Cause I got it at Sweet Leaf…hahahahahahaa. Naw it’s silica so…it should work. I was just thinking I’d like to use products from the same line kinda thing, that’s all. And just wondering if anyone has used it.

Getting the clone timing is key to being perpetual especially if you only have a low plant count, remember you also have your 4 plant recreational as well, if you are in Canada. Clones need a warm moist environment, with good air movement.

Thats a bummer. Start a grow journal and put up pics, like Hardroc, that way its easier to keep track of stuff, and get help if you need it. Welcome to OG

I’ve used Agsil16H which is potassium silicate. Love it. This is different, silicon dioxide.
Interesting it says “this product does not benefit dicot plants”. Cannabis is a dicot plant.

That is interesting, I wonder why it wont benefit them.
@HaRdRoC did you get that from a grow shop?

That’s the same type of silica used in the Mega Crop nutes. SiO2 at 0.15% but derived from potassium silicate. Same compound tho.
Plain Jane potassium silicate is very caustic and at regular doses raises the pH up to 10 and has to be knocked back down to around 7 before adding nutes or some elements of the nutrients added can drop out of solution or even combine with other compounds.
I got the Rhino Skin to use with the AN nutes as it must have some buffers in it so the pH only goes up to around 8.5 and after adding nutes worked fine without bringing the pH down first.
I couldn’t find the Rhino a few years back and bought a bottle of concentrated silica that is so thick it makes molasses seem runny and it says 1/8 tsp/gal too. Can’t seem to find the bottle atm.
Did a little searching and couldn’t find anything specific to cannabis not being benefited by SiO2 only that dicots absorb less than monocots. Still seems to help them. Hope so.

Botanicare along with GH and Gavita to name a few is owned by the Scott’s/Monsanto/Hawthorne.Bayer group of companies that have been fighting against us pot growers for decades and I for one will never knowingly purchase any of their products.
Like buying bullets for terrorists!

Ordered 2 quarts of protekt, this afternoon. I’m just gonna use it as foialor (How ever you spell it, lol) spray every week. Except it won’t be here for a month… Damn hydro stores here suck balls, unless you want AN stuff. They don’t carry much else. The ones by me anyway.

Yea, I’m not much for them either, but I’m still gonna use Botincare’s tea, until I find something else.
