I have been bored at work today and been googling the difference between potassium silicate and monosilicic acid.

Basically there is very little difference. Plants will not take up potassium silicate. Whereas monosilicic acid is readily available to plants. The thing is though as soon as you introduce potassium silicate to your solution it begins to split. The potassium turns into k+ ions and the silicate turns into silicic acid which is readily available
That’s why you foliar spray Potassium silicate

Homemade seedling shelters. They work a treat. Will keep them in there for another 2 weeks. The lagoon grow spot I found is no more. Someone decided to make it there grow spot . somehow they missed seeing these little containers in the grass. Had to quickly grab them put them in my backpack and hide them in another spot.

How do u slow dry? It’s like 20% humidity here soo dry think I need a humidifier
Whole plants with all the trim on. Slows it right down. Im looking at 2 weeks for this at a guess before i break it all down and jar it up then it will still need to be burped etc for a while after that.

Humidity here is 30% at the moment and it gets hot in my shed. You can feel the heat radiating off the walls and its winter.

On another note..I'm still way over the "traffic" (20 and over in my state) plant count... I HAVE to fix that soon.
Not sure about your state but up here we have "enhanced cultivation" laws,above 50 is automatically deemed commercial but you can still be charged with commercial cultivation if you are under 50. I'm in the low 40s but I'm going to start another 20 or 30 this week for an early outdoor run.
