeds, and it feeds no others, so nothing in the programme is missing and nothing here is spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaseboost is the programme's nutrient pellet and the only part of the kit that goes into the substrate rather than the tank: it is worked through soil or coco at the start of the grow, with a top-dress step carried in the chart for longer cycles. The other three are liquids dosed into fresh water at each feed. Fasilitor is the nutrition manager and the constant of the programme, printed in every week column from the first week of vegetative growth to the last full week of flower. Startboost is the root and growth booster, used only early: through vegetative growth and into the first week of flower. Bloomboost is the bloom booster and takes over from the second week of flower, carrying on to the end of the flowering weeks. The two boosters hand off once, so there is no week where the plant sits between stimulants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe programme is written for drain-to-waste feeding in soil, peat or coco, so it assumes solution that runs through and away rather than being recirculated. Each feed follows the same short routine: fresh water in the tank, the liquids for that week, mixed well, then a pH check against the figure the chart prints for that week. The chart also asks for the mixed nutrient to be used straight away rather than held over, which is worth knowing before making up a large batch. Growers already running one or two of these products can still use the kit as the complete programme set, and all four are stocked individually when a single bottle runs out first. One thing to watch on a first run: the pH target is not fixed across the cycle, it lifts slightly as flowering advances, so check it at every mix rather than setting it once and trusting it for the rest of the grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit contains the four products named above and nothing further. There is no feed-schedule USB drive and no discount card in the box.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aptus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083196870814,"sku":"SKU-270426010435","price":199.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/5261\/6094\/files\/Aptus_Soil_Starter_Kit.png?v=1790166313","url":"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/aptus-soil-starter-kit","provider":"Hydro Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
