Nice, $12 a lb. That's what I'm talkin bout.
".7 grams in one gallon of water yeilds 98ppm SiO2 or 46ppm Si,*and 49ppm K."
How about Ag-Sil 16H from here.
Good choice for silicon. I have used AN protekt, and yellow bottle. Ag Organics is 53% and only needed 1ml per gallon but all of them cost more $$. I now have been using Ag-sil from CHN and mix up my own concentrate.How about Ag-Sil 16H from here.
Hydrorocks: do you think the AN product was a bad product or just overpriced? Just asking because I have a giant jug that I got for wholesale a long time age and am still using.
I'm probably only gonna use silica for foliar and only in veg from now on. It does bind to calcium which can affect uptake of alot of nutes since Cal acts as a transporter.
you could alternate the two between feedings if you wanted to use both.
Silica one day...calmag the next feeding....
I add my silica first then adjust ph down then I add my witches brew and adjust ph up . Stop my silica at week 6 of flower have used it right the way through and even after the 3 day flush the buds tasted a bit funny on a previous grow .I usually taper down during flower just like cal-mag, cutting it completely on week 6 on a 9 week strain.
On the subject of Silica, something I learned about it, is to add it to your rez before anything else. After it has mixed really well bring your ph down to desired level before adding your base nutes. If you add it after your base nutes you can potentially have some reactions with your base nutes because it raises the ph so high. I can't remember where I got this from but it makes sense to me.
Aptus has a new silica based product that I am very interested in. What are you guys using and does anyone disagree with mixing Silica based products in your rez first?

One this is a really old thread lol
Two why?
I would add the silica then the brew and adjust from there. The way your doing it adds unnecessary ppms plus it's not great to be putting pH+- in together
I use urine milk and worm tea as my food and when it be done my mix my ppm are 700 to 900 and ph is 6.3 so there's no overload on ppm at all maybe the case if I used bought nutes but that will never happen I stay strictly natural organic . Might be a old thread LOL but I found it interesting

I use urine , milk , wormtea and silica I derive from a native tree where I live . 1 lt urine to 10 lt water as well as 1 lt of milk to 10 lts water I run a 60 lt tank the rest is worm tea I make 38 lts hope that helpsUrine milk???
