The flush

[buzz]

I’m three days away from flash and a friend of mine said to me to add silicon to the water as it keeps the weight of the bud up I really don’t know if this is true and opinions would appreciate it cheers guys

Actually, it's not the silica that may help- but the potassium portion of silica supplements.
I wouldn't bother at this point, as your plants have taken up the potasium it needs during flower.

I stop silica @ bloom week #5, but continue adding potassium (in the form of pH up by GH) until the flush.

I cannot confirm or deny his theory. I can say that I run a Si right up until flush and I lose about 70-75% in the drying process. I don’t think there are tricks to prevent weight loss.

I assume you mean 3 days from the final flush, right?
The silica I use says it should be added weeks 4-6. Although I use it through out veg as well. Point is, adding it now will not do anything to benefit your ladies.

Cheers for the replies to the general theory is just too late for it to be beneficial and again thanks very much. Peace
