A highly concentrated organic root and growth stimulator that supports vigorous root development, vegetative growth and beneficial microbial activity at just 2.5ml per 10L.
Aptus Startbooster is a 100% biological root and vegetative growth stimulator designed to get young plants established quickly and support strong development before flowering. Its concentrated formula combines organic nitrogen chelated with L-amino acids, beneficial microlife biomass, humic acid and high-grade fulvic acid.
Rather than simply supplying more mineral fertiliser, Startbooster works around the root zone as well as within the plant. L-amino acids provide organic nitrogen and biostimulation, while the microbial biomass helps break down nutrients and supports a healthy biological environment around developing roots.
Humic and fulvic components complement this activity around the root zone. Aptus specifically identifies improved water retention, root-zone conditioning and cation and anion exchange among the functions of the humic acid in Startbooster.
The standard dose is only 2.5ml per 10 litres of water. This means the compact 50ml bottle provides enough concentrate for approximately 200 litres of nutrient solution at the normal application rate.
Why choose Aptus Startbooster?
- Root & growth stimulator – developed specifically to encourage root-system development and vigorous vegetative growth.
- 100% biological formulation – made with active organic ingredients rather than being positioned as another mineral base fertiliser.
- Supports root hair development – helps young plants establish an active, well-developed root system.
- Organic nitrogen with L-amino acids – supplies an easily utilised form of nitrogen while supporting vegetative growth and biostimulation.
- Beneficial microlife biomass – contains biomass produced through controlled fermentation of selected beneficial strains.
- Humic acid from Leonardite – supports water retention, root-zone conditioning and nutrient exchange.
- High-grade fulvic acid – forms part of the concentrated organic root and growth formula.
- Supports microbial populations – L-amino acids and microlife biomass help encourage biological activity around the root zone.
- Highly concentrated – the normal application rate is only 2.5ml per 10L of water.
- Excellent coverage from a small bottle – 50ml treats approximately 200L at the standard rate.
What is Aptus Startbooster suitable for?
Startbooster is primarily intended for the establishment and vegetative stages, when developing a healthy root system and strong plant structure is a priority. Use it throughout vegetative growth alongside an appropriate NPK feeding programme.
Aptus continues Startbooster into the beginning of flowering, but only briefly. In its UK feeding programme, Startbooster is used for the first watering during early flowering and is then withdrawn as the crop moves into active flowering.
Startbooster also has specific applications for propagation and transplant establishment. Aptus publishes a separate dilution for feeding new clones and a stronger root-dip solution for transplanting.
It can be used alongside Aptus All-in-One Liquid or another suitable NPK base fertiliser. Aptus also states that Startbooster can be used on pre-fertilised soil without an additional vegetative fertiliser where the growing medium already contains sufficient base nutrition.
How to use Aptus Startbooster
For normal feeding, use 2.5ml of Startbooster per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.25ml/L or a 1:4000 dilution. Use throughout vegetative development and for the first watering as the crop enters early flowering.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2.5ml. For 50L, use 12.5ml. For 100L, use 25ml. At this rate, a 50ml bottle prepares approximately 200 litres of nutrient solution.
When mixing a feed solution, add the base NPK nutrients first and measure the EC. Add Startbooster afterwards and mix thoroughly.
For new clones, Aptus recommends a separate dilution of 1ml per litre of water. This is a specific propagation application and should not be confused with the normal 0.25ml/L feeding rate.
For transplanting, Aptus recommends dipping the roots in a solution mixed at 10ml per litre of water. Again, this is a specific root-dip treatment rather than the normal reservoir dosage.
Startbooster is an organic product. Do not leave mixed Startbooster standing in a reservoir for longer than 2 – 3 days, as biological activity can lead to organic biofilm developing within the tank and irrigation equipment.
When Startbooster is applied through drip irrigation, use Aptus System-Clean alongside it to help reduce the risk of organic build-up and blocked drippers.

Aptus Startbooster FAQs
Is Aptus Startbooster organic?
Aptus describes Startbooster as a 100% biological product containing active organic ingredients.
What is in Aptus Startbooster?
Startbooster contains organic nitrogen chelated with L-amino acids, microlife biomass produced through controlled fermentation of selected strains, humic acid from Leonardite and high-grade fulvic acid.
What does Aptus Startbooster do?
Startbooster supports the development of roots, root hairs, stems and vegetative plant tissue. Its organic components also help condition the root zone and support beneficial microbial populations.
How much Aptus Startbooster should I use?
For normal feeding, use 2.5ml per 10 litres of water. This is equivalent to 0.25ml/L or a dilution of 1:4000.
How much Startbooster do I need for 50 litres?
Use 12.5ml of Aptus Startbooster for 50 litres of nutrient solution at the standard application rate.
How much Startbooster do I need for 100 litres?
Use 25ml of Startbooster for a 100L reservoir at the standard rate.
How much nutrient solution will 50ml of Aptus Startbooster make?
At the standard 0.25ml/L application rate, a 50ml bottle treats approximately 200 litres of nutrient solution.
When should I use Aptus Startbooster?
Use Startbooster during establishment and vegetative growth. The Aptus UK feeding programme also uses it for the first watering during early flowering before withdrawing it for the remainder of flowering.
Can Aptus Startbooster be used for clones?
Yes. Aptus recommends a 1:1000 dilution for feeding new clones, which is equivalent to 1ml of Startbooster per litre of water.
Can Aptus Startbooster be used when transplanting?
Yes. Aptus recommends a separate root-dip treatment for transplanting, using 10ml of Startbooster per litre of water.
Is Aptus Startbooster a base nutrient?
No. Startbooster is primarily a root and growth biostimulant. For normal cultivation, use it alongside an appropriate NPK base fertiliser.
Can Startbooster be used with another brand of base nutrient?
Yes. The Aptus UK programme allows Startbooster to be used alongside Aptus All-in-One Liquid or another suitable base NPK fertiliser.
Can Startbooster be used with pre-fertilised soil?
Yes. Aptus states that Startbooster can be used on pre-fertilised soil without an additional vegetative fertiliser where the growing medium already provides the required base nutrition.
When should Startbooster be added to the nutrient solution?
Add the base NPK fertiliser first and measure the EC. Add Startbooster afterwards and mix the solution thoroughly.
Can Aptus Startbooster be used in drip irrigation?
Yes, but Startbooster is organic and can contribute to biofilm inside irrigation equipment. Aptus therefore recommends using System-Clean alongside Startbooster in drip irrigation systems.
How long can mixed Startbooster stay in a reservoir?
Aptus recommends keeping Startbooster in a mixed reservoir for no longer than 2 – 3 days. Longer storage increases the risk of organic biofilm and blocked irrigation lines.
Why can Startbooster create biofilm in a reservoir?
Startbooster contains biological material, including spore-forming bacteria. Once mixed with water these organisms become active, and bacterial activity can produce biofilm. This biological activity is useful around the root zone but undesirable inside tanks and irrigation lines.
Can Aptus Startbooster burn young plants?
Aptus states that the organic nitrogen supplied through L-amino acids supports vegetative growth without the normal risk of fertiliser burn associated with excessive mineral nutrient concentration. The standard feeding rate should still be followed for routine use.

A highly concentrated organic root and growth stimulator that supports vigorous root development, vegetative growth and beneficial microbial activity at just 2.5ml per 10L.
Aptus Startbooster is a 100% biological root and vegetative growth stimulator designed to help plants establish a strong, active root system and healthy vegetative structure. Its concentrated formula combines organic nitrogen chelated with L-amino acids, beneficial microlife biomass, humic acid from Leonardite and high-grade fulvic acid.
Startbooster works both around the root zone and within the plant. It encourages root and root-hair development while supporting stems and vegetative plant tissue, helping crops establish the structure they need before moving into active flowering.
The L-amino acids provide organic nitrogen and biostimulation while supporting beneficial bacterial populations. Microlife biomass helps break down nutrients around the roots, while humic acid supports water retention, root-zone conditioning and nutrient exchange.
With a standard application rate of only 2.5ml per 10 litres, Startbooster is extremely concentrated. A 250ml bottle provides enough concentrate to prepare approximately 1,000 litres of nutrient solution at the normal feeding rate.
Why choose Aptus Startbooster?
- Powerful root & growth stimulator – designed to encourage vigorous root development and vegetative growth.
- 100% biological formulation – made with active organic ingredients.
- Encourages root-hair development – supports the formation of an active root system during establishment.
- Supports stems & plant tissue – helps build strong vegetative structure before active flowering.
- Organic nitrogen with L-amino acids – combines organic nitrogen nutrition with amino-acid biostimulation.
- Beneficial microlife biomass – supports microbial populations and nutrient breakdown around the root zone.
- Humic acid from Leonardite – supports water retention, root-zone conditioning and cation and anion exchange.
- High-grade fulvic acid – included as part of the concentrated biological formulation.
- Highly concentrated – standard feeding requires just 2.5ml per 10L.
- Excellent coverage – a 250ml bottle treats approximately 1,000L at the standard rate.
What is Aptus Startbooster suitable for?
Startbooster is primarily designed for propagation, establishment and vegetative development. These are the stages when establishing a healthy root system and strong vegetative structure is particularly important.
During normal crop feeding, use Startbooster throughout vegetative growth alongside an appropriate NPK fertiliser. The Aptus UK programme also carries Startbooster into early flowering for the first watering only, after which it is withdrawn as the crop moves into active flowering.
Startbooster also has dedicated applications for new clones and transplant establishment. Aptus specifies different concentrations for these uses, allowing the same product to support crops from propagation through established vegetative growth.
It can be incorporated into a complete Aptus feeding programme or used alongside another suitable liquid NPK base fertiliser. On pre-fertilised growing media, Aptus also allows Startbooster to be used without an additional vegetative fertiliser where sufficient base nutrition is already present.
How to use Aptus Startbooster
For normal feeding, use 2.5ml of Startbooster per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.25ml/L or a 1:4000 dilution. Use throughout vegetative development and for the first watering as the crop enters early flowering.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2.5ml. For 50L, use 12.5ml. For 100L, use 25ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 125ml. For 1,000L, use 250ml.
At the standard 0.25ml/L rate, a 250ml bottle prepares approximately 1,000 litres of nutrient solution.
When preparing the nutrient solution, add the NPK base nutrients first and measure the EC. Add Startbooster afterwards and mix thoroughly.
For new clones, Aptus recommends a separate dilution of 1ml per litre of water. This is a propagation-specific application rather than the normal reservoir feeding rate.
For transplanting, Aptus recommends dipping the roots in a solution containing 10ml per litre of water. This stronger concentration is specifically intended as a transplant root dip.
Startbooster is an organic product. Do not leave mixed Startbooster standing in a reservoir for longer than 2 – 3 days, as biological activity can contribute to organic biofilm and irrigation-line blockages.
When Startbooster is applied through drip irrigation, use Aptus System-Clean alongside it to help manage organic build-up and keep drippers and irrigation lines clear.

A highly concentrated 100% organic bloom and maturation booster designed to support flowering, fruit development and final crop quality at just 2ml per 10L.
Aptus Topbooster is a concentrated flowering biostimulant developed to support plants through established flowering and maturation. It works alongside a base NPK fertiliser rather than replacing it, providing a carefully selected combination of organic compounds and trace elements during one of the most demanding stages of crop development.
The formula combines L-amino acids and polysaccharides with boron, iron and molybdenum, natural flowering stimulants and vitamin complexes produced through natural fermentation. Aptus uses this combination to support floral development and maturation while encouraging efficient nutrient uptake and beneficial microbial activity around the root zone.
Topbooster is also designed to support the natural production of fibres, resins and sugars as flowering develops, helping growers focus not simply on crop size but on the quality, appearance and natural characteristics of the finished crop.
Because the formula is highly concentrated, very little product is required. At the standard 2ml per 10L rate, a 250ml bottle provides enough concentrate to prepare approximately 1,250 litres of nutrient solution.
Why choose Aptus Topbooster?
- 100% organic formulation – a concentrated organic bloom and maturation stimulator.
- Exceptionally concentrated – the standard application rate is only 2ml per 10L of water.
- Supports flowering & maturation – designed for use through almost the complete flowering phase.
- Contains L-amino acids – used to support floral development and maturation.
- Rich in polysaccharides – sugars help support nutrient uptake and beneficial microbial populations.
- Trace element support – supplies boron, iron and molybdenum.
- Natural flowering stimulants – formulated to support the plant's natural flowering response.
- Fermentation-derived vitamin complexes – included to support processes involved in plant development.
- Supports final crop quality – designed to encourage fibres, resins and sugars while supporting natural flavour and appearance.
- Excellent concentrate economy – 250ml prepares approximately 1,250L at the standard rate.
What is Aptus Topbooster suitable for?
Aptus Topbooster is intended for flowering and fruiting crops once they have moved beyond vegetative development and into established flowering. It is used as an additive alongside an appropriate NPK base fertiliser rather than as a standalone feed.
In crop-stage terms, introduce Topbooster once the initial flowering transition has passed and flowering is becoming established. Continue through active flower or fruit development and maturation, stopping before the final flushing stage.
Topbooster can be incorporated into a complete Aptus feeding programme or used alongside another appropriate NPK base fertiliser. Its concentrated formulation makes the 250ml bottle particularly practical for smaller reservoirs and growers who want to introduce Topbooster without moving straight to a larger pack size.
How to use Aptus Topbooster
Use 2ml of Aptus Topbooster per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.2ml/L or a dilution of 1:5000. Introduce it once flowering is established and continue through active flowering and maturation before the final flush.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2ml. For 50L, use 10ml. For 100L, use 20ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 100ml. For 1,000L, use 200ml.
At the standard 2ml per 10L application rate, a 250ml bottle prepares approximately 1,250 litres of nutrient solution.
Aptus states that Topbooster can also be increased gradually for healthy, vigorous crops, from the standard 2ml up to a maximum of 4ml per 10L as flowering and maturation progress. The standard 2ml per 10L rate remains the appropriate starting point.
Topbooster is a 100% organic product. In drip irrigation systems, organic material can increase the risk of biofilm and blocked drippers, so Aptus recommends using System-Clean alongside Topbooster.
Do not leave diluted Topbooster standing in a reservoir for longer than 2 – 3 days. Prepare fresh nutrient solution regularly to reduce organic biofilm build-up within irrigation equipment.
Topbooster is a flowering additive rather than a complete base nutrient. Always use it alongside an appropriate NPK fertiliser.

What is Aptus Topbooster suitable for?
Topbooster is designed for flowering and fruiting crops that have moved beyond vegetative growth and are entering their reproductive stage. Aptus recommends using it through almost the complete bloom phase alongside an appropriate base NPK fertiliser.
In crop-stage terms, introduce Topbooster once the initial flowering transition has passed and flowering is becoming established. Continue through active flowering, fruit or flower development and maturation, stopping before the final flush.
Topbooster can be incorporated into Aptus feeding programmes or used alongside another suitable base NPK fertiliser. This makes it a flexible flowering additive for growers who want the benefits of the Aptus biostimulant programme without necessarily changing their complete base feed.
How to use Aptus Topbooster
Use 2ml of Topbooster per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.2ml/L or a 1:5000 dilution. Aptus recommends application through almost the complete flowering phase, beginning once flowering is established and continuing through maturation before the final flush.
For 10L of solution, use 2ml. For 50L, use 10ml. For 100L, use 20ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 100ml. For 1,000L, use 200ml.
At the standard 2ml per 10L rate, a 500ml bottle prepares approximately 2,500 litres of nutrient solution.
Aptus also publishes an advanced feeding programme in which Topbooster is progressively increased through flowering. This rises from 2.5ml per 10L during early flowering to 3ml per 10L during active flowering and 4ml per 10L during maturation. The manufacturer specifies this higher-intensity programme for healthy, vigorous plants rather than as the standard starting rate.
Topbooster is an organic product. When using it in drip irrigation, organic material can increase the risk of biofilm and blocked drippers. Aptus recommends using System-Clean alongside Topbooster in drip systems and advises against leaving diluted Topbooster in a reservoir for longer than 2 – 3 days.
Topbooster is an additive rather than a complete base nutrient. Use it alongside an appropriate NPK fertiliser throughout the recommended flowering stages.

A highly concentrated organic root and growth stimulator that supports vigorous root development, vegetative growth and beneficial microbial activity at just 2.5ml per 10L.
Aptus Startbooster is a 100% biological root and vegetative growth stimulator developed to help plants establish a strong foundation before flowering. Its concentrated formulation combines organic nitrogen chelated with L-amino acids, beneficial microlife biomass, humic acid and high-grade fulvic acid.
Startbooster works both with the plant and around its root zone. It encourages root and root-hair development while supporting stems and vegetative plant tissue, helping crops establish the structure needed for productive later growth.
Its L-amino acids provide organic nitrogen and biostimulation while supporting beneficial bacterial populations. The microlife biomass helps break down nutrients within the growing medium, while humic acid contributes to water retention, root-zone conditioning and nutrient exchange.
Startbooster is exceptionally concentrated. The standard Aptus application rate is only 2.5ml per 10 litres of water, giving the 500ml bottle enough concentrate to prepare approximately 2,000 litres of nutrient solution.
Why choose Aptus Startbooster?
- Powerful root & growth stimulator – designed to encourage root development and vigorous vegetative growth.
- 100% biological formulation – contains active organic ingredients rather than functioning as another mineral base fertiliser.
- Supports root-hair development – helps plants establish a more active root system during early development.
- Supports stems & plant tissue – formulated to encourage strong vegetative structure as plants establish.
- Organic nitrogen with L-amino acids – supplies organic nitrogen alongside amino-acid biostimulation.
- Beneficial microlife biomass – supports microbial populations and nutrient breakdown around the root zone.
- Humic acid from Leonardite – supports water retention, root-zone conditioning and cation and anion exchange.
- High-grade fulvic acid – included as part of the concentrated biological formulation.
- Highly concentrated – the standard rate is only 2.5ml per 10L.
- Excellent coverage – a 500ml bottle treats approximately 2,000L at the standard application rate.
What is Aptus Startbooster suitable for?
Startbooster is primarily designed for propagation, establishment and vegetative development, when building a healthy root system and strong plant structure is a priority.
During normal crop feeding, use Startbooster throughout vegetative growth alongside an appropriate NPK fertiliser. The Aptus UK feeding programme then carries Startbooster into early flowering for the first watering only, after which it is withdrawn as the crop moves further into flowering.
Startbooster also has dedicated applications for new clones and transplant establishment. These use different concentrations from the normal reservoir rate, allowing the same product to support crops from propagation through established vegetative development.
It can be incorporated into the wider Aptus feeding programme or used alongside another suitable liquid NPK base fertiliser. On pre-fertilised growing media, Aptus also allows Startbooster to be used without an additional vegetative fertiliser where the medium already supplies sufficient base nutrition.
How to use Aptus Startbooster
For normal feeding, use 2.5ml of Startbooster per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.25ml/L or a 1:4000 dilution. Use throughout vegetative development and for the first watering as the crop enters early flowering.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2.5ml. For 50L, use 12.5ml. For 100L, use 25ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 125ml. For 1,000L, use 250ml.
At the standard 0.25ml/L rate, a 500ml bottle prepares approximately 2,000 litres of nutrient solution.
When preparing the nutrient solution, add the base NPK fertiliser first and measure the EC. Add Startbooster afterwards and mix thoroughly.
For new clones, Aptus recommends a separate dilution of 1ml per litre of water. This is a propagation-specific rate and should not be confused with the standard 0.25ml/L feeding rate.
During transplanting, Aptus recommends dipping the roots in a solution containing 10ml per litre of water. This stronger concentration is specifically for the root-dip treatment rather than routine reservoir feeding.
Startbooster is an organic product. Do not leave mixed Startbooster in a reservoir for longer than 2 – 3 days, as biological activity can contribute to organic biofilm and irrigation-line blockages.
When applying Startbooster through drip irrigation, use Aptus System-Clean alongside it to help keep drippers and irrigation lines clear.

A highly concentrated enzyme treatment that helps keep roots and growing media clean, breaks down dead organic matter and reduces the build-up of nutrient salts.
Aptus Enzym+ is a concentrated enzyme treatment developed to maintain a cleaner, more efficient root environment throughout the crop cycle. It works on dead organic material and accumulated nutrient salts within the growing medium, helping plants make better use of the nutrition already available around their roots.
The formula combines cellulase and beta-glucanase enzyme complexes with polysaccharides and manganese. Cellulase helps break down cellulose and dead plant material around the root zone, while beta-glucanase helps transform precipitated nutrient salts into forms that are available to the plant.
This enzymatic action helps keep root surfaces cleaner and supports efficient nutrient absorption. Aptus also recommends Enzym+ for helping stabilise EC within the growing medium and reducing the accumulation of nutrient salts that can contribute to nutrient lockout.
The 1L bottle is particularly practical for larger reservoirs and regular-use feeding programmes. At the standard every-watering rate of 2.5ml per 10L, one litre of Enzym+ is enough to prepare approximately 4,000 litres of solution.
Why choose Aptus Enzym+?
- Keeps root surfaces cleaner – cellulase enzymes help break down cellulose and dead plant material around the root zone.
- Breaks down organic residues – helps process dead plant matter that can otherwise accumulate within the growing medium.
- Helps manage nutrient salt build-up – beta-glucanase helps transform precipitated nutrient salts into plant-available forms.
- Supports nutrient absorption – cleaner root surfaces and improved nutrient availability help roots work more efficiently.
- Helps stabilise substrate EC – useful in intensive feeding programmes where salts can gradually accumulate.
- Helps reduce nutrient lockout – supports better root-zone conditions by preventing excessive nutrient salt accumulation.
- Supports beneficial microlife – polysaccharides and manganese within the formulation help support biological activity in the growing medium.
- Useful for growing-medium reuse – can form part of the cleaning process when preparing suitable growing media for another crop cycle.
- Two dosing options – use at a lower concentration with every watering or at a higher concentration once per week.
- Excellent coverage – the 1L bottle treats approximately 4,000L at the standard every-watering rate.
What is Aptus Enzym+ suitable for?
Enzym+ is designed for maintaining a cleaner and more efficient root environment throughout plant development. It is particularly useful in intensive nutrition programmes where dead organic matter and nutrient salts can gradually accumulate within the growing medium.
As roots naturally develop and age, dead root material remains within the substrate. The cellulase component of Enzym+ helps break down this cellulose-rich plant material, helping keep the area surrounding active roots cleaner.
Enzym+ also targets precipitated nutrient salts. Its beta-glucanase enzyme complex helps transform these deposits into plant-available nutrients, while the overall treatment helps stabilise EC within the growing medium.
The 1L format is well suited to larger gardens, grow rooms and commercial horticultural applications where enzyme treatments are used routinely. It provides considerably more reservoir coverage than smaller bottles while retaining the same concentrated dosing rate.
Enzym+ can also be incorporated into growing-medium management between crop cycles. Where a substrate remains healthy and suitable for reuse, Aptus recommends cleaning out old plant material and accumulated nutrient salts before replanting.
How to use Aptus Enzym+
Aptus provides two application rates depending on how frequently Enzym+ is being used.
At every watering: use 2.5ml per 10L of water. This is equivalent to 0.25ml per litre or a dilution of approximately 1:4000.
Once per week: use 5ml per 10L of water. This is equivalent to 0.5ml per litre or a dilution of approximately 1:2000.
At the every-watering rate, use 12.5ml for 50L, 25ml for 100L, 125ml for 500L or 250ml for 1,000L.
At the once-weekly rate, use 25ml for 50L, 50ml for 100L, 250ml for 500L or 500ml for 1,000L.
Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring. Prepare the nutrient solution first and add Enzym+ last, preferably immediately before watering.
Do not leave a prepared nutrient solution containing Enzym+ standing for more than two days. For best results, prepare only the volume required for the immediate irrigation period.

A highly concentrated irrigation system cleaner that helps prevent biofilm, nutrient deposits and blocked drip lines while keeping water, oxygen and nutrients moving freely through the system.
Aptus System-Clean is a concentrated irrigation cleaner developed to keep nutrient tanks, pipework, drippers and irrigation systems operating efficiently throughout the crop cycle. It is particularly useful where nutrient residues and organic additives can contribute to biofilm and deposits inside irrigation equipment.
Unabsorbed nutrients can accumulate within irrigation systems, encouraging biofilm and creating conditions in which unwanted microbial activity can develop. System-Clean acts as a powerful oxidiser to help control this build-up before it restricts water and nutrient delivery.
Keeping irrigation pathways clean also helps water, dissolved oxygen and nutrients reach the root zone more effectively. This makes System-Clean particularly valuable in drip irrigation and other systems where narrow pipework, emitters and drippers are vulnerable to gradual blockage.
The Aptus Holland UK programme uses System-Clean at just 2.5ml per 10 litres of water. At this concentration, a 1L bottle is sufficient for approximately 4,000 litres of nutrient solution.
Why use Aptus System-Clean?
- Helps keep irrigation lines clean – designed to prevent deposits and blockages developing inside irrigation equipment.
- Controls biofilm build-up – helps prevent nutrient residues from contributing to biological deposits within the system.
- Supports efficient nutrient delivery – clean irrigation pathways allow water and dissolved nutrients to move freely towards the root zone.
- Supports oxygen availability – Aptus identifies increased oxygen around the root area as one of the benefits of maintaining a clean irrigation system.
- Helps remove sources of pathogens – reduces the residues and biological build-up that can provide favourable conditions for unwanted microbes.
- Ideal for drip irrigation – particularly useful where small drippers and emitters are susceptible to blockages.
- Useful with organic Aptus additives – recommended within Aptus programmes using products such as Startbooster and Topbooster through drip systems.
- Highly concentrated – the Aptus Holland UK application rate is only 2.5ml per 10L.
- Excellent coverage – a 1L bottle treats approximately 4,000L of nutrient solution at the standard rate.
- Designed for ongoing system maintenance – can be incorporated into the feeding programme rather than waiting until irrigation lines have already become restricted.
What is Aptus System-Clean suitable for?
System-Clean is designed for irrigation systems where fertiliser residues, organic additives and biological deposits can gradually accumulate within tanks, pipes, drippers and other components.
It is particularly useful in drip irrigation systems. Narrow emitters can be vulnerable to organic biofilm and nutrient deposits, which can gradually restrict flow and cause uneven irrigation across a crop.
System-Clean also plays an important role when organic Aptus products are delivered through drip irrigation. Products such as Startbooster and Topbooster contain organic material, so Aptus recommends using System-Clean alongside them to help reduce the risk of organic build-up and blocked irrigation lines.
Rather than treating irrigation cleanliness as an occasional maintenance job, System-Clean allows growers to incorporate line hygiene into normal reservoir management throughout the crop cycle.
How to use Aptus System-Clean
Add 2.5ml of Aptus System-Clean per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.25ml/L. Aptus recommends adding it to the nutrient tank preferably just before each watering.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2.5ml. For 50L, use 12.5ml. For 100L, use 25ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 125ml. For 1,000L, use 250ml.
When preparing a nutrient tank, first mix the normal nutrient programme and adjust the pH. Add System-Clean last, after the pH has been adjusted.
Aptus states that System-Clean remains effective in the nutrient solution for a maximum of approximately 3 days. Where mixed nutrient solution remains in the reservoir for longer than this, add System-Clean again to the complete volume of water to continue helping minimise biofilm and residue build-up.
At the standard Aptus Holland UK rate of 2.5ml per 10L, a 1L bottle treats approximately 4,000 litres of nutrient solution.

How long does Aptus System-Clean last in a reservoir?
Aptus states that System-Clean lasts for a maximum of approximately 3 days in nutrient solution. If the solution remains in the tank for longer, System-Clean should be added again to the complete reservoir volume.
Does Aptus System-Clean help prevent blocked drippers?
Yes. Preventing biofilm and nutrient deposits is one of the main reasons for using System-Clean, making it particularly useful for drip irrigation systems where narrow emitters are vulnerable to blockages.
Does Aptus System-Clean remove biofilm?
Yes. Aptus specifically identifies the removal and prevention of biofilm build-up within irrigation systems as one of System-Clean's core functions.
Why use System-Clean with Aptus Startbooster?
Startbooster is an organic product, and organic material can increase the risk of biofilm and blocked drip lines. Aptus therefore recommends using System-Clean when Startbooster is applied through drip irrigation.
Why use System-Clean with Aptus Topbooster?
Topbooster is also an organic product. When it is delivered through drip irrigation, System-Clean helps manage the organic and nutrient build-up that could otherwise contribute to restricted drippers and irrigation lines.
Does System-Clean affect nutrient-solution pH?
Aptus Holland states that maintaining a clean irrigation system with System-Clean allows oxygen and nutrients to reach the plant without affecting pH. The manufacturer instructs growers to adjust the nutrient solution pH before adding System-Clean.
Can Aptus System-Clean be used throughout the crop cycle?
Yes. The Aptus feeding programme incorporates System-Clean during vegetative growth and throughout flowering, making it an ongoing irrigation-maintenance product rather than something reserved only for the end of a crop.

A highly concentrated enzyme treatment that helps keep roots and growing media clean, breaks down dead organic matter and reduces the build-up of nutrient salts.
Aptus Enzym+ is a powerful blend of enzymes developed to maintain a cleaner, more efficient root environment. Rather than adding more conventional plant nutrition, it works on organic residues and accumulated nutrient salts within the root zone, helping plants make better use of the nutrition already available.
The formula combines cellulase and beta-glucanase enzyme complexes with polysaccharides and manganese. Cellulase helps break down cellulose and dead plant material that can accumulate around roots, while beta-glucanase helps transform precipitated nutrient salts into forms that are available to the plant.
Keeping this material under control helps maintain cleaner root surfaces and supports efficient nutrient absorption. Aptus also uses Enzym+ to help stabilise EC within the growing medium and reduce the nutrient salt accumulation that can contribute to nutrient lockout.
Enzym+ is suitable for routine use throughout the crop cycle and is particularly valuable for growers looking to maintain their growing media over longer periods or reuse suitable media across multiple crop cycles.
Why choose Aptus Enzym+?
- Keeps root surfaces cleaner – cellulase enzymes help break down cellulose and dead plant material that can accumulate around the roots.
- Helps remove organic residues – supports a cleaner growing environment by breaking down dead organic matter and root remains.
- Helps manage nutrient salt build-up – beta-glucanase helps transform precipitated nutrient salts into plant-available nutrients.
- Supports nutrient absorption – cleaner root surfaces allow the plant to access available nutrition more effectively.
- Helps stabilise EC in the growing medium – useful where accumulated nutrient salts can otherwise affect root-zone conditions.
- Helps reduce nutrient lockout – prevents excessive nutrient salt accumulation within the substrate.
- Supports beneficial microlife – the formulation contains polysaccharides and manganese that support biological activity in the growing medium.
- Supports growing-medium reuse – Aptus recommends Enzym+ when cleaning suitable growing media between crop cycles.
- Flexible dosing – use a lower concentration at every watering or a higher concentration for a once-weekly enzyme treatment.
- Highly concentrated – just 2.5ml treats 10L of water when used at every watering.
What is Aptus Enzym+ suitable for?
Enzym+ is designed for maintaining a clean and efficient root environment throughout plant development. It is particularly useful in intensive feeding programmes where nutrient salts and organic residues can gradually accumulate within the growing medium.
As roots naturally develop and age, dead root material and other organic matter can remain within the substrate. The cellulase component of Enzym+ helps break down this plant material, keeping the area around active roots cleaner and supporting efficient nutrient absorption.
It is also useful where nutrient salts have accumulated or precipitated in the growing medium. Beta-glucanase helps transform these deposits into plant-available nutrients, while the overall formulation helps stabilise EC within the substrate.
Growers who reuse suitable growing media can incorporate Enzym+ into their management programme. Aptus recommends flushing the medium between crop cycles to remove dead plant material and nutrient salts, with Enzym+ helping the clean-up process.
How to use Aptus Enzym+
Aptus provides two application methods depending on how frequently Enzym+ is being used.
At every watering: use 2.5ml per 10L of water. This is equivalent to 0.25ml per litre or a dilution of approximately 1:4000.
Once per week: use 5ml per 10L of water. This is equivalent to 0.5ml per litre or a dilution of approximately 1:2000.
When using the every-watering rate, use 12.5ml for 50L, 25ml for 100L, 125ml for 500L or 250ml for 1,000L.
When using Enzym+ once weekly, use 25ml for 50L, 50ml for 100L, 250ml for 500L or 500ml for 1,000L.
Shake Enzym+ thoroughly before use. Prepare the nutrient solution first, then add Enzym+ last, preferably immediately before watering.
Do not leave a prepared reservoir containing nutrients and Enzym+ standing for more than two days. The enzymes act rapidly in solution and extended reservoir storage can affect nutrient availability.

Why choose the Advanced Nutrients Organic Grow Your Own Kit?
The biggest advantage of the kit is simplicity. Rather than choosing individual base nutrients, flowering additives and microbial products separately, growers get the core products needed to follow a structured organic nutrient programme in one box.
Iguana Juice Grow and Bloom provide the nutritional foundation for the vegetative and flowering stages. OG Organics Big Bud adds targeted support during active flowering, while Voodoo Juice Plus introduces beneficial microorganisms to support a healthy and active root zone.
Advanced Nutrients lists the European Organic Grow Your Own Kit for both vegetative and flowering stages, indoor and outdoor cultivation, regular watering and watering systems. It is also suitable for hydroponic cultivation and coco coir.
How to use the Organic Grow Your Own Kit
Follow the feeding chart supplied with the kit and adjust the programme to suit the development and response of the crop. Shake liquid nutrients thoroughly before measuring and add each liquid product separately to water, mixing thoroughly as you prepare the nutrient solution.
Vegetative growth
Use OG Organics Iguana Juice Grow as the phase-specific base nutrient during vegetative development. The feeding programme builds the concentration progressively as established plants develop.
Flowering
Move from Iguana Juice Grow to OG Organics Iguana Juice Bloom as the crop enters its flowering phase. Bloom provides the phase-specific base nutrition for flowering development.
OG Organics Big Bud is introduced during active flowering at 2ml/L, complementing the Bloom base nutrient during flower development.
Root-zone support
Voodoo Juice Plus provides the microbial element of the programme. Follow the supplied feeding chart for tablet application so the beneficial microorganisms are introduced at the appropriate crop stages.
The supplied Advanced Nutrients feeding chart should remain the primary reference when using the complete kit, particularly because the individual products have different application stages and rates.

A concentrated 0-4-12 PK bloom booster with a 1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium ratio, designed to support strong flower development without adding extra nitrogen.
Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead is a specialist flowering supplement developed for the European market. Its 0-4-12 analysis provides a deliberately potassium-led PK profile, giving a 1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium ratio rather than the much closer ratios found in many conventional PK boosters.
The formulation contains no added nitrogen, allowing growers to increase phosphorus and potassium during flowering without unnecessarily increasing nitrogen supplied by the base nutrient.
Advanced Nutrients uses potassium citrate within Hammerhead rather than relying on sulphate of potash. The product is designed to complement a complete base nutrient programme and is especially suited to growers looking for a targeted PK supplement during active flowering.
Why choose Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead?
- 0-4-12 NPK – a concentrated phosphorus and potassium supplement with no added nitrogen.
- 1:3 PK ratio – significantly more potassium than phosphorus for a deliberately balanced flowering boost.
- Potassium citrate – Advanced Nutrients uses this form of potassium as part of the product's nutrient-availability strategy.
- No added nitrogen – allows extra PK to be introduced without increasing the nitrogen contribution of the feeding programme.
- 2ml/L application rate – straightforward dosing for nutrient tanks and reservoirs.
- Designed to complement base nutrients – works alongside the crop's normal flowering feed rather than replacing it.
- Broad nutrient compatibility – compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect base nutrients as well as compatible third-party feeding programmes.
- Europe-specific formulation – the current Hammerhead is the newer European version of the legacy Advanced Nutrients product.
What is Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead suitable for?
Hammerhead is primarily designed for flowering crops that need additional phosphorus and potassium alongside a complete base nutrient programme.
The current Advanced Nutrients feeding chart introduces Hammerhead at 2ml/L during established vegetative development and again from the developing flowering phase through active and later flowering. Rather than tying this to fixed calendar weeks, Creation recommends following crop development and the wider feeding programme.
Hammerhead has been specifically designed to pair with the Advanced Nutrients Sensi Terra base nutrient range. Advanced Nutrients also confirms compatibility with its pH Perfect base nutrients, its other non-pH Perfect base nutrients and supplements, and compatible programmes using nutrients from other manufacturers.
How to use Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead
Shake the container thoroughly before use. Prepare the normal base nutrient solution first, mixing each component thoroughly into the water.
Add Hammerhead at 2ml per litre when it is required within the feeding programme. During flowering, the manufacturer's current schedule uses Hammerhead from the developing bloom phase through active and later flowering, then stops application for the final flush.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 50L, use 100ml. For a 100L reservoir, use 200ml.
Hammerhead is a PK supplement rather than a complete nutrient. Continue using the appropriate base nutrient to supply the wider macro and micronutrient profile required by the crop.

A highly concentrated 4-14-4 root stimulator combining mineral nutrition, biostimulants and bio-minerals to support rapid root development, stronger early growth and increased plant resilience.
Atami Rootbastic is a premium concentrated root stimulator developed specifically for the crucial early stages of crop development. Its unusually high concentration of phosphorus, combined with additional mineral nutrition, trace elements and biostimulant components, provides targeted support while plants establish their root systems.
Rootbastic stands apart from many conventional rooting additives because it has a substantial NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W. Atami highlights phosphorus as particularly important within the formula because of its role in energy transport and storage and its contribution to essential cellular structures during active plant development.
Alongside its mineral nutrition, Rootbastic contains a concentrated combination of biostimulants and bio-minerals. Atami identifies improved root development, greater resistance to root disease and increased resilience to environmental stress among the principal benefits of the product.
Rootbastic is designed for a short, intensive programme during early crop development. Application begins at only 0.1ml/L and gradually increases to 0.3ml/L, making the 500ml bottle extremely concentrated and economical in use.
Why choose Atami Rootbastic?
- Powerful root stimulator – specifically formulated to support vigorous root development during the crucial early stages of plant growth.
- High NPK concentration – provides an NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W.
- High phosphorus content – phosphorus plays an important role in cellular energy transfer and storage during active development.
- Biostimulants & bio-minerals – combines mineral nutrition with additional components designed to support plant development.
- Trace mineral support – provides trace elements important during early root formation.
- Supports healthier root systems – developed to promote strong root establishment before later crop development.
- Supports resistance to root disease – Atami identifies increased resistance to root diseases as one of Rootbastic's key benefits.
- Environmental stress support – designed to help plants withstand challenging environmental conditions.
- Extremely concentrated – used at only 0.1–0.3ml per litre.
- Suitable for soil, coco & hydro – suitable across the principal professional growing methods.
When should Atami Rootbastic be used?
Rootbastic is intended for the early rooting and growth stages when the plant is actively establishing its root system. Atami describes the product as being highly effective during the first three weeks of the growth cycle.
Rather than viewing Rootbastic as an all-cycle additive, it is best treated as a concentrated early-stage treatment. The application rate increases progressively as the root system develops, beginning at 0.1ml/L before increasing to 0.2ml/L and finally 0.3ml/L.
This progressive approach provides increasing levels of Rootbastic as the young plant becomes established without immediately introducing the maximum concentration.
Rootbastic is suitable for cultivation in soil, coco coir and hydroponic systems. It can be incorporated into a wider crop nutrition programme during the period when strong root establishment is the priority.
How to use Atami Rootbastic
Shake well before use. Add Rootbastic to the normal nutrient solution during the early rooting and growth phase.
Begin at 0.1ml/L during the first stage of the programme. Increase to 0.2ml/L during the second stage and then to 0.3ml/L during the third stage as root development progresses.
At the initial 0.1ml/L rate, use 1ml for 10L, 5ml for 50L, 10ml for 100L, 50ml for 500L and 100ml for a 1,000L reservoir.
At 0.2ml/L, use 2ml for 10L, 10ml for 50L, 20ml for 100L, 100ml for 500L and 200ml for a 1,000L reservoir.
At the maximum 0.3ml/L rate, use 3ml for 10L, 15ml for 50L, 30ml for 100L, 150ml for 500L and 300ml for a 1,000L reservoir.
Rootbastic increases the EC of the base nutrient solution. EC should therefore be monitored after Rootbastic has been incorporated and the overall nutrient strength adjusted according to the crop, growing medium and stage of development.
Why is phosphorus important during root development?
Rootbastic contains considerably more phosphorus than many conventional root stimulators. Atami highlights phosphorus because it plays a fundamental role in the transport and storage of energy within plants.
Energy captured through photosynthesis is stored and transferred through compounds such as ATP, allowing energy to be moved to areas of active development. Phosphorus is also an important component of cellular structures and DNA.
Rootbastic combines this phosphorus-rich mineral nutrition with trace elements, biostimulants and bio-minerals to create a concentrated formula aimed specifically at the establishment of a healthy root system.
Establishing an extensive root system early in the crop cycle gives the plant a larger foundation through which water and mineral nutrition can subsequently be absorbed as above-ground growth increases.
