Is it the potassium silicate or does monosilicic silicate work?

Bugbee is a real scientist who offers a lot to learn. I could repost some work of his if you'd like, but you might just search instead.

I use monosilic acid in the res, and it has made a noticeable difference in stem thickness, rigidity, and overall vigor.

Do you have a scintilla of evidence to support your comments?
How many silica studies have you done?
Science is real
A paid for schill. If you think you need your Mega Silica, terpenator teas, Blasting bud boosters, triple ripple cal mag explosions, and special cannabis CO2 tanks be my guest. Dont forget to add in your Tommy Chong Gorilla grow tent too. People have been growing weed along time. There are a billion and a half kick ass grows where people never used any of that snake oil. Next micro nutrient flavor of the month brought to you by Athena and Dr Bugbee??? Boron! If you dont have at least 20000ppm of boron you just cant even get that seedling to enter veg
Enjoy buying unneed products. I bet you have all the terp teas and bloom booster too lol

Its another unneeded product. Its a paid commercial by Athena where dr Bugbee is PAID to push a product. Ive never had a silica defincency lol. If you think you need a Silica booster to grow great weed I have a great growing tip for ya that will x3 your yield, and even stop all pests. Go down to the drug store and get some Iodine. Mix that 50/50 with tap water, feed your plants and watch the magic happen. Forget silica the next big micro is Iodine

This whole video is regarding potassium silicate. There are arguments that plants don't really use it, or it isn't bioavailable.
Simply put, K2SiO4 has to be brought up to a pH of about 11, then it's in an aqueous solution at which point pH can be adjusted and it remains in aqueous solution, and is available to the plant.

If you’ve got powdery mildew, get a sulfur burner, use it once and your problems are gone. I had Powdery mildew and white mold in my tent for years, tried everything on the market. (I live in a rain forest). Nothing worked, even with a dehumidifier running 24/7. Treated my tent with The sulfur burner 1 time for a couple of hours. A few of the plants had some damage but I have NEVER had and mold or powdery mildew again.
No that cant be true! Something like that could never work. "You NEED silica" boosters to get rid of PM or to even grow weed. Only Dr Bugbee has the answers to ALL cannabis questions in his paid Series for Athena AG.

A "deficiency" of a supplement. Okay. Probably just stick to buying your weed, dude.

IFC... silica in solution and soil tends to stabilize as orthosilicic acid, which is available to plants.
God I wonder how anyone ever grew great weed before Silica Boosters and Dr Bugbee the patron saint of Cannabis Growing came along. Brought to you by Athena AG

The hardest part is finding a sulfur burner. I found mine on Ebay. Not many grow stores even carry them. They are fairly cheap as well. GL

By using 50% strength iodine i suppose?

I've used silica in hydro but don't bother in soil as it has enough on it's own usually. I have used a dilute sol'n of silica to spray on some plants with PM and one spray was all it took to get rid of it. Changes the pH of the leaves surfaces and PM won't grow.
