Need a little help farmers... recently picked up some Bloom silica "yelllow bottle" which is a high concentrated silica... I usually use a lower concentrated silica with no problem but the Guy at the hydro store gave me fair warning about this stuff and the method of mixing it because of the possibility of locking out your nutrients...
I usually apply the silica at the and of my mix but now I've been told different. He mentioned to mix it first in pure ro water and then mix the nutes. The reasoning behind this was that the silica can oxidize and lockout your nutes, he also added that if ur mix turns milky it locked out your nutes.
I've tried it both way (first and last in the mix) but still get the milky mix...
My question has this happened before to you using this product and from experience what is the best method... also does the milky mix nutes mean that your nutes are locked out...
Added info.. I use gh 3 part, calmag, a1 humic/fulvic, a1 roots, hygrozyme and bene's...hand water
Ive used it twice so far and the plants look good... didn't seem to be affected by the milky mix
Info is appreciate...thanks
