Anytime you use a mono-silicic silica, it will bubble up with a strong pump. I've used fasilitor from aptus, power-si, and other brands. This is very common with mono-silicic acid. i would not be worried.So I’ve been trying to use Grow Genius Mono-silicic acid and seem to keep having a continuing problem.
It doesn’t matter if I add it first or last, once added it begins to bubble up like I’ve added Dawn to my water.
I should mention I am using air stones to oxygenate the water as I’m making it and that’s the cause of the bubbles.
But I plan on doing DWC, so utilizing air stones is required for my system.
I’ve only tested this in 1-2 gallons so far, only using a couple of drops and still getting the same effects.
The more that gets added, the worse the bubbles become
So am I doing something wrong?
could this possibly be a bad batch?
Has anyone experienced this before?
I was really hoping to use this product and hope I can get this figured out.

Grow Gebius contains a wetting agent. It is designed to foam up. Add it after any cal mag so the wader is less soft and you will have less bubbling.So I’ve been trying to use Grow Genius Mono-silicic acid and seem to keep having a continuing problem.

Hey mate, I’m also having the same problem with GG! It’s annoying and my thought was is is even still effective as it’s really expensive. I just kinda cope with it because I’m not adding dry kelp making bubbles worse lol but it’s rather annoying I must say.Since I’m doing DWC, they’re kind of required?
i don’t want to do the kratky method.
I’d rather stick with DWC with air discs.
there isn’t an alternative product that’s as concentrated as GG?
if not I’ll just add the Gas-X and get it to settle as best as possible and deal with it regardless.
I think that’s the best marriage of all of the variables, expectations and hopeful outcome.
Iy will foam at high concentration. Once it is at strength called out it stops foaming for me.Hey mate, I’m also having the same problem with GG!

I’m just following what strength they say on the bottle which is 0.3ml/litreIy will foam at high concentration. Once it is at strength called out it stops foaming for me.
Ummm that might be your problem… It does not say 0.3 ml/L it is 0.3 ml / 10L it’s 0.03ml/L which I’d recommend running .12ml/gallon. It’s super concentrated. Also you could just do a weekly foliar if having issues in the res…I’m just following what strength they say on the bottle which is 0.3ml/litre
Sorry yeah it was 0.3ml 10litre that’s the dose I was adding it atUmmm that might be your problem… It does not say 0.3 ml/L it is 0.3 ml / 10L it’s 0.03ml/L which I’d recommend running .12ml/gallon. It’s super concentrated. Also you could just do a weekly foliar if having issues in the res…
To be clear it would be 1ml/ 8.33 gallons of water. So if you’re giving .3ml/L you’re using 10x the recommended dose.
