£32.17

A highly concentrated mono-silicic acid plant enhancer designed to improve nutrient utilisation, strengthen plant structure and support crops through environmental stress.

Aptus Regulator is a concentrated nutrition manager and anti-stress plant enhancer designed to work alongside your existing feeding programme. Rather than simply adding more fertiliser, Regulator helps plants make more effective use of the nutrients already available to them.

Its formulation combines mono-silicic acid with boron and molybdenum. Mono-silicic acid acts as a nutrient transporter, helping improve nutrient absorption and bioavailability. Boron supports calcium uptake and fibre production, while molybdenum contributes to nitrogen metabolism within the plant.

Regulator also supports stronger cell structure and a tougher epidermal layer, helping plants develop thicker stems and greater structural strength. This makes it particularly useful where crops are exposed to environmental pressures such as temperature stress, wind, drought or nutrient salt accumulation.

A little goes a very long way. The standard Aptus dose is just 1.5ml per 10 litres of water, meaning this 250ml bottle can treat approximately 1,667 litres at the normal application rate.

Why choose Aptus Regulator?

  • Mono-silicic acid formula – provides silicon in mono-silicic acid form to support nutrient transport and utilisation.
  • Improves nutrient uptake – helps increase the absorption, bioavailability and utilisation of nutrients within the feeding programme.
  • Strengthens plant structure – supports stronger cells, a tougher epidermal layer and thicker stems.
  • Supports stress tolerance – helps plants cope with environmental pressures including temperature, wind and drought.
  • Supports natural plant resilience – stronger plant structure helps crops withstand biotic pressures from pests and pathogens.
  • Contains boron – supports calcium uptake and plant fibre production.
  • Contains molybdenum – contributes to effective nitrogen metabolism within the plant.
  • Helps control excessive stretching – supports more controlled internodal development where plants are stretching excessively.
  • Supports salinity tolerance – helps plants cope with stress associated with nutrient salt build-up.
  • Reduces transpiration – helps limit moisture loss through the foliage.
  • Highly concentrated – standard application requires just 1.5ml per 10L.
  • Excellent coverage – 250ml treats approximately 1,667L at the standard rate.

What is Aptus Regulator suitable for?

Regulator is designed for use throughout active crop development. It can be incorporated into feeding programmes during vegetative growth, transition, active flowering and maturation, giving developing plant tissue a continuing supply as the crop progresses.

It is particularly useful for growers looking to improve nutrient efficiency and structural strength without simply increasing the concentration of the base feed. Its role as a nutrient manager makes Regulator relevant across a wide range of crop stages rather than restricting it to rooting or flowering alone.

Regulator is also useful where plants are experiencing environmental stress. Aptus specifically highlights temperature, wind and drought, along with salinity caused by nutrient salt accumulation.

Where excessive vertical growth is a problem, Regulator can also be used to help manage internodal spacing and encourage more compact development.

How to use Aptus Regulator

For standard feeding, use 1.5ml of Aptus Regulator per 10 litres of water. This is equivalent to 0.15ml/L or approximately a 1:6660 dilution.

For 10L of water, use 1.5ml. For 50L, use 7.5ml. For 100L, use 15ml. For 500L, use 75ml. For a 1,000L reservoir, use 150ml.

At the standard 0.15ml/L rate, a 250ml bottle treats approximately 1,667 litres of water.

Always add Regulator first. Fill the reservoir with clean water, measure the required amount of Regulator and mix it thoroughly until evenly dispersed. Add the base fertiliser, boosters and other compatible crop inputs afterwards.

Accurate measurement is important because Regulator is extremely concentrated. For smaller volumes, 1 litre requires just 0.15ml. Aptus gives approximately 0.05ml per drop as a small-volume guide, making the standard 1L dose approximately 3 drops.

Keep the concentrate clean and undiluted inside the bottle. Use clean, dry syringes, pipettes or measuring equipment and avoid allowing water or growing-medium particles to enter the container.

Aptus Regulator FAQs

What is Aptus Regulator?

Aptus Regulator is a highly concentrated nutrition manager and anti-stress plant enhancer. It supports nutrient uptake and utilisation while helping plants develop stronger structure and cope with environmental stress.

Is Aptus Regulator a silicon supplement?

Regulator contains silicon in the form of mono-silicic acid, but it is designed to do more than simply supply silicon. Aptus positions it as a nutrition manager that supports nutrient uptake, structural strength and plant resilience.

What does Aptus Regulator contain?

Aptus Regulator contains mono-silicic acid as its key nutrient-transport component, together with boron and molybdenum.

What does mono-silicic acid do in Aptus Regulator?

Mono-silicic acid acts as a nutrient transporter, helping improve the absorption, bioavailability and utilisation of other nutrients within the feeding programme.

How much Aptus Regulator should I use?

The standard application rate is 1.5ml per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.15ml/L.

How much Aptus Regulator do I need for 50 litres?

Use 7.5ml of Regulator for 50 litres of water at the standard application rate.

How much Aptus Regulator do I need for 100 litres?

Use 15ml of Regulator for 100 litres of water.

How much Aptus Regulator do I need for a 500L reservoir?

Use 75ml of Regulator for a 500L reservoir at the standard application rate.

How much water will 250ml of Aptus Regulator treat?

At the standard 0.15ml/L rate, a 250ml bottle treats approximately 1,667 litres of water.

Should Aptus Regulator be added before nutrients?

Yes. Always add Regulator to clean water first and mix thoroughly until evenly dispersed. Add base nutrients, boosters and other compatible products afterwards.

When should I use Aptus Regulator?

The Aptus UK feeding schedule uses Regulator during vegetative growth, early flowering, active flowering and maturation. It is not included during the final flush.

Does Aptus Regulator help plants cope with heat and drought?

Yes. Aptus specifically identifies temperature, wind and drought among the environmental stresses that Regulator is designed to help plants withstand.

Does Aptus Regulator improve nutrient uptake?

Yes. Improving the uptake, absorption and utilisation of nutrients is one of the main functions Aptus gives for Regulator.

Can Aptus Regulator help reduce plant stretching?

Yes. Regulator can help control excessive internodal spacing and encourage more compact plant development.

Does Aptus Regulator help with salt stress?

Yes. Aptus states that Regulator helps increase resistance to salinity associated with nutrient salt build-up.

Does Aptus Regulator reduce transpiration?

Yes. Reduced transpiration, meaning reduced moisture loss through the leaves, is one of the benefits Aptus lists for Regulator.

How do I measure Aptus Regulator for a small reservoir?

The standard rate is 0.15ml per litre. Aptus gives approximately 0.05ml per drop as a guide for small-volume measuring, making the standard dose for 1 litre approximately 3 drops. A clean syringe or pipette provides more repeatable measurement.

Can Aptus Regulator be used with other nutrients?

Yes. Regulator is designed to work alongside a wider nutrient programme. The important point is mixing order: Regulator goes into clean water first, followed by the other fertilisers and boosters.
