It says for soil/compost on the website... Just wondering if this is ok for use in coco?? Thanks.

It will be just fine.

Have you been doing any tests on these products oldtimer?

I'd be interested to see the findings of some comparison grows. I'm off to get a few of these products and do a few side by sides. I'll get to see how effective this essence is pretty soon actually, as I have a new batch of LSF on the way right now that is only being held at bay by good plant health, but you can see it's still there from the last grow. Can't wait to see how it does. I might leave a plant or two untreated and see how it goes.

just a thumbs up for the plantmagic products,especially this bio-silicon.
i,ve been using it for a few weeks now and have to say this stuff is the bizz.
i recently done a batch of clones all treated with bs,1 foliar spray at 1ml/ltr in veg and 1 soil drench at 4ml/10ltr also in veg and you could see a big boost all round.
i am 3weeks into flower and have been useing the bs at 4ml/10ltr water on its own no other feed and it looks like im growing a new strain altogether,the plants are amazing the leaves are massive and the stems are all extremely robust.
i am using all the plantmagic products atm and all are superb but this bio-silicon is the one that stands out for me.
peace all jaffaman B)

bought meself a small bottle of this and it arrived today..ive only just started a gow so lets hope i get the same results as everyone else...sounds absolutly magic stuff...

[RePtOiD]

Hi is there much difference between this and growth tech liquid silicon??? also silicon raises the PH value of your nutrient solution does this have any negative effects on the composts ability to naturally PH buffer by raising it to high?

Will have to get some, for me "plant magic" has been my saviour can grow veg outdoors easy no probs, but canna in a cupboard is a whole different game, my last yield was pathetically low due mainly to my not realising what was going on, still dont in many respects but with help from people here and "Plant Magic" I am feeling more confident about my next grow.. so off to greens I go..

Guys, wots the score any good things to report?????????????????????????????????????????/

[seedsandsticks]

I'm about to harvest a crop grown using biosilicon and boost. Yield looks good (have to wait to find out).The stems are thicker and stronger than my plants normally are when grown in the same space and the buds appear denser than usual.

The real surprise was that the plants finished earlier, has anyone else noticed this?

[Stonehenge]

Hiya mate..

Arnold Layne has had a similar 'problem' ... Early Ripening?

Have got some of this for my new grow actually. Sounds good.

[seedsandsticks]

Cheers Stonehedge.

After reading that I'll go further and say it was at least a week earlier. I used mixed lights and don't accept the outdoor temp/RH% theory.

So what are the key differences between PM BioSilicon and any other silicon additive? I'm sold on the benefits of silicon - have been using it for over 6 months now and my plants are 100% stronger with better frames and much less support needed (if any).

However, PM BioSilicon is £29/litre, and others are a fraction of that....e.g. Budlink £10/litre, Liquid Silicon £10/litre. What is it about your silicon additive that makes it worth 3x the price of a regular silicon additive?

Thanks,

GN

Good question GN. I too am sold on the benefits - last crop was a week or more early and I'm loving the strength it instils, but without detailed ingredient information the only thing we can do is shop around.

exactly this is what i was trying to get at with my question it was even a very scientific question that requires detailed info from PM but certain questions just seem to get ignored by these guys at times ive even submitted a question direct to them but have yet to recieve an ansear???



Im just gonna wait thngs out and see if any more info/feedback pops up im willing to try there soil nutes sounds interresting but as for siilicon for now ill stick with the competiters products as for the price of one of there bottles a second addative that adds all lthe humic's ect that there adding in can be bought seperatly.

If you'd have tracked the pm then you would have seen that I have only just read it and logged in for that matter We are fairly busy atm, so haven't got all the time in the world to be here daily answering Q's unfortunately I do answer as best I can, I try to log on as best I can....in fact, why am I explaining myself?

Ok, Silica in a natural form (yes it is present in some soils but not in a soluble form) is hard for the plant to "uptake" naturally. It is mad, because it is one of the most important fundamental influences for the plants structure, vigor, protection against small insects and mould penetration as well as having a great influence on other ingredients useful to plant metabolism. So, by combining the silica with humates at the proper proportions will ease the uptake to the plant as well as boost the microbial activity in the root zone. The biosilicon is in total soluble form made readily available to the plants via it's roots or via foliar. Our silicon helps the micro fauna, it does not destroy it nor does it "stress it out" so to speak.

As for the other alternatives out on the market. First and foremost they are geared for hydroponic users. None of which, that I have seen, are made specifically for the compost user in mind. It is almost like trying to feed your compost grown plants with hydroponic nutrient.....it may work to some degree but no where near it's full potential.

Hope this has helped clear a few things up We are hearing on a regular basis from shops all over are saying how their clients are witnessing a physical noticeable difference when applying the biosilicon, which is a positive thing to say the least.
