Silicone

[Blaze]

I start at week #1 in Veg and continue through week 5 in flower.
It helps make the stems strong, provides potassium, adjusts pH up, reduces the amount of "lights out" drooping and is a facilitator for Calcium/Magnesium/Iron uptake throughout the grow.

I don't mean to piggyback, but since it's being asked, until what week of flower should I continue giving my girls silicon?
I'm currently using DynaGro Pro-Tekt @ 1/2 tspn per gallon, and have reached week 5 flower.
I never even considered if I should be dropping it eventually. Completely slipped my mind.

Great question btw Blaze

What week do you stop using bro?
I'm growing an unknown sativa, and it's quite possible it's gonna flower for more than 10 weeks.

Oh yeah, and what dosage have you found to give you the best results?

[Weed Pharma]

I stop using Pro-Tekt after week 5 in flower.
After week #5 I use Genra lHydroponics pH UP- for adjusting the water pH.
I dose on a per plant per week bases, so not much help with an amount per gallon.

Here's the General Hydroponics feed chart (full strength) for drain to waste feeding for mediums like coco just to give you a bit of an idea of how much they recommend to use of their Armor Si and when to start/stop giving it.

Start week 2 and finish one week before starting your pre harvest flush
