NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
WARNING!!!!!!
Always add Si first before anything

silica will cause major ph changes as well as create "Nutrient Fallout" if not added BEFORE all other nutrients

so fill the res
add the Si and allow to circulate for about 30min
then add your nutrients
wait another 30min and then ph adjust

Si will shoot your ph through the roof
I use botanicare silica blast and I use at 4ml per gal that sets my ph @ 6.0-6.1
even with Veg+Bloom that I am using now
I hit the same @4ml per gal

every Si is different and more or less consentrated so you have to experiment to see how much to add

I would actually fill a gallon jug with ro and run the suggested Si and your base right now
and check it every half an hour

till it completely settles
that will tell you how much ph down you may need or how much less Si to use

I like the cell wall strengthening properties of Si but I pretty much solely ise it for ph with the added benni's
I run Si all the way up to 2 weeks before harvest
I do a first flush and allow
the medium to completely dry then I start feeding water only for the last 2 weeks
Word I always add Si then CaMg

Seems to be the same drivers. Help me understand what I'm seeing or not seeing...

Was trying to get the DIY LED calculator to load on my iPhone and it's not. I remember the rapid LED being inefficient compared to timber or cutter mau5 kits.
