Biochemical Sequencing 101
Traditional agriculture operates by looking at plant like they are machines. We tend to think a little different at Aptus. We believe we should look at plants as living creatures, just like you and me.

Micromix Drip: User Guide
During the production process of growing substrates all microlife is destroyed/sterilized so that no harmful elements remain. The problem with that approach is that the beneficial bacteria are also destroyed in the process, which makes the substrate more susceptible to pests and diseases. An active (beneficial) microlife is essential to optimize growing conditions and to […]
