254mm (10") x 10m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-capacity extraction and intake systems.
Powerful ventilation equipment can generate noise from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this sound to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted noise.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas, commercial growing areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and controlling unnecessary noise is important.
Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 254mm / 10" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. Its flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut into the exact lengths required for the installation.
Why choose 254mm acoustic ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 254mm / 10" diameter - suitable for compatible 10-inch ventilation equipment.
- 10 metre length - ideal for longer ventilation routes or cutting into several individual sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for moving extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - use only the amount required for each part of the ventilation installation.
- Suitable for larger growing environments - useful where substantial airflow and reduced transmitted noise are both required.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible duct and become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the ventilation route.
It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along longer sections of ductwork where transmitted ventilation noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Acoustic ducting for controlled growing environments
Effective ventilation is important for managing temperature, humidity and air exchange within indoor growing environments. Higher-capacity extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of environmental-control noise.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air through the installation.
The 254mm / 10" size is suitable for compatible higher-capacity ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
The 10m length is particularly useful for larger growing areas, longer ventilation routes or installations requiring several separate sections of acoustic ducting.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Correct duct installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, helping create a smoother internal path for moving air.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. Although this product provides 10 metres of ducting, there is no need to use the entire length in one continuous run.
Cutting each section to the length actually required can help minimise unnecessary airflow resistance while leaving the remaining duct available for other parts of the ventilation installation.
Installing 254mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Larger insulated ducting should be supported appropriately rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or connecting fitting.
Compatible ventilation equipment
- 254mm / 10" inline extraction fans
- Compatible 10-inch carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ductwork
- Duct connectors and couplers
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Duct clamps and fixing accessories
Check the actual connection diameter of individual ventilation components before installation, as nominal sizes and connection dimensions can vary between manufacturers.

254mm (10") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal diameter of 254mm, equivalent to 10 inches, and is supplied in a 10 metre length. Is this suitable for a 10-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 254mm / 10" duct connection. Can it be used with a 10-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 254mm / 10" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not completely eliminate noise generated directly by the fan. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary flexible ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where reducing ventilation noise is important. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural ventilation systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping transmitted ventilation noise under control. Can it be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 10m duct into shorter sections?
Yes. It can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several individual sections. Do I need to use the full 10 metre length?
No. Use only the amount required for the installation. Keeping duct routes reasonably short and direct generally helps minimise unnecessary airflow resistance. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends in acoustic ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does a longer duct run affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. How should a long run of acoustic ducting be supported?
Longer sections should be supported at suitable intervals so that their weight is not carried entirely by the fan, filter or connecting fittings. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.

317mm (12.5") x 10m Acoustic Ducting is a large-diameter insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-capacity extraction and intake systems.
Powerful ventilation systems generate sound from both the fan itself and the movement of large volumes of air. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, commercial growing areas and controlled growing environments where substantial ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and controlling unnecessary noise is important.
Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible high-capacity fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment and cut into the exact lengths required for the installation.

- 10 metre length - ideal for longer ventilation routes or cutting into several individual sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - allows large ductwork to be routed around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for high-capacity air removal from controlled growing environments.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - use only the amount required for each part of the ventilation installation.
- Suitable for larger horticultural environments - ideal where substantial airflow and reduced transmitted noise are both required.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. With larger ventilation systems, substantial airflow can make transmitted sound particularly noticeable.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct route.

Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Large-diameter acoustic ducting for indoor horticulture
Larger indoor horticultural environments can require substantial air movement to manage temperature, humidity and air exchange. High-capacity extraction and intake systems can consequently become a significant source of environmental-control noise.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect large ventilation components and route air through the installation.
The 317mm / 12.5" diameter is suitable for compatible high-capacity ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
The 10m length is particularly useful for larger growing areas, longer ventilation routes or installations requiring several separate sections of acoustic ducting.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Correct installation is particularly important with large-diameter ventilation systems. Every length of duct, bend and fitting introduces resistance that the fan must overcome.
Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed. This provides a smoother internal path for moving air and helps minimise unnecessary resistance and turbulence.
Keep the ventilation route as short and direct as practical. Avoid crushed sections and excessively tight bends, using gradual changes in direction wherever possible.
Although 10 metres of ducting is supplied, there is no requirement to use the complete length in one continuous run. Cutting each section to the length actually required can help minimise unnecessary airflow resistance.

£1.00
Unit price per
Please sign in to see pricing
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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

The Neutralizer Road Kit is a compact vehicle odour neutralising system designed for cars, saloons and standard-size SUVs. Rather than operating as a conventional fragranced car air freshener, the system uses an Electronic Molecule Evaporator (EME-320) together with a replaceable 20ml essential-oil cartridge to tackle unwanted odours inside the vehicle.
Developed specifically for vehicle use, the Road Kit has a much faster activation time than the larger Neutralizer systems. Natural accelerants within the Road Kit formulation allow the system to begin working in approximately 5 minutes.
The supplied 20ml Road Kit Cartridge contains The Neutralizer's blend of essential oils derived from plant materials including flowers, fruits, roots and other botanical sources.
The system is particularly useful where persistent smells build up inside an enclosed vehicle and a conventional hanging air freshener or fragrance spray simply masks the problem.
Why choose The Neutralizer Road Kit?
- Designed specifically for vehicles - suitable for standard-size cars, saloons and SUVs.
- Approximately 5-minute activation - formulated to begin working considerably faster than larger Neutralizer units.
- Odour neutralising system - designed to tackle unwanted odours rather than simply covering them with a stronger fragrance.
- Electronic Molecule Evaporator - supplied with the EME-320 Road Kit unit.
- 20ml essential-oil cartridge included - ready to set up with the supplied Road Kit refill.
- Up to 45 days of use - based on approximately 2 hours of operation per day.
- Approximately 80-92 hours continuous use - manufacturer guidance for 24/7 operation.
- Replaceable cartridges - the main electronic unit can be retained and fitted with replacement Road Kit cartridges.
- Compact vehicle installation - includes a foam adaptor designed to position the unit in a cup holder.
- Botanical essential-oil formulation - based on a complex blend derived from natural plant materials.
What's included in The Neutralizer Road Kit?
- 1 x EME-320 Electronic Molecule Evaporator
- 1 x RKC-20 Road Kit Cartridge containing 20ml of essential-oil formulation
- 1 x foam cup-holder adaptor for positioning the unit inside the vehicle
Once the original cartridge has been used, replacement 20ml Road Kit cartridges can be fitted without replacing the EME-320 unit.
How does The Neutralizer Road Kit work?
At the centre of the system is the EME-320 Electronic Molecule Evaporator. The device is designed to control the evaporation of the essential-oil formulation so that volatile components are dispersed through the vehicle interior.
The Road Kit formulation incorporates natural accelerants to reduce the activation period to approximately five minutes. This makes it better suited to vehicle use, where a long warm-up period would be impractical.
The manufacturer describes The Neutralizer as an odour-neutralising system rather than a conventional masking fragrance. This distinction makes the Road Kit particularly useful for persistent smells in enclosed vehicle interiors.
Using The Neutralizer Road Kit in your car
Fit the Road Kit cartridge to the EME-320 in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and position the assembled unit securely inside the vehicle using the supplied foam cup-holder adaptor.
The Road Kit is designed to connect to the vehicle's 12V electrical socket. Once powered, allow approximately five minutes for the unit and formulation to activate.
The system is designed to provide coverage for a standard-size saloon or SUV. Cartridge life will depend primarily on the amount of time the unit is operated.
Always position the unit securely so that it cannot interfere with the driver, pedals, controls or safe operation of the vehicle.
How long does a Road Kit cartridge last?
The supplied cartridge contains 20ml of The Neutralizer Road Kit formulation.
According to the manufacturer, one cartridge can last for up to 45 days when operated for approximately 2 hours per day.
When operated continuously, manufacturer guidance gives a total service life of approximately 80-92 hours. Actual cartridge life will therefore depend on the operating pattern.
Replacement Road Kit cartridges allow the EME-320 electronic unit to be reused once the original refill has been exhausted.
Suitable for persistent vehicle odours
Vehicle interiors contain upholstery, carpets, headlining and other materials that can retain unwanted smells. The Neutralizer Road Kit is designed for situations where these persistent odours require more than a conventional fragranced car air freshener.
Potential applications include vehicles affected by persistent:
- Smoke-related odours
- Food smells
- Pet odours
- Organic and plant-related smells
- General stale vehicle odours
- Other persistent unwanted smells within the cabin
Where the underlying source of an odour is contamination, damp, mould, spilled material or another physical problem, the source should also be identified and properly cleaned or corrected.
Replaceable 20ml Road Kit cartridges
The Road Kit is a refillable system rather than a single-use vehicle air freshener. Once the supplied 20ml cartridge has reached the end of its service life, it can be replaced with the dedicated RKC-20 Road Kit Cartridge.
Road Kit cartridges are specifically intended for the vehicle system, so use the correct replacement cartridge rather than cartridges intended for the Neutralizer Compact or Pro systems.

A concentrated foliar treatment for preventative and curative use against common plant pests including spider mites, aphids, thrips and whitefly.
Ecolizer Bugs Away is a concentrated foliar pest-control treatment based on a combination of potassium salts and fatty acids. It is designed to help growers manage common sap-feeding pests while fitting into a regular crop-care programme.
Bugs Away can be used against red spider mites, aphids, thrips and whitefly, with Ecolizer product information also highlighting its effectiveness against both larval and adult stages of red spider mite.
The formulation is biodegradable and does not leave residue behind on the foliage. It can be used preventatively before pest populations become established or more frequently as a curative treatment when an infestation is present.
Why choose Ecolizer Bugs Away?
- Targets common plant pests – suitable for use against spider mites, aphids, thrips and whitefly.
- Effective against red spider mite life stages – Ecolizer specifically identifies activity against larval and adult red spider mites.
- Preventative or curative use – incorporate it into routine crop protection or use it more frequently when pests are already present.
- Potassium salts and fatty acids – the established Bugs Away formulation is based on this combination.
- Biodegradable formulation – designed to break down after application.
- No residue left on foliage – useful where clean leaf surfaces are important.
- Concentrated formula – dilute with water before foliar application.
- Thorough foliar coverage – designed for application to both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
What pests can Ecolizer Bugs Away be used against?
Ecolizer Bugs Away is intended for foliar pest management and is particularly relevant where crops are affected by red spider mites, aphids, thrips or whitefly.
Thorough coverage matters when treating foliage. Pests such as spider mites commonly occupy protected areas on the underside of leaves, so Bugs Away should be applied across both upper and lower leaf surfaces rather than simply misted over the top of the crop.
Bugs Away can also be introduced preventatively before an infestation becomes established. This makes it suitable for growers who want to incorporate regular foliar monitoring and treatment into their wider pest-management programme.
How to use Ecolizer Bugs Away
Dilute Ecolizer Bugs Away at 10–20ml per litre of water. Apply as a foliar spray, thoroughly wetting both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves.
For preventative treatment, apply once per week from the beginning of the crop cycle until flower formation begins.
For curative treatment, apply twice per week. Where pest pressure is particularly severe, the established Ecolizer instructions allow treatment up to three times per week.
Avoid application in direct sunlight. Ecolizer's product guidance also advises against using Bugs Away once bud formation begins.

A concentrated 0-0-0 flowering biostimulant designed to support flower quality, aroma and strong crop development throughout bloom.
Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X is a flowering supplement developed to support high-value crops as they move through bloom. Rather than acting as another NPK fertiliser, its role is to complement the existing base nutrient and flowering programme as a specialist biostimulant.
Advanced Nutrients positions Bud Factor X around the development of high-quality, resinous flowers with strong aroma, flavour and valuable plant compounds. It is also associated with supporting robust plant and stem development as crops carry increasing flower mass.
The 5L format is particularly useful for commercial growers, larger reservoirs and repeated flowering cycles. At the recommended 2ml/L application concentration, 5L provides 2,500 litres' worth of individual treatment solution.
Why choose Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X?
- Specialist flowering biostimulant – developed specifically to complement feeding programmes during bloom.
- Supports flower quality – formulated around the development of high-value flowers with desirable crop characteristics.
- Supports aroma & flavour development – Advanced Nutrients positions Bud Factor X for crops where flower quality and valuable aromatic compounds matter.
- Supports robust crop development – designed to complement plant and stem performance as flowering progresses.
- 0-0-0 formulation – works as a biostimulant rather than another conventional NPK base nutrient.
- 2ml/L application concentration – straightforward measuring for small tanks and commercial reservoirs alike.
- Weekly flowering application – current UK guidance specifies use once per week during flowering.
- Hydroponic & coco compatible – suitable for diverse hydroponic media, coco coir and continuous liquid-feed systems.
- Commercial 5L format – well suited to larger growing facilities and repeated flowering programmes.
What is Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X suitable for?
Bud Factor X is designed for flowering crops where growers want to add a specialist biostimulant alongside their normal base nutrient and bloom supplements. Its role is focused on crop quality rather than simply increasing the NPK concentration of the nutrient solution.
For Creation's crop-stage guidance, Bud Factor X is best treated as a flowering-stage supplement. Apply it once per week through the flowering feeding period, then discontinue it for the final flush.
Advanced Nutrients identifies Bud Factor X as suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation, regular watering, irrigation systems, hydroponics and coco coir. It is also designed for continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nutrient film technique (NFT), flood and drain and deep water culture (DWC).
How to use Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X
Use Bud Factor X at 2ml per litre once per week during flowering. Add it as part of the normal flowering nutrient programme and discontinue use when the crop enters its final flush.
At 2ml/L, a 10L treatment requires 20ml, 50L requires 100ml and 100L requires 200ml. For larger commercial reservoirs, 500L requires 1L of Bud Factor X for an individual weekly treatment.
Shake the container thoroughly before measuring to ensure the formulation is evenly mixed before it is added to the nutrient solution.

What does Bud Factor X do?
Bud Factor X is designed to create favourable conditions for the development of high-quality flowers. Advanced Nutrients positions it around flower quality, aroma, flavour and valuable plant compounds rather than simply supplying additional NPK.
Is Bud Factor X a bloom booster?
It is a flowering supplement, but it works differently from a conventional phosphorus and potassium bloom booster. Bud Factor X has an NPK of 0-0-0 and is better described as a flowering biostimulant used alongside the main nutrient and bloom programme.
What is the NPK of Bud Factor X?
Advanced Nutrients Bud Factor X has an NPK analysis of 0-0-0.
How much Bud Factor X should I use?
Use Bud Factor X at 2ml per litre of nutrient solution. Current UK application guidance specifies using this treatment once per week during flowering.
Do I use Bud Factor X at every feed?
No. Current application guidance specifies a 2ml/L treatment once per week during the flowering stage rather than adding Bud Factor X to every feed.
When should I use Bud Factor X?
Use Bud Factor X during the flowering feeding period. Continue the weekly application as flowering develops and discontinue it for the final flush.
How much Bud Factor X do I need for 10 litres?
A 10L treatment requires 20ml of Bud Factor X at the recommended 2ml/L concentration.
How much Bud Factor X do I need for 100 litres?
Use 200ml of Bud Factor X for a 100L treatment at 2ml/L.
How much Bud Factor X do I need for a 500L reservoir?

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 concentrated 1-3-8 mid-flowering bloom booster developed with a potassium-led PK profile for Kush genetics.
Advanced Nutrients Kushie Kush is a specialised flowering supplement developed around the nutritional characteristics of Kush genetics. Rather than following the very high-phosphorus approach used by many conventional bloom boosters, Kushie Kush has a distinctive 1-3-8 NPK profile with a greater emphasis on potassium.
Designed for the period when established flowers are actively developing, Kushie Kush complements the normal flowering base nutrient rather than replacing it. Its concentrated 2ml/L application rate also makes the 4L size particularly practical for larger reservoirs and regular feeding programmes.
Kushie Kush can be incorporated into Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect feeding programmes, as well as compatible programmes using base nutrients and supplements from other manufacturers.
Why choose Advanced Nutrients Kushie Kush?
- Developed for Kush genetics – a specialist bloom supplement formulated around the flowering requirements of Kush varieties.
- 1-3-8 NPK – provides a distinctive potassium-led PK profile with considerably more potassium than phosphorus.
- Designed for mid flowering – targets the period when established flowers are actively developing.
- Concentrated 2ml/L application rate – economical dosing for larger tanks and reservoirs.
- Works alongside base nutrients – complements the flowering feed rather than replacing the crop's primary nutrition.
- Flexible nutrient compatibility – suitable for use alongside Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect programmes, as well as compatible third-party nutrients.
- Suitable for hydroponic systems – can be used in aeroponics, drip irrigation, NFT, flood and drain and deep water culture.
What is Kushie Kush suitable for?
Kushie Kush is intended for growers working with Kush and Kush-lineage genetics who want a flowering supplement developed specifically around these plants rather than a general-purpose PK booster.
Use it during the middle part of flowering, once flowers are established and actively developing. It is not intended for propagation or vegetative growth, and it is withdrawn as the crop progresses into late flowering and finishing.
Kushie Kush is suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation, regular watering and hydroponic watering systems. It can also be used in continuous liquid-feed systems including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nutrient film technique (NFT), flood and drain and deep water culture (DWC).
How to use Advanced Nutrients Kushie Kush
Shake the container thoroughly before use. Prepare the normal flowering nutrient solution using the appropriate base nutrient, mixing each product thoroughly into the water as it is added.
Add Kushie Kush at 2ml per litre during the mid-flowering phase. Introduce it once flowers are established and continue through the main period of active flower development before withdrawing it as the crop moves into late flowering and finishing.
For a 10L nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 50L, use 100ml. For a 100L reservoir, use 200ml.
Do not use Kushie Kush as a replacement for the flowering base nutrient. It is a concentrated flowering supplement designed to work alongside the normal feeding programme.

Please sign in to see pricing
Atami Kilomix 50L is a heavily fertilised peat and perlite growing substrate enriched with mineral and organic nutrition, providing demanding plants with a rich growing medium and sustained nutrient availability.
Atami Kilomix is one of the most nutrient-rich growing substrates in the Atami range. It combines peat and perlite with a substantial fertiliser charge designed to provide plants with important nutrients over an extended period.
The substrate is enriched with ingredients including Atami Worm Delight, lime, guano and other organic fertilisers, alongside mineral nutrition. This combination provides both readily available nutrition and a longer-lasting nutrient contribution as the crop develops.
Unlike a lightly fertilised substrate where the grower begins introducing a complete liquid feeding programme relatively early, Kilomix provides a much richer nutritional foundation from the outset. Atami describes the professionally balanced fertiliser composition as providing a constant supply of important nutrients over a longer period.
Perlite helps maintain an aerated physical structure and effective water management around the root zone, while the peat provides the main growing medium. The result is a nutrient-rich substrate particularly suited to established and demanding plants.
Why choose Atami Kilomix?
- Heavily fertilised growing medium – one of Atami's richer substrates for plants requiring substantial nutrition.
- Peat & perlite formulation – combines a peat-based growing medium with perlite for improved aeration and water management.
- Mineral & organic nutrition – combines different nutrient sources to provide immediate and longer-term nutritional support.
- Contains Worm Delight – incorporates Atami's worm humus-based soil enhancer as part of the enriched formulation.
- Contains guano – included as part of Kilomix's rich organic nutrient package.
- Contains lime – incorporated into the professionally formulated substrate.
- Sustained nutrient availability – formulated to provide important nutrients over an extended period.
- Reduced requirement for immediate feeding – the high initial fertilisation level means established plants begin in an already nutrient-rich medium.
- Suitable for demanding crops – particularly useful where a richer substrate is preferred from the beginning.
- Professional 50L format – suitable for individual pots as well as larger-scale and commercial growing applications.
What plants is Atami Kilomix suitable for?
Kilomix is designed for growers looking for a strongly fertilised substrate rather than a lightly charged growing medium. It is particularly useful for established plants and crops with relatively high nutritional requirements.
Because Kilomix has a significantly higher fertilisation level than Atami Janeco-Light-Mix, growers should take the existing nutrient charge into account before adding further fertiliser.
For very young seedlings, freshly rooted cuttings or particularly nutrient-sensitive varieties, a lighter substrate may offer greater control over early nutrition. Atami Janeco-Light-Mix is specifically positioned as a lightly fertilised substrate suitable for young plants and cuttings, whereas Kilomix is the richer option for more demanding growth.
Kilomix can be used for container-grown crops, indoor or protected cultivation and other soil-style growing applications where a nutrient-rich peat-based substrate is appropriate.
How to use Atami Kilomix
Fill the required container with Kilomix, allowing the substrate to remain naturally loose rather than compressing it excessively. Transplant the established plant into the substrate and water thoroughly to settle the growing medium around the root system.
Because Kilomix is already heavily fertilised, additional base fertiliser should not automatically be applied immediately after transplanting. Monitor the plants and allow their condition and stage of development to determine when additional nutrition becomes necessary.
The existing nutrient charge should also be considered when measuring the strength of any subsequent feed programme. Introducing a strong liquid fertiliser immediately into an already highly fertilised substrate can result in excessive nutrient levels.
Irrigation frequency should be adjusted according to plant size, container volume, temperature, humidity and crop water demand. Allow appropriate moisture cycling while avoiding prolonged waterlogging or allowing the root zone to become excessively dry.
Why is Kilomix more heavily fertilised?
Atami positions Kilomix above Janeco-Light-Mix in terms of fertilisation level. Its formulation combines mineral fertilisers with organic nutrient sources, giving growers a rich substrate capable of supporting crop development over an extended period.
Mineral nutrition can provide nutrients that are readily available to plants, while organic components contribute to the longer-term nutrient supply within the growing medium. Atami describes this combination as providing a constant supply of important nutrients over a prolonged period.
Kilomix includes Worm Delight, lime, guano and other organic fertilisers. Together with the peat and perlite base, these ingredients create a substantially richer environment than a lightly fertilised propagation or starter substrate.
The result is a growing medium designed for growers who want more nutrition incorporated into the substrate itself, rather than relying entirely on liquid fertilisers from the beginning of cultivation.
Peat and perlite for balanced root-zone conditions
Nutrition is only one part of a successful growing medium. Kilomix combines its substantial fertiliser charge with peat and perlite to create an effective physical environment around the roots.
Peat provides moisture retention and the main structural body of the substrate, while perlite introduces additional pore space. This helps maintain aeration and drainage within the root zone while retaining sufficient moisture for plant uptake.
Maintaining the correct balance between water and oxygen is important for healthy root development, particularly in containers where excessive compaction or saturation can restrict root-zone aeration.

The main difference is fertilisation level. Janeco-Light-Mix is lightly fertilised and particularly useful for young plants and growers who want greater control over feeding. Kilomix is heavily fertilised and provides substantially more incorporated nutrition for established and demanding plants.
What is the difference between Atami Kilomix and Bi Grow Mix?
Kilomix is a heavily fertilised peat and perlite substrate. Atami Bi Grow Mix combines peat with coco fibre and has a medium level of fertilisation, positioning it between a light starter mix and the richer Kilomix.
Can Atami Kilomix be used throughout the crop cycle?
Kilomix can provide the growing medium for established plants through continued crop development. Its incorporated nutrient supply will gradually be used by the plant, so additional nutrition may eventually be required according to crop demand and growing conditions.
Is Atami Kilomix suitable for professional horticulture?
Yes. The 50L format can be used for larger container-growing operations and professional horticultural applications where a heavily fertilised peat and perlite substrate is appropriate for the crop.
How should Atami Kilomix be watered?
Water according to plant size, container volume, environmental conditions and crop demand. The aim is to maintain adequate moisture while preserving oxygen within the root zone and avoiding prolonged saturation.
How many 50L bags of Atami Kilomix are on a pallet?
A full pallet contains 70 x 50L bags of Atami Kilomix.

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.

High-output 30L/min air pump supplied with a 6-way manifold for powerful, reliable aeration across DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and multiple air stones.
The Hailea ACO-9810 is a high-output diaphragm air pump designed for hydroponic systems that need considerably more aeration than a standard multi-outlet aquarium-style pump. Delivering up to 30 litres of air per minute, equivalent to 1,800 litres per hour, it provides a strong central air supply for larger reservoirs and multi-pot growing systems.
The ACO-9810 is supplied with a 6-way manifold, allowing its main air supply to be divided between several separate airline runs. This makes it particularly useful for DWC and RDWC systems where multiple pots or air stones need to be aerated from a single pump.
Hailea uses a double air chamber, oil-free diaphragm system together with vibration and sound-reducing features. The result is substantial airflow and pressure while maintaining a rated operating noise level below 40dB.
Why choose the Hailea ACO-9810 Air Pump?
- 30L/min maximum airflow – delivers up to 1,800 litres of air per hour for demanding hydroponic aeration.
- 6-way manifold supplied – distribute the pump's output between multiple airline runs and air stones.
- Ideal for DWC and RDWC – well suited to larger reservoirs and multi-pot hydroponic systems.
- Strong air pressure – rated above 0.025MPa for driving air through submerged diffusers.
- Low-noise design – double damping and vibration reduction help keep operating noise below 40dB.
- Oil-free operation – provides clean compressed air without oil lubrication in the air path.
- 25W power consumption – efficient operation for a pump delivering up to 30L/min.
High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs
The ACO-9810 is a strong choice when one central air pump needs to supply several aeration points. The supplied 6-way manifold allows separate airline runs to feed individual DWC pots, air stones or diffusers positioned throughout a larger nutrient reservoir.
Its 30L/min capacity also makes it useful for applications where smaller multi-outlet pumps do not provide enough airflow. Alongside hydroponic nutrient aeration, it can be used for propagation systems and other horticultural setups requiring a dependable continuous air supply.
The 30L/min rating is the maximum total airflow from the pump. When several manifold outlets are used, this airflow is shared between the connected lines rather than each outlet independently producing 30L/min.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9810
Place the pump on a firm, stable surface above the water level of your reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet using the connecting hose, then attach compatible airline to the manifold outlets you intend to use.
Connect suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keep airline runs as direct as practical and avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict airflow.
Airflow from the pump is divided between the connected manifold outlets. Airline length, water depth and the resistance created by individual air stones will all influence the amount of air reaching each diffuser.
Inspect the manifold, airline and air stones periodically. Mineral deposits and other blockages in an air stone can increase resistance and reduce aeration, so cleaning or replacing restricted diffusers will help maintain consistent performance.

Ideal for multi-pot DWC and reservoir aeration
The ACO-9630 comes into its own when several air stones need to be supplied from one central pump. Its eight outlets allow separate lengths of airline to be run directly to individual DWC pots, reservoirs or diffusers.
For an eight-pot DWC installation, for example, each outlet can supply its own airline and air stone. Alternatively, fewer outlets can be used where the system requires a smaller number of aeration points.
The adjustable output gives growers additional control over the amount of air being supplied, making the pump useful for both multi-pot hydroponic systems and larger nutrient reservoirs.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9630
Position the air pump on a firm, level surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect compatible 4mm airline to the required outlets at the front of the pump, then connect an air stone or suitable diffuser to the opposite end of each airline.
Place the air stones in the nutrient solution and switch on the pump. The rotary control on top of the ACO-9630 can then be used to adjust the overall airflow to suit the system.
Keep airline runs free from kinks and unnecessary restrictions. Where the pump cannot be positioned above water level, suitable non-return valves should be installed in the airline to help prevent water travelling back towards the pump when it is switched off.
Periodically inspect the pump, airline and diffusers to make sure airflow remains consistent. The ACO-9630 uses replaceable diaphragms, allowing the pump to be serviced as these components wear over time.

Please sign in to see pricing
317mm (12.5") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is a large-diameter acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-volume extraction and intake systems.
Large extraction systems can move substantial volumes of air, but increased airflow can also make ventilation noise more noticeable. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission through the ductwork while maintaining the flexibility required for installation around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful for larger grow rooms, horticultural facilities and other controlled environments where powerful ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods.
Supplied as a 5 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it can be used as a continuous duct run or cut into shorter sections to suit the ventilation layout.
Why choose 317mm acoustic silent ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted along the ductwork.
- Large 317mm / 12.5" diameter - designed for compatible high-volume ventilation equipment.
- 5 metre length - suitable for substantial duct runs or cutting into shorter sections.
- Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
- Suitable for extraction systems - use with appropriately sized fans, filters and ventilation fittings.
- Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Ideal for larger growing environments - useful where high airflow and noise control are both important considerations.
- Cut to suit - use only the length required for the installation to avoid unnecessary duct resistance.
How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?
Ventilation noise can originate from several sources, including the extraction fan itself, vibration and turbulent air moving through filters, bends and ductwork. Some of this sound can travel through ordinary flexible ducting and become noticeable elsewhere in the ventilation system.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps limit the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct route.
It is particularly useful immediately before or after extraction fans, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where reducing transmitted noise is desirable.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct length, bends and installation quality all influence the final sound level.
Large-diameter ducting for grow room ventilation
Larger indoor growing environments can require substantial airflow to remove excess heat and humidity and maintain a regular exchange of air. High-capacity extraction fans and carbon filters therefore commonly require larger-diameter ductwork.
The generous 317mm diameter allows this ducting to be paired with compatible large ventilation equipment while the acoustic insulation helps control noise travelling through the system.
It can be used for both extraction and intake routes, making it suitable for building complete ventilation systems in grow rooms and other indoor horticultural environments.
Maintaining efficient airflow
Correct duct installation is particularly important with high-volume ventilation systems. Every metre of duct, bend and fitting creates resistance that the extraction fan must overcome.
Extend flexible ducting sufficiently rather than leaving long sections heavily compressed. A properly extended duct creates a smoother internal airflow path and reduces unnecessary resistance.
Keep the route as short and direct as practical. Avoid crushing the duct, creating excessively tight bends or leaving unnecessary lengths coiled within the installation.
If the full 5m length is not required, the ducting can be cut to the appropriate length for the installation.
Installing 317mm Mute Silent Ducting
Plan the complete ventilation route before cutting or installing the duct. Check that the fan, filter and any connectors or fittings are compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size.
Connect the inner flexible duct securely around the equipment connection using a suitably sized duct clamp or fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection to maintain the acoustic layer as effectively as possible.
Because large-diameter insulated ducting can become relatively bulky over longer runs, provide suitable support rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible ventilation equipment
The ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:
- Compatible large-diameter inline extraction fans
- Compatible carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ducting
- Metal duct connectors
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Suitable duct clamps and fixing accessories
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal ventilation sizes and the exact outside diameter of individual fittings can vary slightly between manufacturers.

317mm (12.5") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork. What size is this ducting?
This version has a nominal diameter of 317mm, approximately 12.5 inches, and is supplied in a 5m length. What is 317mm ducting used for?
Its large diameter makes it suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems used in larger grow rooms and other environments requiring substantial extraction or intake airflow. Does acoustic ducting make an extraction system silent?
No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork but cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or airflow noise. Is it quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting. Can I connect it to a carbon filter?
Yes, provided the carbon filter connection is compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size. Can I use it with an extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for use as part of a compatible ventilation system and can be connected to appropriately sized extraction equipment. Can this ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be used for compatible intake systems as well as extraction ductwork. Can the 5m duct be cut?
Yes. It can be cut into the length or individual sections required for the ventilation installation. Does the length of ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Longer duct runs create additional resistance, so using the shortest practical route can help maintain effective airflow. Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?
Bends increase resistance, particularly when they are sharp or tightly compressed. Smooth, gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Should flexible ducting be fully stretched?
It should be sufficiently extended for the required route rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive internal corrugation can increase airflow resistance. How should large acoustic ducting be supported?
Use suitable supports along the duct route so that the weight of the ducting is not carried entirely by the extraction fan, filter or connecting fittings. Can acoustic ducting be used with a ventilation silencer?
Yes. Combining acoustic ducting with a compatible ventilation silencer can provide additional control of sound transmitted through an extraction system. What else can help reduce grow room extraction noise?
Good duct routing, suitable fan sizing, vibration isolation, appropriate fan-speed control and compatible silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation installation.

Collapsible alternative to a rigid water butt
A conventional rigid water butt continues to occupy its full footprint even when it is completely empty. The Pipeline Flexible Tank provides a more adaptable approach to garden water storage.
Its flexible cylindrical body is held in shape by vertical supports during use. Once the tank has been drained, it can be dismantled so that it occupies considerably less space when stored.
This makes the 100L tank particularly useful where available outdoor space is limited or where water storage is only required during certain parts of the year.
Collect rainwater for garden use
Rainwater collected from a suitable roof and guttering arrangement can provide a useful supplementary supply for garden watering. A suitable rainwater collection or diverter arrangement can be used to direct rainfall into the Pipeline tank rather than allowing all of it to flow directly into the drainage system.
The stored rainwater can then be drawn upon for suitable watering applications around the garden, helping maintain a convenient reserve between periods of rainfall.
The 100 litre size makes this model particularly useful for customers who want meaningful storage capacity without installing one of the larger tanks in the range.
Setting up the Pipeline 100L Flexible Tank
Position the tank on a firm, stable and level surface before filling. Clear away sharp stones, protrusions and other objects that could potentially damage the flexible base.
Assemble the flexible body and supporting structure according to the supplied instructions. When collecting water from guttering, use a suitable rainwater collection arrangement for the individual installation.
Select the final position before filling the tank. Water is heavy, so the tank should be emptied before attempting to move or dismantle it.
Easy access to collected water
An integrated outlet towards the bottom of the Pipeline Flexible Tank provides convenient access to the stored water when it is needed.
This makes it straightforward to transfer water for garden use without repeatedly accessing the tank from the top. The external graduated markings also provide a quick visual reference for monitoring the approximate amount of water remaining.
Simple seasonal care & storage
Keep the tank and any connected rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically check the inlet and outlet to ensure that water can flow freely.
When the tank is no longer required, drain the remaining water and allow the flexible body to dry before dismantling it. Store the tank and its supporting components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.
The collapsible construction makes the Pipeline 100L particularly convenient for seasonal use because it does not need to occupy its full assembled footprint throughout the year.

317mm (12.5") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is a large-diameter acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-volume extraction and intake systems.
Large ventilation systems can move substantial volumes of air, but powerful extraction fans and high airflow rates can also generate noticeable noise. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission through the ductwork while retaining the flexibility required for routing around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful for larger grow rooms, indoor horticultural facilities and other controlled environments where high-capacity ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods.
Supplied as a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it is well suited to longer ventilation routes and can also be cut into shorter sections where required.
Why choose 317mm acoustic silent ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- Large 317mm / 12.5" diameter - suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems.
- 10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into several individual sections.
- Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
- Suitable for extraction systems - use with appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
- Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Ideal for larger grow rooms - particularly useful where high airflow and ventilation noise control are both important.
- Cut to the required length - the 10m roll provides flexibility when designing larger or more complex ventilation installations.
How does acoustic ducting help reduce noise?
Ventilation noise can originate from the extraction fan, vibration and turbulent air moving through filters, fittings and ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible ducting and become noticeable at other points in the ventilation system.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct route.
It can be particularly useful immediately before or after powerful extraction fans, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where controlling transmitted sound is important.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce transmitted ventilation noise rather than make a system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct routing and installation quality all influence the final sound level.
Large-diameter ducting for high-volume grow room ventilation
Larger indoor growing environments can require substantial airflow to remove excess heat and humidity and maintain a regular exchange of air. High-capacity extraction systems therefore commonly use larger fans, filters and ductwork.
The 317mm / 12.5" diameter makes this ducting suitable for compatible large-scale ventilation installations, while the acoustic insulation helps control the noise transmitted through the ductwork.
The 10m length is particularly useful for larger rooms, longer exhaust routes and installations where several sections of acoustic ducting are required.
Maintaining efficient airflow
Correct duct installation is important in any extraction system, particularly where large volumes of air are being moved. Every metre of ducting, bend and fitting creates resistance that the ventilation fan must overcome.
Extend flexible ducting sufficiently rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. A properly extended duct provides a smoother internal airflow path and reduces unnecessary resistance.
Keep the route as short and direct as the installation allows. Avoid crushing the duct, creating excessively tight bends or leaving unnecessary lengths coiled within the ventilation system.
Although this product provides 10m of ducting, there is no requirement to use the complete length in a single run. Cutting the duct to the required length can help keep the system efficient.
Installing 317mm Mute Silent Ducting
Plan the ventilation route before cutting the duct and check that the fan, filter and any connectors or fittings are compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" size.
Connect the inner flexible duct securely around the compatible ventilation connection using a suitably sized duct clamp or fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Large-diameter insulated ducting can become relatively bulky over a long run. Provide suitable support along the route rather than allowing the entire weight of the duct to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.
Compatible ventilation equipment
This ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:
- Compatible large-diameter inline extraction fans
- Compatible carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ventilation ducting
- Metal duct connectors
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Suitable duct clamps and fixing accessories
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal ventilation sizes and the exact outside diameter of individual fittings can vary slightly between manufacturers.

317mm (12.5") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork. What size is this ducting?
This version has a nominal diameter of 317mm, approximately 12.5 inches, and is supplied in a 10m length. What is 317mm ducting used for?
Its large diameter makes it suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems used in larger grow rooms and other environments requiring substantial extraction or intake airflow. Does acoustic ducting make an extraction system silent?
No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork but cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or airflow noise. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting. Can I connect it to a carbon filter?
Yes, provided the carbon filter connection is compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size. Can I use it with an extraction fan?
Yes. It can be connected to appropriately sized extraction equipment as part of a compatible ventilation system. Can this ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be used for compatible intake systems as well as extraction ductwork. Can I cut the 10m roll into shorter lengths?
Yes. The duct can be cut to suit the installation, allowing the roll to be used for one long ventilation route or several shorter sections. Should I use the entire 10m length?
Only where the installation requires it. Using the shortest practical duct route generally helps minimise airflow resistance. Does duct length affect extraction performance?
Yes. Longer duct runs create additional resistance, particularly when combined with multiple bends and fittings. Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?
Bends increase resistance, especially when they are sharp or tightly compressed. Smooth, gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Should flexible ducting be fully extended?
It should be sufficiently extended for the required route rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive internal corrugation can increase airflow resistance. How should a long run of acoustic ducting be supported?
Use suitable supports along the route so that the weight of the ducting is not carried entirely by the extraction fan, carbon filter or connecting fittings. What else can help reduce extraction-system noise?
Good duct routing, suitable fan sizing, vibration isolation, appropriate fan-speed control and compatible ventilation silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation installation.

317mm (12.5") x 5m Acoustic Ducting is a large-diameter insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-capacity extraction and intake systems.
Powerful ventilation systems generate sound from both the fan itself and the movement of large volumes of air. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, commercial growing areas and controlled growing environments where substantial ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and controlling unnecessary noise is important.
Supplied in a 5 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible high-capacity fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut to the required length during installation.
Why choose 317mm acoustic ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 317mm / 12.5" diameter - designed for compatible large-diameter ventilation equipment.
- 5 metre length - suitable for substantial duct runs or cutting into shorter sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - allows large ductwork to be routed around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for high-capacity air removal from controlled growing environments.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - install only the amount required for a clean and efficient ventilation route.
- Suitable for larger horticultural environments - ideal where substantial airflow and reduced transmitted noise are both required.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. With larger ventilation systems, substantial airflow can make transmitted sound particularly noticeable.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct route.
It can be particularly useful around high-capacity extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along sections of ductwork where transmitted ventilation noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Large-diameter acoustic ducting for indoor horticulture
Larger indoor horticultural environments can require substantial air movement to manage temperature, humidity and air exchange. High-capacity extraction and intake systems can consequently become a significant source of environmental-control noise.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect large ventilation components and route air through the installation.
The 317mm / 12.5" diameter is suitable for compatible high-capacity ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Correct installation is particularly important with large-diameter ventilation systems. Every length of duct, bend and fitting introduces resistance that the fan must overcome.
Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed. This provides a smoother internal path for moving air and helps minimise unnecessary resistance and turbulence.
Keep the ventilation route as short and direct as practical. Avoid crushed sections and excessively tight bends, using gradual changes in direction wherever possible.
The supplied 5m length does not need to be used in full. Cutting the duct to the length actually required can help maintain an efficient airflow path.
Installing 317mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 317mm / 12.5" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Large-diameter insulated ducting can become bulky and relatively heavy over longer runs. Support the duct appropriately rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or connecting fitting.
Compatible ventilation equipment
- Compatible 317mm / 12.5" inline extraction fans
- Compatible large-diameter carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ductwork
- Duct connectors and couplers
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Duct clamps and fixing accessories
Check the actual connection diameter of individual ventilation components before installation, as nominal sizes and connection dimensions can vary between manufacturers.

Breathable fabric for root development
As roots reach the more aerated outer area of a fabric pot, their growth pattern can differ from roots meeting an impermeable container wall. This can encourage a more branched root system rather than allowing long roots simply to circle the inside of a rigid pot.
Results depend on crop, substrate, irrigation and environment, so fabric pots should be treated as part of the overall growing system rather than as a substitute for good root-zone management.
Growing in fabric pots
Use a growing medium appropriate to the crop, with sufficient structure, drainage and moisture retention. Fill evenly without excessive compaction and position the pot on a surface that allows drainage.
Fabric containers can lose moisture through their sides as well as the growing-medium surface. Check moisture regularly, particularly in warm, bright or windy conditions, and adjust irrigation to actual crop demand.
Professional & garden applications

How RootMASS air pruning works
Roots growing inside a conventional smooth-sided plastic pot eventually reach the container wall. Because the wall is solid, the roots can begin following the shape of the pot, producing the familiar circling pattern often seen when a plant is removed from a traditional container.
A RootMASS fabric pot creates a different environment at the edge of the root zone. The porous fabric allows air to reach the growing medium, and when an actively growing root tip reaches this area its forward growth is naturally restricted.
The plant responds by producing additional branches further back along the root. Repeated throughout the container, this process encourages the development of a dense network of finer feeder roots throughout the available growing medium.
Space-efficient square fabric pot
The square design is particularly useful when several plants are being grown alongside one another. Square containers can be positioned closely together without the larger gaps naturally created between round pots.
This makes the RootMASS 11L useful on growing benches, irrigation trays and other areas where efficient use of available space is important.
The flexible fabric construction also offers a significant storage advantage. Once empty, the pots can be flattened and stored in a fraction of the space required for equivalent rigid containers.
Excellent drainage & root-zone aeration
RootMASS fabric pots are breathable throughout their walls rather than relying solely on openings in the base of a conventional pot. This allows air exchange around the growing medium while providing free drainage for excess irrigation.
The combination of drainage and aeration helps create a well-oxygenated root environment when the pot is used with a suitable growing medium and irrigation programme.
Because the sides of the pot are breathable, the growing medium can dry differently from the same medium in a solid plastic container. Moisture levels should therefore be monitored and irrigation adjusted to suit the plant and conditions.
Suitable for a wide range of growing media
RootMASS fabric pots can be used with suitable soil and compost mixes, coco-based substrates and other compatible container-growing media.
The 11 litre size provides useful root volume while retaining a relatively compact footprint. This makes it a versatile option for ornamental, flowering, fruiting and productive plants where an 11 litre final or intermediate container is appropriate.
Always select the growing medium, irrigation method and feeding programme according to the requirements of the particular plant being grown.
Watering plants in an 11L fabric pot
Fabric pots can dry more quickly than equivalent solid-sided containers because moisture can leave through the breathable walls as well as from the surface of the growing medium.
Rather than following a fixed watering timetable, check moisture levels regularly and irrigate according to the needs of the plant. Temperature, airflow, plant size, growing medium and stage of growth can all affect how frequently watering is required.
A suitable saucer or irrigation tray can be positioned underneath the RootMASS pot where runoff needs to be collected or contained.
Integrated handles for easier positioning
Integrated handles provide convenient handholds when positioning the RootMASS pot. This is particularly useful when arranging multiple containers or relocating an established plant.
Remember that the final weight of a planted 11 litre container will depend on the growing medium, its moisture content and the plant itself. Take appropriate care when moving a filled pot and support the container where necessary.

RootMASS Square Fabric Pot 11L FAQs
What is a RootMASS fabric pot?
A RootMASS fabric pot is a breathable alternative to a conventional rigid plant pot. Its porous walls provide drainage and aeration while encouraging natural air pruning at the edge of the root zone. What does air pruning do?
When an actively growing root reaches the breathable edge of the container, exposure to air restricts growth at the root tip. The root responds by branching further back, encouraging a more fibrous root structure. Do fabric pots help reduce circling roots?
Yes. The breathable fabric encourages air pruning rather than providing the solid wall that can cause roots to continue growing around the perimeter of a conventional pot. Why choose a square RootMASS pot?
Square containers can be positioned closely together, helping make efficient use of available bench, floor or irrigation tray space. Does an 11L fabric pot need drainage holes?
The porous fabric itself allows excess irrigation to drain through the container, so it does not depend on conventional drainage holes in the same way as a solid plastic pot. Can I use coco in the RootMASS 11L?
Yes. RootMASS fabric pots can be used with suitable coco-based growing media as well as appropriate compost and soil-based container mixes. Can I put the pot on a saucer or irrigation tray?
Yes. A suitable saucer or tray can be positioned beneath the pot where irrigation runoff needs to be collected or managed. Will an 11L fabric pot need watering more often than a plastic pot?
It can. Breathable fabric allows moisture to leave through the container walls, so check the growing medium regularly and adjust irrigation according to the plant, substrate and environmental conditions. Can RootMASS fabric pots be reused?
Fabric pots can be emptied, cleaned and thoroughly dried between uses where their condition remains suitable for reuse. Can RootMASS pots be stored flat?
Yes. Their flexible construction allows empty pots to be flattened, making them much more compact to store than equivalent rigid containers.

The RootMASS Square Fabric Pot 17L is a breathable fabric growing container measuring W27cm x D27cm x H25cm, designed to encourage a healthy, fibrous root system through natural air pruning. Its square footprint makes efficient use of growing space, while integrated handles make the pot easier to position and move when required.
Unlike conventional solid-sided plastic pots, the breathable fabric construction allows air to reach the outer area of the growing medium. When actively growing roots reach the edge of the container, exposure to air naturally restricts the root tip. The plant responds by producing additional lateral and feeder roots rather than allowing the roots to continually circle around the inside of the pot.
This air-pruning effect encourages a more branched root structure throughout the growing medium. Combined with excellent drainage and increased root-zone aeration, the RootMASS 17L offers a practical alternative to conventional rigid plant pots for a wide range of container-growing applications.

- Compact when empty - flexible fabric construction allows the pot to be flattened for convenient storage.
How does a RootMASS fabric pot air prune roots?
Roots growing inside a conventional smooth-sided plastic pot eventually reach the container wall. Because the solid wall prevents further outward growth, roots can begin following the shape of the container, potentially creating a mass of circling roots around the outside of the growing medium.
RootMASS fabric pots work differently. Their breathable walls allow air to reach the outer edge of the root zone. When an actively growing root tip reaches this air-rich area, growth at the tip is naturally restricted.
The plant responds by developing additional branches further back along the root. As the process continues throughout the container, it encourages a network of finer roots rather than a small number of long roots circling the pot wall.
Square design for efficient growing spaces
Measuring 27cm wide x 27cm deep, the RootMASS 17L has a compact square footprint. This makes it particularly useful when several plants are being grown alongside one another.
Square pots can be arranged closely together without the larger gaps naturally created between round containers. This can help make better use of available floor, bench or growing tray space.
At 25cm high, the 17 litre format provides useful growing-medium depth while retaining a manageable overall size.
Improved drainage & root-zone aeration
The porous construction of a fabric pot allows both air and moisture to move through the container walls. This provides a different root-zone environment from a conventional solid plastic pot.
Excess irrigation can drain through the fabric, while increased air exchange around the sides of the growing medium helps maintain an aerated root environment.
Because fabric pots breathe and drain freely, watering requirements can differ from those of rigid containers. Moisture levels should therefore be checked regularly and irrigation adjusted according to the plant, growing medium and environmental conditions.
Suitable for a wide range of growing media
The RootMASS Square Fabric Pot can be used with suitable container composts, soil mixes, coco-based substrates and other compatible growing media.
The 17 litre size provides a useful balance between root volume and overall footprint, making it suitable for many ornamental, flowering, fruiting and productive container-grown plants.
Always select the growing medium, irrigation and feeding programme according to the requirements of the particular plant being grown.
Watering a 17L fabric pot
Fabric pots can dry differently from rigid plastic containers because moisture can leave through the breathable sides as well as the surface of the growing medium.
Rather than watering to a fixed timetable, check the moisture level within the growing medium and irrigate according to the plant's requirements. Temperature, airflow, plant size, growing medium and stage of growth can all affect how quickly the container dries.
A suitable tray or saucer can be positioned beneath the RootMASS pot where irrigation runoff needs to be collected or contained.
Integrated handles for easier positioning
The RootMASS 17L incorporates handles into the fabric pot design, providing convenient handholds when positioning the container.
As with any planted container, the overall weight will depend heavily on the growing medium, moisture content and plant. Take appropriate care when moving a filled pot and support the container as necessary.
