Can Farm Silicate 25% – Silicato de Potasio para Reforzar Tallos y Paredes Celulares

Frequently asked questions

• What is Can Farm Silicate 25%?

  It is a concentrated potassium silicate solution. Silicon is deposited in the cell wall and hardens it: the result is more rigid stems, thicker leaves and a plant that copes better with heat, occasional drought and pressure from fungi and sucking insects.

• Why should I add it to the tank first?

  Always add it to clean water before any other product and never mix it undiluted with nutrients rich in calcium or phosphorus. It is an alkaline product that raises the pH, so correct the pH after everything has been added.

• At which stage of the grow is it used?

  From the vegetative stage to the start of bulking, and it is withdrawn in the final weeks. That is the stretch in which the plant builds the stems and branches that will later have to hold up heavy flowers.

• What dose should I use?

  Start with half the recommended dose, because silicon builds up. As it is a 25% concentration, it is dosed in very small amounts and the bottle goes a long way.

• Silicate 25% or MSA 4.2%, which one should I pick?

  They cover the same goal by different routes: Silicate 25% is the conventional potassium silicate and MSA 4.2% is monosilicic acid that is already bioavailable. Both reinforce the plant's structure.

• What sizes are there and what does it combine with?

  It is available in 1, 5, 10 and 20 litres. It combines well with Cal Mag and with the Grow and Bloom base nutrients from the same range.
