Liquid silicone help please.

HIGH. im going to grow with coco and hand water every day. the growth technology nutrient chart says for liquid silicone (add to nutrients weekly at 5ml/10ltrs) could i for example add 0.5ml to 1ltr and feed it all to the plant every day. thanks for looking.

I'm not exactly "new" to growing... what the heck is "liquid silicone"? What is it's purpose in the feed schedule?

Silicon is a trace element used by marijuana. I'm not sure what the benefits are of adding it with your feedings, as i'm pretty sure tap water has enough silicon(considering the plants will barely need any).

Cool thanks for the explanation farmer :blsmoke: Been growing for a number of years and glad to learn as much as I can about every aspect of this awesome plant.

GROWTH TECHNOLOGY LIQUID SILICONE
Silicon is a beneficial plant nutrient, found in virtually all natural soils but not - until now - in hydroponic nutrient solutions. Silicon will strengthen the plant walls producing stronger healthier plants with massive root systems and increased resistance to pests and disease. Liquid Silicon is highly beneficial to plants in the range of 10–30 ppm in the nutrient solution. It is not included, and cannot be included, at these levels, in nutrient concentrates. It needs to be added as a separate component by the grower. Liquid Silicon can be added to nutrient tanks every time a fresh batch is made up.​
[h=3]Liquid Silicon... the missing element.[/h]
  • Improves uptake of nutrients and transport through the plant.
  • Strengthens cell walls, helping plants to resist attacks from fungi and mites.
  • Increases chlorophyll production leading to darker green leaves and improved light collection.
  • Increases uptake of available CO[SUB]2[/SUB] and utilises the enhanced metabolic processes to deliver higher yields.
  • Adds very useful extra potassium for enhanced flowering.
Liquid Silicon has an important role in the uptake and vascular transport of mineral nutrients, and can greatly improve the mechanical "strength" of the plant and its resistance to fungal diseases.The addition of Liquid Silicon to nutrient solutions can greatly reduce the incidence and severity of fungal diseases including Botrytis (bud rot) and powdery mildew.Recent research has demonstrated that raising the silicon concentration in hydroponic solutions produced thicker, whiter, healthier root systems and increased yields.Silicon has also been shown to result in higher concentrations of chlorophyll per unit area of leaf tissue. This means that a plant is able to tolerate both lower and higher light levels by using more of the available light.​
[h=3]The best pH UP[/h]
Liquid Silicon - like ALL silicon products - is very basic, it has a high pH, and can therefore be used effectively to raise the pH of hydroponic nutrient solutions. The extra silicon added is a bonus for the plants.​
  • Strengthens plants
  • Improves disease resistance
  • Increases crop weight

Yes it does help your grow a lot....can i recommend you a silica that you re interesting to buy ? then its Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt, in case if you just bought that Pro-Tekt, always add Pro-Tekt first to the water jug before mix with other nurtients.

happy growing and peace
