AZOMITE® is a highly mineralized complex silica ore (Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate or HSCAS), mined in Utah from an ancient deposit left by an volcanic eruption that filled a small nearby seabed an estimated 30 million years ago. AZOMITE® is used as a naturally rich soil re-mineralizer for plants, as well as a feed ingredient for animals. In a typical chemical assay, AZOMITE® contains more than 70 trace minerals which include many rare earth elements (lanthanides)

I did a side by side with Azomite and saw that it made no difference one way or the other. There are gardeners on youtube who have found that it will decrease yields but they were also using a higher than recommended dose.

Its still contains high amounts of silica, and there is plent of research as to its effectiveness. But if a plant isn't deficient, I would expect no changes 1 way or the other if its not overdosed.

Its like vitamins. If youre getting enough, more aint gonna help, and can kill you.

Ive been using it for years as a trace mineral source. Along with Kelp.

Its also used to feed livestock.

Oh really? And what would a silicon deficiency look like?

I'm still waiting to see what a silicon deficiency looks like and I agree that if the plant isn't deficient, I would expect to see no changes.

Not speaking of a Silicon Def. Weed will grow just finne with no Silicon supplementation.

Im speaking about Azomite in general.

Azomite is a very good source of trace minerals, and calcium.

I myself don't believe Silicon is an essential element for marijuana, and when I used Silicon specifically. I noticed 0000 difference, and in a couple instances turned the stigmas brown. Overnight. So Im not a big fan of individually using silicon as a supplement.

I happen to like adding silicon in hydro as I do get thicker stems. Extra K does the same thing (depending on your starting point of course). Silicon is beneficial which is not to be confused with essential, IMO.

I’ve always used various potassium silicate products (skunk labs powdered version being my favorite), but recently I came across Privi Silixol ‘’with its unique patented technology delivers world’s only known form of Bio- active silica (Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid)’’. So far the research I’ve done is astounding! Anyone else ever heard of it or have any experience? it’s supposed to be exponentially more bioavailable to plants (aerial parts of horsetail). There’s actually a human supplement called FloraSil that’s made from the silica from plants and the ingredients say ‘’orthosilicic acid’’. So if it comes from plants it must be the perfect form to give back to them, right?!

Found a website selling it with claims from pot growers. Google OSA28
Pretty expensive
