All the Aptus nutrients and additives bottles of 100ML, 5L & 20L do not come with a foil seal. This is because they contain organic material and some of these materials need to breathe from the vented cap they put on.

MINERAL-CALMAG is a 100% water-soluble additive containing necessary plant-available forms of nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). This formulation has been designed to prevent common deficiencies while buffering your feedwater when growing in soil-less mediums such as coco, perlite, Rockwool, hydroton or recirculating systems and/or using filtered sources of water. MINERAL-CALMAG can be used throughout the entirety of the vegetative and flowering stages of growth.

APTUS BASE ‘liquid’ contains zero calcium and must be used in conjunction with either MASSBOOST OR MINERAL-CALMAG. Deciding which APTUS CALMAG to use (MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG) is largely dependent on your growing method.

MASSBOOST is an organo-mineral product that leads to organic biofilm build-up when kept in a nutrient reservoir for more than 2-3 days. While MINERAL-CALMAG is 100% mineral, super clean and will never spoil, MASSBOOST contains beneficial L-Amino Acids and is the CALMAG of choice for growers mixing fresh feed daily and can also be administered via foliar application. MINERAL-CALMAG has excellent pH stabilising capabilities and is the CALMAG of choice for growers running longer reservoirs and recirculating systems.

WHY USE MINERAL - CALMAG?

Concentrated and easy-to-use dilutions of just 0.4 ml – 1 ml per 1 litre.
Utilises the highest grade raw minerals available providing the absolute cleanest possible calcium & magnesium additive for your cultivation system.
Prevents coconut-fibre-based planting mediums from becoming a source of nutritional imbalance, lending stability to your crops’ flowering stage of growth.
Replaces the calcium (Ca) ions lost through constant irrigation that occurs during indoor cultivation practices.
Supplements magnesium (Mg) that is pushed away when excess potassium is present from imbalance.

EDUCATION

Through high-intensity irrigation methods often seen in modern indoor cultivation practices, coconut-fibre-based planting mediums can become deficient in calcium (Ca) resulting in high levels of accumulated potassium
(K) and sodium (Na). This excess of potassium (K) and sodium (Na) most often results in antagonism and lockout, leading to deficiencies within the plant.

Due to the mixture of nutrients coming into the plant being fully optimised for healthy growth, allowances for varying excess of potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are not considered. Because of this, mineral antagonism occurs, preventing the uptake of magnesium (Mg), causing unhealthy growth and the appearance of deficiencies.
MINERAL-CALMAG replaces the calcium (Ca) ions lost through constant irrigation, providing the buffering capabilities needed to prevent this antagonistic exchange.

ABOUT

MINERAL-CALMAG is a 100% water-soluble additive containing necessary plant-available forms of nitrogen (N), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg).

This formulation has been designed to prevent common deficiencies while buffering your feed water when growing in soil-less mediums such as coco, perlite, Rockwool, hydroton or recirculating systems and/or using filtered sources of water. MINERAL-CALMAG can be used throughout the entirety of the vegetative and flowering stages of growth.

MINERAL-CALMAG has excellent pH stabilising capabilities and is the CALMAG of choice for commercial growers or any cultivator operating fertigation systems, recirculating systems or longer reservoirs.

While MINERAL-CALMAG is 100% mineral, super clean and will never spoil, MASSBOOST contains beneficial L-Amino Acids and is the CALMAG of choice for growers mixing fresh feed daily. MASSBOOST can also be administered via foliar application.

NOTE: MASSBOOST is an organo-mineral product that leads to organic biofilm build-up when kept in a nutrient reservoir for more than 2-3 days.

The BASE contains zero calcium and must be used in conjunction with either MASSBOOST OR MINERAL-CALMAG. Deciding which APTUS CALMAG to use (MASSBOOST or MINERAL-CALMAG) is largely dependent on your growing method.

HOW TO USE

Shake well before use. If using FASiLITOR, ensure FASiLITOR is mixed first. Add MINERAL-CALMAG second, mix well, then add the remainder of your products.
In soil: Use once a week.
In coco/soil-less/hydro: Use in combination with BASE every watering. Do not use any additional non-APTUS sources of phosphorus

DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS

With a 2-part NPK: 0.4 ml per 1L
With BASE & municipal water: 0.6 ml per 1L
With BASE and RO/Soft water: 0.8 - 1 ml per 1L

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Q: Is it possible to foliar spray with MINERAL-CALMAG?

A: While you can foliar spray with MINERAL-CALMAG, we advise using Massboost for an optimal calcium/magnesium supplementation via foliar application.

Q: When does MINERAL-CALMAG expire?

A: Every bottle we produce has a shelf life of 3 years from its manufacturing date. However, when stored correctly, MINERAL-CALMAG can remain effective for over 5 years.

Q: Can I pair MINERAL-CALMAG with another brand's base nutrient?

A: Absolutely! MINERAL-CALMAG boasts impressive versatility and seamlessly integrates with all nutrients and cultivation systems available in the market.

Q: Is it necessary to use MINERAL-CALMAG with APTUS BASE?

A: Indeed, it is essential. APTUS BASE does not contain any calcium. Therefore, it should be paired either with MINERAL-CALMAG or MASSBOOST for the best results.

Q: Is it safe to introduce MINERAL-CALMAG to my living soil?

A: Certainly! MINERAL-CALMAG can be an effective calcium/magnesium enhancer for your living soil. Although it isn't organic, it is formulated from 100% natural minerals, making it identical to the calcium and magnesium present in natural soil. For optimal results, it is recommended to introduce SYSTEM-CLEAN to your tank water either initially, before adding any other products, or as a final step before making pH adjustments.
