What is the silica forI have had very good performance with the Botnicare CNS-17 Grow and Bloom pair. I also use their additives like silica, CalMag & Hydroguard.
I was was wondering if I would need that or not, according to greenleaf you dont but that's exactly why I love real people's experiences over words on a bottle, thank youI'm using Megacrop for the first time with RO and coco. I had to supplement with CalMg - just something for you to keep in mind.
What is the silica for
I definitely will be getting some of that then thank you very muchIts primary purpose is to provide strength to the trunk and branches. It helps the plants stand up / hold up under the its own weight. I have also read (not vendor specific research documents) that it helps create and add strength to the the capillary tubes (i don't know their botanical name) that carry water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Happy Growing!!

While you are making purchases... do yourself a huge favor and add Botnicare's Hydroguard to your list. ..
I have no chilled didnt plan on getting one, is there an easy way to lower my reservoir temp, it will be outside of the tentIf no chiller, I agree. An equally effective alternative is Southern Ag Biological Garden Friendly Fungicide. Same bacterial species, but much more concentrated, like 10^4 X.
I use Southern AG myself, it's quite cost effective. I dilute it 1 part Southern AG to 20 parts water and than add 1-2 mils of that dillution per gallon to my rez.If no chiller, I agree.

I have some Southern AG on hand when I run out of Hyrdoguard, which will be soon. Thanks for sharing your dilution info!I use Southern AG myself, it's quite cost effective. I dilute it 1 part Southern AG to 20 parts water and than add 1-2 mils of that dillution per gallon to my rez.

I don't have a chiller either. I just buried 32' of 1/2" tubing it my water well pit. I'm attempting to make a (for lack of a better term) a redneck chiller. I may have spent $40 on a wasted experiment on hose and a RV water pump. Time will tell, I'm close to testing it. As you can see the temp of the pit looks promising anyway.I have no chilled didnt plan on getting one, is there an easy way to lower my reservoir temp, it will be outside of the tent

My ambient room temp is around 70 I have not put the water in yet just trying to get all my ducks in a rowWhat is your average rez temp? Much above 70Fa (especially w/o enzymes) and you are going to be in for a fight with RR. there are lots of DIY methods you can try, generally the further above 70 you are; the more likely DIY will fail and you will come closer to needing a chiller. I gave up early as i live where my ambient room temp in summer is in the 80's with the AC running.
Chillers are a good investment if you plan on growing long term.
