Liquid Silicon
Liquid Silicon by Growth Technology is a liquid silicon supplement for your plants. Silicon is a key element to improve strength of cell walls. Also plays a rol in how plants use nutrients, getting to improve efficiency in nutrient uptake. Thanks to a formula that contains a 6% of potassium silicate, Liquid Silicon gets and improvement of growth ratio besides a dark green foliage.
What's Liquid Silicon and why is it good for
Liquid Silicon is a silicon supplement that contains a 6% of potassium silicate.
Silicon has been proved to be a key additive that works at cell level, making cell walls stronger. Is specially thanks to this improved strength that plants acquire more resistance.
Adding Liquid Silicon to your nutrient solution turns your plants more healthy, with improved vegetative developement and ready to increase final yields per crop.
Another characteristic of silicon is that takes part in nutrient transport and use. Thanks to an increased efficiency in nutrients use and transport, plants can improve each one of the internal functions to get more vegetative growth and heavier yields.
Benefits and advantages of using silicates during growth
As we already explained the benefits of using Liquid Silicon are many and varied. Here you have a list of the most important benefits in our opinion:
- More absortion and higher nutrient uptake.
- Increased resistance against harmful pathogenic fungi.
- Works as protector against pest and external harmful agents.
- Higher resistance against drought.
- Increases tolerance to high and low tempertures.
- Better growth ratio.
- Improvement of final yields per crop.
- Takes part in chlorophyll production getting bigger and greener leaves.
- Can be used as pH corrector of nutrient solution.
- In hydroponic systems improves the structure and strength of stems.
How to add Liquid Silicon: Dosages and recommended use
Liquid Silicon is a supplement that should be added to water first (before adding any other nutrient or booster). Once added stir the solution and proceed to add other fertilizers and stimulators.
Recommended dose for hard water
If the water of your area is hard add a dose of 0,5 ml/L of Liquid Silicon.
Dosages for osmosis water and soft waters
In areas that benefit from soft water, or if you use reverse osmosis water, the recommended dose by Growth Technology is 1 ml/L
To correct pH of nutrient solution
Liquid SIlicon can increase the pH of your nutrient solution. If once all products of your diet are added, the pH of your solution is too low, you can add Liquid Silicon to increase pH of the solution.
In this case you should add small amounts of Liquid Silicon to the mix and check the pH. If after checking it persists a too low pH you should add more product to the solution until reaching iptimal value.
*Remeber to always check the pH of your nutrient solution before watering plants.

Liquid Silicon final reviews and its price of 1L and 5L
Silicates are one of those additives that you usually notice when you your growing skills are advanced. Although it's true that does not take part in a recipe of someone who just starts growing cannabis, it does get a notorious improvement in all gardens, so it is important to use them for many factors.
If you are growing in hydroponics for sure you'll thank higher stem resistance, to avoid loosing time holding plants.
If in addition to this advantage you get an increased growth ratio, a better use of nutrients that derives in an increase of final yields, higher resistance against drought, pests and fungi like botritis and phytium... Everything are advantages right?
Then add that it helps raising the pH of the nutrient solution!
About its price, must say that it has no competitors so we can't complain a single word. If you compare the recommended dose by Growth Technology with the recommended dosages from other competitors you will realize that this is a highly concentrated product, that is also sold for a much lower price and cheap than any other brand.
