So, what's the deal?
First thing first, it's silicon (CON) not silicone. (CONE) Silicon is what computer chips are made from, silicone is the stuff that makes girls with low self opinion become strippers but that's another subject.
Most every company makes one. But General Hydroponics does not. This might be telling.. GH is not usally the first with anything other then the three part but they will pick up stuff they think works sooner or later. So far, no Silicon products from GH. Dyna-gro Pro-Tek is one of the oldest ones I know of and it also a pH up if you need it.
What is it for? What dose it to?
Let's use Pro-Tek as the example. Silicon is taken up by the plant and is said to increase the cell wall strength 'protecting' it from damage whether it's from insects or pm. Also said to protect it from drought and hot weather.
One of the other side effects is that your stems will be stronger and be better able to support your buds as they ripen.
It's a 0-0-3 so you're getting a little extra K too.
If you have experience with a silicon product please let us know how it worked for you, good or bad.
The only bad I can think of is if you didn't get any benefits and benefits like this might be hard to qualify.
