I'm good on all the snake oils boys, AgSil 16H for us from here on out, Plants have biggest stalks we have ever had this early into Flower have been giving them 2.5mL to gallon of the stock, 2-3 times a week since the clones were rooted and a bonus no Fucking Chlorine either.
We use RO water to start with and the 16 H is added before anything else and allowed to mix for about 10 mins then everything else is added then PH down to around 5.9 for coco and it stays right there very little PH movement of the working solution.And what about pH? Aptus Faslitor jumps > 8 in 24 hours @ .5ml/gallon
Make sure you shake the jug well before each use.About to make my first stock solution tonight. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Gonna use my magnetic hotplate/stir to make sure it's throughly mixed. Do I need to strain it after with filter paper/ coffee filters?
If I'm using veg+bloom in coco was wondering if the added potassium from the agsil would mess up the npk ratios or is it negligible? The local ag store has 50g barrels of agsil25 for hella cheap more than I would ever need but split between friends might be worth it. @Quantrill @oscar169. Thanks for your time:)
good find bro. im buying this tomorrow to test it out.i like that it does not have K in it so i dont have to worry about that messing up my other nutrients and additives,even tho its got 6.28% PAS the rest of the silica in the product im sure becomes avaliable at some point doesnt it? im a outdoor guerilla grower so i have plenty of time for it to break downwith agsil 25, and a silicon concentration in the working solution of 32 ppm Si (~69 ppm SiO2), you would also be adding ~23 ppm potassium. It is something you should consider, but it is not enough of an addition that it alone would be likely to cause any major plant problems.
New product tested to add to the list of fertilizer sources for silicon. Grow-Sil 99.9% pure biogenic (plant derived) silica. Thats right, 99.9% pure SiO2, produced from rice hull waste. Thornton labs tested it via the JAOAC, Vol. #96, #2, 2013 method approved by AAPFCO for fertilizer labels and the results came back at 6.28% soluble silicon (Si).
This would be the Agsil 16H @ 560g to a gallon then used at the rate below per gallon would give you the ppms your looking for.
1.5mL= 14.46ppm
2.0mL = 19.28ppm
I get it here and they ship fast with UPS !!!

i think it's similar to kelp4less in that they claim its pulverized or something in such a way that makes it more available than traditional de. yet to bother testing it yet as i still have tons of ksi but is there any credence to that argument? doesnt seem likely to me but i don't have the knowledge to say.
