Concentrated, Pure, and Fast Acting.

The Flagship of the Aptus Product Lineup, Fasilitor is a patented formula that works by increasing vascular pressure within the plant to heighten mineral translocation throughout its entire structure, resulting in more complete, robust, and quality tissue formation.

Unlike other silica products on the market that contain potassium or calcium silicates and take weeks or months to become available, Fasilitor’s monomeric (single molecule) silicic acid is absorbed into your plant within minutes.

The patented and stabilized concentration of monomer silicic acid particles allows for fast response against abiotic and biotic stress factors (environmental and pests), shorter internodal spacing, incredible bio-availability, and increased yields all while utilizing natural mechanisms within the plant to gain these benefits.

Engineered to excellence by the team at Western Electrical, the fans feature a high-powered DC motor which is attached to tailor-made flow-conditioning fins which minimize turbulence and noise. The device also features forward curved impeller blades which are designed to maximize static pressure performance, therefore, making it ideal for long ducting runs in a demanding environment.

Controlling your indoor garden’s environment is 100% up to you. Your success or failure depends on it. In the end, you are only as good as your equipment. I am a huge advocate of environmental controllers, data collection, and understanding as much as possible how the environment influences the health of any particular crop. You need the proper equipment to do specific jobs.

Based out of St. Pascal, Quebec, Canada, Grozone has been making controllers for North American growers for over 12 years. Great products, better people, and a customer service that is uniquely French Canadian and a pleasure to deal with; an excellent company worth supporting.

The TV12 Variable Fan Speed Controller is my top Grozone pick.

• Day & Night setting.
• Automatically slows down or speeds up centrifugal fans to maintain user selected temperature setpoints (55°F to 95°F).
• Idle speed between 25% and 60% of full power.
• Cold weather shut off feature
• 6-ft temperature probe precise to 2°F/1°C.
• Can run intake and outtake fans on one controller, up to 750W, 6,2A

Elegant in its simplicity, the TV12 is perfect for any grower that uses centrifugal fans to control their grow room’s temperature.
