Hey guys. I have never supplemented silica before so I wanted to try it out, I am on 4th week veg. I got some General Hydroponics Armor Si, looked at AN Rhino skin and comparing labels it looked like it was EXTREMLLY diluted stuff vs GH and the GH was 1/3 the cost. but the GH is 0-0-4 where the AN was something like 0-0-0.4
GH bottle says to add 1/4 tsp/gal for mild strength. I am using Organic nutes (Botanicare Pure Blend Grow/bloom) with liquid Karma supplement and CalMag (I use RO water @3ppm or 0ppm if i divert through the DI filters
How do I adjust my base Botanicare strength so I don't over nute with Potassium (K)
Here is my current recipe for week 4 feed per gallon water. I am actually breaking up the strength of this solution by 50% going forward with doing feed with every watering twice a week, my Promix HP is drying out in 2-3 days now in the 1.5 gallon pots and I find the plain CalMG water in between is slowing growth, with every nute feeding the plants respond and perk up. I will be doing a transplant to 4 gallon pots tonight as the final transplant for flower. Thoughts on splitting up solution for every feed vs feed-water-feed
Botanicare PBP Grow (3 - 2 - 4) 80ML
Botanicare Liquid Karma (0.1 - 0.1 - 0.4) 40ML
General Organics CaMg+ (1 - 0 - 0) 5ML
This solution gives me a PPM of about 880-900 and I want to add:
General Hydroponics Armor Si (0 - 0 - 4)
At what rate should I add the Silica? or How much should I reduce the base nute for the minimum 1/4 tsp application.
