Hey, I’m searching for a silica product that isn’t potassium silicate. Hoping for some recommendations…
The one affordable product I found that appears to be a monosilicic acid is - alchemist stout msa. Might this be the product I‘m looking for or is there some others you guys are using.
Additionally, when it comes to silicic acid, do you stop feeding them when flipped to flower? Or feed through til the end?
Currently at week two from flipping lights to 12/12, 5gallon pots filled with FFOF, feeding jacks 321 (full line) under a mars-hydro ts3000 (2), watering in recharge in between nutrients.
also been fighting thrips - have them under control but not eradicated. gave Two sulfer treatments when they were in veg (went on the heavy side trying to torch these demon bugs). The sulfer didn’t do the job 100% so I waited two weeks and gave purecrop1 a try. Still have a thrip here and there that I’ve been removing. Planning on more purecrop1 however I don’t like that It also seems to burn the plant a little. Anyway they’re healthy as is, just want to improve.
-Thanks!

Alchemist Stout MSA Quart (12/Cs) https://a.co/d/35YKvbt
Feeling like a chemist?
Starts at 22 minutes.
I use the botanicare silica. Reasonable price and works just as well as the Mammoth and Athena versions.
Power Si is a great product. Power Si is soluble, bioavailable, and can be assimilated immediately by the plants in order to increase nutrient uptake and stimulate the immune responses. It is available in 2 forms - granular and liquid - each having 2 separate formulas. One is the be used in veg and the other in flower.
Why Use Power SI?
Improves uptake and absorption of nutrients and corrects nutritional imbalances that your crops may already be experiencing
Increases resistance against Abotic (i.e drought, salinity, heavy metals) and Biotic Stress (fungi and pest)
Significantly reduces transpiration ( = loss of moisture form the leaves)
Scientifically proven to improve the germination process and root structure under stress conditions
Tank-stable, making it safe to leave inside of your reservoir without creating any unwanted residue
Doesn't raise the PH of your water
Suitable for all types of crops
Fully compatible with all other fertilizers, boosters and plant protection products
Maximizes yield and improves end quality of crop
Increase nutrient absorption
Increase Bioavailablitiy of all other nutrients by acting as an effient transporter
Reduces nutrient salt build-up
Reduces dyhydration of your crops
Builds stronger cell walls decreasing susceptibility to various diseases resulting in stronger plants and thicker stems
