i was gonna leave this response alone ,but you did call on me,To be honest , I prefer silica very much. In fact, it depends on the tent environment. silica can help plants resist high temperature. Compared with Indica and sativa, indica require a lower temperature (especially when i am grow in hot summer).
What's more, silica can help me resist a lot of pests caused by too high humidity at flowering . I find that these pests don't bother my plants at all, especially this kind of catastrophe such as White Powdery Mildew .
I've discussed this a lot with aqua man abt silica , and he told me the latest scientific research that silica is more important than calmag. I did an experiment in which I added silica to the nutrient solution of plants, and my roots grew better and thicker than those plants without silica.
i use 5ml/gallon in Veg, 7-8 ml/gallon in bllom,
In this forum, the "bio master" is a kinds of the master of hydroponics. He uses silica more aggressively, 8-10 ml per gallon in Bloom , and the diameter of his axial root system can reach 8-10 cm when harvest.
We tend to focus on leaves and flowers. Actually, relatively speaking, good root development is more important than anything else
The only thing about silica is that it's too expensive to use .. If you can't control the humidity / temperature / it's best to use silicon.
so ya ,i call bullshit
aqua is my man knows his shit
but too much emphasis on science for such a simple thing as plants,if only i had the money spent to find ways to get folks to buy bull shit to grow this plant.
im gonna leave it at this,you would be surprised at how well and easy it is to just grow in compost and just be done with all the worlds headaches of cost.
yep you guess it,im one them with you all favorite foriegn name,bro science
that me sounds about as stupid as this karen and woke shit you younger kids seem to love,but hey the shoe fits
no matter the name or the ton of money spent to prove shit,still
call bull shit
about like the sun,this and that light, cant replace it even with all the science ,or the soil cant understand the works unless you live in it and i aint ready for that.
so that said smoke your silica and be happy,im happy smoking shit hahahah
