Can Silica restore nutrient burn ?

[Lizabreu1985]

Hello I have a question for thoes have experience on the use of silica, I have some problems with nutrient burn on my 5th week of flower can Silica (armor Si) help restore that deficiency?

There's no fixing nutrient burn that i know of, I do know adding more isn't the way to fix adding too much of something else already.

Whar are you growing in?
Folk's here might be able to help you out if you list your light, medium, nutrient etc.

No, and armor si isn't very bio available. Silica can help with uptake of nutrients and make a stronger more healthy plant, but it's not gonna fix your mistakes.

unfortunately nothing can undo nutrient burn, from here you can figure out correct the nutrient values and flush the plant, then wait a bit and as long as the nutrient burn doesnt continue, you can then go back to feeding your plant the right nutes. this will hopefully prevent more nutrient burn from occurring, and allow your plant to recover in a timely manner.

if the nutrient burn does continue, I would flush again and check ppm values if possible, wait 2-3 days to see if the plant is still burning, repeat until nutrient burn no longer progresses.

I agree with this. lizabreu you should examine your budsites for seeds inside the calyxes, if there are seeds you should search your plant for any nanners/hermie pods

Flushing and adding no nutes can overcome nutrient burn. The best way is to add very little(half) nutes when feeding. If you see symptoms of underfeeding then you can add. This really doesn't apply in soil because it drains well with perlite .

Thanks everyone, no there’s no seeds they are lacking of K they look lot better after flushing and adding Horti rawk
