It really depends on the silica source.

Didn't want to lose a bucket of nutrients? This is not the actions of a reasonable person. It will most likely be stored in the media. But might destroy the PH balance.

Should b fine..ive seen pics what sshz has put up on one of his grow diaries of using silica and has holes in leaves near base of leaf..only thing ive noticed using silica is that it hardens your buds like rocks.i mainly tried it to strengthen plant laterals but didnt see improvement on plants that were flimsy .im sure plant stem strength is genetic as i have had other strains that grew strong without any silica..maybe theres benefits that i dont see..
