Any suggestions for a DIY mono-silicic acid, or jasmonic acid, or pyganic/pyrethrin solution?

How can I make my own ortho silicic acid/mono sicilic acid into a liquid or water soulable solution?
I’ve been using horse tail ferment but its not around year round can I do something with agisil to activate it?

I would be very interested in this also. Sure would beat paying $100 for 250ml of Power Si

Has anyone successfully created a do-it-yourself solution for pyrethrins?

You don’t necessarily have to keep it in a concentrated liquid solution. You can add agsil16h to a reservoir and if you keep it under 50ppm Si it will not polymerize into insoluble things like it does at too high a concentration (without being stabilized with a bunch of unnecessary things like peg 400)

Adding potassium silicate to a reservoir hydrolyzes it into silicic acid and some K+ if you keep it under a certain ppm I don’t think you necessarily need expensive stabilized msa products like power si and fasilitor etc. They all seem based off potassium silicate with other things added to keep it in solution/plant available at such high concentrations which normally isn’t possible.

You can use a nutrient calculator to find out how much per gal to use I think around 0.2g. It is usually added first before anything.

How do make my own Jasmonic acid into a liquid or water soulable solution?
I was told premature berries OR bamboo and make a FPJ OR FFJ but I can’t find anything on Google to support this…

I’ve made my own soluble jasmonic acid solution. I used jasmine flower and KNF OHN tek on it

Do you have to use fresh flowers?

Any chance do you have an article that will show this information? I been all over Google haven’t been able to find any consistent information.

All of the info is in the book silicon in agriculture from springer. Expensive to buy but can be easily downloaded.

also 5-Day Method for Determination of Soluble Silicon Concentrations in Nonliquid Fertilizer Materials Using a Sodium Carbonate-Ammonium Nitrate Extractant Followed by Visible Spectroscopy with Heteropoly Blue Analysis: Single-Laboratory Validation | Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL | Oxford Academic

Custom hydro also sent in some fasilitor to be tested and posted on instagram awhile back

also comparisons of different silicon products.

Edit: I tried to send you the pdf of that book in PM but file size is too big and when I compressed it file type not supported.

You can use either. If dry you need to rehydrate it with shitty beer.

just to say this remo nutrients velokelp has monosilic acid in it
