So broski @EventHorizan so not to take up too much space I will just post the link and anyone can read at thier leisure. We were all wondering on the chemistry involved with Si additives. So here is one of the better articles I have come across to date. To add typically Si isnt really needed in soil grows if the soil is of good quality and well balanced as Si is very abundant in good soil. Mainly Si was developed for soiless media ie: hydroponics.
Of particular interest in the read is the thinking that adding fulvic acid allows for more efficient Si uptake. So for the Bill Nye guys, me included here you go. I do like that the author provides references as well.
Here is the link Enjoy. https://manicbotanix.com/silicon-in-hydroponics/
