Which product do you think is better for strengthening plant stems to hold up those heavy buds a simple affordable Silica additive or the expensive form Silicic Acid ?

Most nutrient brands will contain some sort of silica. You don't need to buy every product available! Indoors the stems will never be the same as on an outdoor plant but you can give them plenty of wind from an oscilating fan and support them 🌱👍

Hello,
I think any silica is a good choice, however not all brands or types are created equally. Personally i would go with a granular silica because it breaks down over time versus having to be added into every watering like a bottled silica. It also does much more to the soil than a bottled version like helping to retain water.
But if you're a hydro grower some silicate is better than not at all.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

Advice?Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

我的女孩怎麼了，這個是生病了嗎？還是太多的餵食？在他長出第二對葉子的時候這樣的現象就出現了，但是只有一邊有葉子，我查了相關資料顯示這是菸草鑲嵌病毒（Tobacco mosaic virus；TMV）
我覺得挺像的。但是不是很確定，我該繼續等幾天嗎？還是把葉子切掉。
誰可以告訴我解決方法，希望他可以度過生長期，因為他是自動開花，每一天都很重要。

Potassium soil with neem oil and kelp extract as a foliar spray on seedlingsI have doubts about applying some foliar sprays. I've used Neem Oil + Potassium Soap with some kelp liquid extract, together without any issues. The benefit of using it now is obvious, but, are my seedlings too small to handle foliar sprays? Could I harm them if I apply this mix?3 years ago
