From what I understand the creator of power si worked very closely with the guy who created the stabilization process for silicic acid, Rex-sil I think was the original product before aptus even. I’ve had a friend send in power si, aptus and elite 91 silicic acid to a lab to test for silicic...

So just so you guys are aware but seed junky dropped 2 strains to the public from his nursery about 6 months ago, one of them was ice cream cake x animal mints. Do not buy any of these clones if you haven’t already. Every single one of those plants in my flowering room has herms on it. In a room...

I meant to say spider mites can be confused with beneficial mites my bad. And yes they do definitely look similar to beneficial mites they’re literally both mite species why would they not look similar?

uv light can also damage plants so I’d be really careful with how much Uv light you give them especially when they’re clones because they can get stressed out very quickly with too much uv. For what it’s worth I killed my pm in my veg room by foliar spraying power si, ca mg and sea green. For...

No, you don’t just wash it off especially if it has trans laminar properties and can stay in soil for that long, otherwise they would say to just wash it off and you wouldn’t have a pre harvest interval... and that’s a 13 day phi for green beans which have a casing in them, cannabis doesn’t so...

It also has a pre harvest interval on food as well since it leaves a residue

The active ingredient in pylon has a soil half life of over 250 days... please do not use chemical pesticides when there’s other treatments to go to first that aren’t nearly as hazardous

Do not use avid, if they’re broad/ russet mites I’ve heard a ton of people go the sulfur route if you’re not late in flower. Dipping everything you can in sulfur and using a safe spray on between helps out a lot. I know purecrop1 and power si control can be used in an ipm regiment with sulfur...

What magnification is this? I’m no expert but they look clear with 8 legs, not a two spotted spider mite, thrips are more cigar shaped and aphids are usually big, like you can see them easily with the naked eye. Russet mites are extremely small and look like beneficial mites which is kinda what...

I feel like I don’t need it and I’m going to automate my hps room and I want the lines as clean as possible without taking anything away that I think I need. The power si bloom has amino acids and kelp that prime have, and silica as well so I just run power si bloom, drip clean and Athena...

I forgot to post this but this is from a YouTube channel named zenathol, he’s a mycologist, entomologist and a botanist that specifies in cannabis ipm. He puts out a ton of great info on his YouTube and Instagram. He claims that(as of the video) powdery mildew is not systemic

And just overall plant health, pest resistance, pm resistance silica does wonders honestly

Foliar spraying my early flower and veg with power si and camg has been one of the best things I’ve done for my plants in a long time 👍🏽

Idk about their cmh but luxx makes really good lights. I have an hps room that I just switched over from gavita to luxx hps and the hps lights are way better than Gavita. I have a room of their led lights and no complaints 4 runs in. Last few runs I ran the led’s at 80% and was still getting...

I do a foliar spray once a week now of power si, cal mg, and either purecrop1 or ogbiowar foliar up until week 2-3 of flower. Plants have never been healthier and have been pm free for about a year and a half now
