on that note, out of interest do you know what a good silicon product is to add to a soil grow using canna nutes etc? Fancy giving it a go lol
They're all the same in terms of ingredients, they're just a Potassium Sillicate solution.


But I use Growth Technology because so far it's the strongest I've come across in the grow shops at 6% and it's about £12 a litre.
(most others are 2-3% or even less for the same price)

I've been meaning to look around some agro and chem suppliers to get some stronger and cheaper than the 6% solution but I've not got round to searching properly yet to find the best overall deal.

It would be far better doing that but this Growth Technology one is the strongest I know of that you can just walk into a grow shop and buy, every time I go in I compare labels as standard.

Don't be shy with it either, there are numerous legit studies out there that give it the nod in agro, 20-25% yield increase just on that alone if you use enough.




Top tips:
1) It sends your PH through the roof.
2) It needs to be within a certain PH range to stay in solution, too low or too high and it will solidify sending your feed water cloudy.
(correcting the PH to within range and it will instantly dissolve again with a quick mix)
3) It doesn't like Calcium (they both drop out of solution) so don't use it in the same feed mix as Calcium or Cal/Mag.
(try to feed Calcium or Cal/Mag seperately)

Personally I wouldn't touch that because it doesn't state the ingredients.

But at 1ml per litre you should have used that 125ml up ages ago mate, let alone it lasting near on 2 grows, I expect the results you see are placebo dude.

I can use 125ml of just liquid silicon in a week at times. lol
