Its not saying its a potassium silicate anywhere on bottle . And it could have started as potassium silicate and was broken down in lab to orthosilica acid.
Beside the ortho-silicic acid and its stabilized formulations such as choline chloride-stabilized ortho-silicic acid and sodium or potassium silicates (e.g. M2SiO3; M= Na,K), the most important sources that release ortho-silicic acid as a bioavailable form of silicon are: colloidal silicic acid (hydrated silica gel), silica gel (amorphous silicon dioxide), and zeolites.
.Although all these compounds are characterized by substantial water insolubility, they release small, but significant, equilibrium concentration of ortho-silicic acid (H4SiO4) in contact with water and physiological fluids

Power OG said:Potassium silicate has to be broken down into silica acid which could take 48-72hour
where do you get this 48-72 hour reaction rate info?
Meant to add that this was under the derived from section. I've got the new bottle @Power OG .Potassium silicate releases orthosilic acid. So if the label has both those ingredients, one can conclude that's where it was derived from
It is a damn shame how the growing community is preyed upon! Most of these nute companies are ripping you off like a mofo, they all have to find a source (manufacturer) and there are only a small list of suppliers around the world. I got suckered not too long ago when I bought some RAW Cal/Mag, a 20z pack cost me $14 then I found a local supplier and they charge $4/lb for the same or similiar product...... so I got charged $14 for 50 cent worth lol
So my question to all that want to try new products, does this product make that much of a difference to warrant that type of price? Are your yields and quality that much more superior to ppl who don't use it? Do some research because these companies are out there and they've learned the formula for getting your hard earned. AgSil cost me $12 and it does the job for me! The top secret ingredients that they usually added are molasses, kelp, growth hormones, etc that are relatively cheap till they put a sticker with a brand name on it and mark the prices up to some ridiculous #.
Everybody wants in on the cannabiz now, do your research so you don't get suckere........ that goes for equipment, seeds, or anything else related to cultivating cannabis.
Fuck it. It's only $90 to try it. Take my money osa28! Lol seems like all the big player on ig are rocking it
I completely agree with you guys on this bottled nute deal. Only reason why I'm not running just straight organic soil is because I like to tinker with nutrients to be honest. I won't be buying the full price bottle of OSA unless my yields and quality speak otherwise. This run I'm on now is more my style being organic. So I'm in my comfort zone on this one. If osa increases my yields on this run then I MIGHT throw down on the small bottle to give it some further testing.
I can assure you that the seedlings loved something about it. They were perked up and got a really nice boost it seems.
Hold up im in no way or shape peddling osa so check yourself. They sent me a free sample for one, yes im using it, yes im liking the results but in no way would i ever spend this type of $$ on any product, so i dnt know where you got your info but you're wrong bro, goo is also running a free sample, the sample will last me almost a year so i was trying to help people get there sample,when i started using this there was no prices available. Again let me be clear i wouldn't pay that kind of money for any product, but yes im definitely liking my sample and its a good silica. Doesnt warrant price tag.I don't blame osa, I hold us responsible. We just blatantly pointed out hos big of a scam this is and then our own member says "hey I'm getting ripped off weeeee let's buy it anyway herp derp"
You got goo, logic, and power peddling this shit onto everyone of you guys. We are our own worst enemy. OSA is smart for trying to take advantage of morons and milk them for every penny they got while they can.
Just like herion. They don't even need to sell their own product, the users sell and advertise it for them. Osa28 doesn't even need to make an ad when you got Goo all over instargram telling people how amazing this product is without even knowing what it is

Osa28 is with out a doubt the Truth, been using last couple of runs and there's a noticeable improvement. You can't compare potassium silicate to silica acid, no comparison. Potassium silicate has to be broken down into silica acid which could take 48-72hour, that's why anyone using a silica acid refuses to go back to using potassium silicate.

This is a grow forum, im just sharing my experience, im not telling anyone to purchase anything,not my place, what people do with there money is there business. I was simply sharing my experience and some how because you do not agree you tried to single me out. Not happening. Again im not pushing anything just sharing my personal experience and its definitely better than any potassium silicate product i have ever used. Still doesnt warrant the price tag. Buddha trees solar green power is also a great silica acid not sure on price. All im saying is companies send me a sample i want to share my experience with other growers and friends wether the results are great or horrible, so it's cool bro. Have a nice day.When you keep telling people its amazing. And you keep telling people its better that potassium silicate because its broken down in a lab yet we proved it literally *is* potassium silicate with just water, then you ARE selling it.
You said OSA is the truth. This is a lie because its bottle is completely misleading. Trying to make people beleive they are buying orthosililic acid and not standard potassium silicate to explain the insane price inflation.
You state you can't compare Ksi to silica acid yet we proved that's also wrong and that they are the same.exact thing.
You state Ksi takes 3 days to break down. That's also false chemical reactions take place immediately once Ksi hits h2o.
You saying aproduct is the truth is you backing it up. That means you are encouraging others to try it. Thus, you are selling/peddling their product. Just because you're doing it for free and not on commission doesn't change anything
and its definitely better than any potassium silicate product i have ever used.
