How do you silica

Mr.furley

Well-known member
Hello All.
I got me some potassium silicate yesterday and Im thinking about adding it to my grow. In my 7th week of flower expecting three to five more weeks.
I have the basic understanding of what it does.
what I would love is for the kind souls @ GWE to tell me there why, when and hows about add this product?
Should I hold off till my next grow?
Thank you in advance.
 
Morning Mr Furley, Being your almost done with your current grow its hard to say if it would do much good this late , but it sure is not going to hurt anything. But you will sure be able to tell the difference on your next grow . It does wonderful things for your plants , makes em stronger ,protects from bugs.helps em eat better lots of good stuff.
 
It should ideally given to plants when young,as DAAS said u will notice a diff. I got mine on line. Maybe a good hidro store or garden center?
 
I add Protekt- in soil grows- after the second week of veg, through week five of flower.

It made a huge difference and acts as a pHup -
add Si first when mixing nutrients.
 
Thanks everyone for your response:smile:makes sense to use this new product from the start of the grow so I will hold off on what would be just a couple of feedings till my next planned grow.
thanks again.
 
I picked up Europonics, I have to already phdown a little bit so I will watch that, can I ask do you stop at 5 week before you're flush for some reason or do you flush your plant at 5 weeks?
 
Brand doesn't really matter.
The plant has stopped growing except for buds- so I switch to GH pH UP at that time until harvest.
Also, many recommend it from clone/seed through flower.
