spankydemonkey Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 another weekly update taken tonight at week5 flower (35days) drained both tanks, refilled them both with 60 litres of water, ionic bloom at 1.2ec,, and added 0.5ml per litre of liquid silicon, ph down to 6ph, also added 20ml of liquid oxy into each tank, also giving 5ml of liquid oxy every day to each tank, and topping up and adjusting ec/ph when needed which is daily. thats it folks. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpodiem Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Forgive me bro but i'd stop with the silicon really u want that stuff into wk2 of 12/12 no more than that just to strengthen cell walls then it's done it's job really. U can keep adding it and it'll bump your yield slightly but isn't worth it as the final smoko tends towards a harshness and doesnt quite burn to white ash even after 10 day flush. just my twopence worth mister as you were looking good 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankydemonkey Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 then you're smoking silicon bro in fact where did you get info from the potassium silicate is not good for you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kipper420 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 then you're smoking silicon bro The earths crust is mostly silicon, and plants grown in soil tend to have an abundance of silicon start to finish, regradless of whether you add it. So I cant really see how adding it is any different? Care to expand? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabthegrower Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I’m the same, sometimes I use silica until the flush other times I stop a week or 2 into flower. I’ve not noticed any difference. Just my 2p’s worth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
