Why is pH so important when using GT Silica?

Why is pH so important when using GT Silica?

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.
