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.
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.
The key difference lies in how easily your plants can access and use the nutrients.
Once mixed, a hydroponic nutrient solution will remain in optimal condition for about 1-2 weeks. After that, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria or fungi, which could harm your plants.
For optimum growth, quality and health, mist your plants with GT Foliar 2 to 3 times a week.
For most hydroponic plants, a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5 is ideal. Regular pH monitoring is essential to ensure that plants can absorb nutrients efficiently and maintain growth.
