Organic Root Stimulator by B.A.C. is good. Don't know if it's available in Canadia, but is recommendable, if you can get it. Keeps drippers clean too. In fact, all their products are pretty good. Cheers.

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

Nutirents for hard water Question regarding the correct fertilizer amount. Advanced Nutrients. If my water already has a high EC of 0.75 I use less base fertilizer (Bloom A+B). But do I also reduce the amount of additives like Voodoo Juice and Sensizym, etc? Is there anyone here with experience with AN?

Water Is it bad to make my water ahead of time ? I mixed my nutrients (big bud, formulex, bud candy & molasses) in with the water & have let it sit out for over a day. I heard letting it sit out gets the chlorine out (I put a towel over it though so my cat/other stuff would get in it)
