Like the title says, anyone use Budlink Silica?

ph is supposedly very stable as compared to other silica products.

Can anyone vouch for this or is it another company blowing their own trumpet yet again?

Never heard of silica having a stability problem. Do a price check between this and ProTekt from Dyna Gro, which is what I use.

Most of the differences are in the prices.

They're ALL high in pH. Just the nature of the beast.

that is what i thought but apparently the bottle states: 'No huge P.H. fluctuation that comes with other silicon products.'

I wanted clarifiacation on this cos i mean that ALL companys says theirs is the best in town.

Budlink is very stable. I am trying to find out what it is exactly so I can make some. It doesn't list any K (or anything else) so it is not potassium silicate.

Well ask yourself where the silica comes from.

potassium silicate will raise pH.

Maybe its Silicon dioxide.
