Can I use this product without killing microbes in my soil?

[ClaytonNewbilFontaine]

I've been hammering away and reading a lot of these links to articles on here. It's really been extremely helpful in trying to learn organic farming. I'm making the switch to "living soil" and I've got a product I've was using previously to growing organic that's not OMRI listed but I'm wondering if I can use it without killing microbes. I'm not concerned with whether it's organic but rather with if it will damage the soil life. The product is called PowerSi and is a potassium silicate product. I know now I paid a shit load for a product I could've easily made myself, but I didn't know when I bought it.

The ingredients I'm wondering about are:

Urea
Phosphoric acid
Potassium hydroxide
Sodium molybdate
Boric acid

Would I be good to use this for "living soil"?

Some day potassium hydroxide is not organic or the process
But clackmas coot and others talked on grasscity stating it is organic in Oregon potassium silica can be used

others don’t agree but search “grasscity clackmas coot potassium silica waktoo” should come up I was on the fence and stopped using it by some users explanations then clackmas etc set me straight

And cant we use just a little off this one ?like 50 ppm?
Im sure its a nono I want it to make a experiment without killing all the microbe lol 1 with and they other no ...


Got so many fertelizer picking up dust lol

Research....
Is potassium sulphate allowed in organic farming?


Potassium sulfate (K2SO4).

When K2SO4 is derived from natural sources, it is allowed for organic crop production. Much of the current production of organically approved K2SO4 comes from the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

I will try a little it even in gaia green!

I'm pretty sure potassium sulfate is in most of the organic dry blends already (Gaia, Espoma, Dr Earth, etc). Probably in very small amounts though, like it's usually near the end of the ingredients list...

It is it’s organic from marine deposits and the ppm week 3-5 flower is
150 little benefit
175ppm found benefit a lot
200ppm found twisted growth

I start 150 and then if ok do 175
