GT Silica

Nutrients and additives both play important roles in plant care, but they serve different purposes. Nutrients provide the essential 12 minerals that plants need to grow strong and healthy, offering a complete and balanced nutrition profile. On the other hand, additives are designed to give your plants that extra boost during specific stages of growth. Think of them as supplements – while nutrients provide the core building blocks, additives enhance particular plant processes, such as strengthening roots, promoting flowering, or improving resilience. Additives serve as supplements to your base nutrient solution. They enhance specific plant processes like root development, flowering, and stress resistance. Products like GT Silica, Rootzone, and Super PK help boost plant growth during critical stages.

Additives like GT Silica, Rootzone, and Super PK are specifically formulated to complement our nutrient range. They support plant health at various stages of growth. GT Silica helps fortify cell walls, making plants stronger and improve stress resistance. Rootzone promotes health root development and better nutrient uptake, giving your plants the foundation they need to thrive. Super PK supports strong flowering and bud development during the flowering stage. When used in combination with our core nutrients, additives can take your plant’s growth to the next level, ensuring that every phase of its life cycle is as healthy and productive as possible.

The frequency with which you use additives depends on the product and the growth stage of your plant. GT Silica can be used at every watering to enhance structural strength. Rootzone is great for the entire lifecycle, ensuring your roots stay healthy and your plants can absorb nutrients effectively. Super PK, designed specifically for the flowering phase, should be used only during that period for maximum impact. Each product comes with easy-to-follow instructions, ensuring you use them correctly and effectively.

Silica in the form of potassium silicate is alkaline, which can raise the pH of your nutrient solution. It's important to regularly monitor and adjust your pH levels when using GT Silica. If pH levels rise too high, they can affect your plants' ability to absorb other essential nutrients. Keeping your pH within the ideal range (5.5 to 6.5) will ensure your plants receive all the nutrients they need for healthy growth.

To get the most out of GT Silica, it can be used with every watering. Regular use will help your plants develop sturdy cell walls, making plants them better equipped to handle environmental stress and grow stronger over time. For optimal results, incorporate GT Silica consistently into your feeding schedule throughout the plant's lifecycle.

While GT Silica provides many advantages on its own, we recommend using it in combination with a balanced hydroponic nutrient program. Silica is most effective when paired with the 12 essential nutrients that your plants need to thrive. Simply follow the instructions on the label to ensure you're using it properly alongside your regular nutrients.

GT Silica is a potent additive that helps strengthens your plants’ cell walls, helping them become more resistant to environmental stressors like heat, drought, and pests. Though not considered an essential nutrient, Silica is extremely valuable for improving overall plant health. In addition to structural benefits, Silica also supports better nutrient absorption and increases resilience to physical stress, helping your plants grow stronger, healthier, and more vibrant. It also helps maintain variegation in plants, preventing the development of brown spots and improving the overall appearance of your crops.
