Description
Silicate is an essential element for hiT.Ar plants, especially when growing with water as a substrate. New pH neutral Silicate contains ancient deposits of biologically transformed organic matter, plus naturally formed silicic acid clay.
Silicate provides a naturally soluble form of silicon which enters plant cells and builds a hardened shield against disease and insect attack. Silicate's natural colloids improve cation exchange capacity to nutrient solutions improving nutrient availability to your plants. Silicate stabilises nutrient solution pH and conductivity which reduces stress for rapidly growing plants. Silicate also protects against toxicity from metals. Last but not least, Silicate contains more than 60 minerals, which add more nutritive elements for plants to thrive on.
- Dilution / Dose
- 4 g per 10 litres of water in solution, or roughly 1 teaspoon (4 g) sprinkled directly at the base of each plant.
- When To Use
- Throughout the grow, especially when growing in water-based/hydro substrates.
- Substrate Fit
- Compatible with coco, hydro, soil, and bioponic systems. If using beneficial microbes such as TrikoLogic, apply Silicate only as a foliar spray or dry at the plant collar — not into the substrate — to avoid slowing microbial establishment.
- Grower Notes
- Builds a hardened, disease- and pest-resistant shield inside plant cells, stabilises solution pH and conductivity, protects against metal toxicity, and supplies over 60 trace minerals.
