Got ArmorSi and Diamond Nectar but not sure how much and when to use. running 3g fabric pots, 70/30 coco, perlite on a drip system feeding twice daily about 1/4 -1/3 gallon per feeding. I am using GH Flora line as follows: 1/2tsp micro, 1/2tsp gro, 1/4 tsp bloom, 1tsp calmag

I use Armor Si. Always mix it into plain water first! No other nutrients. Mix it well, I use the full strength NOT the maximum strength. It's the middle dose at .5ml a liter. Then add your nutrients as normal. Stop using pH up if you use Armor Si. You need to use Armor Si as your pH up now. 1 single drop at a time while mixing the nutrients solution ( yes everything pre mixed already) you have to do this slowly and check the pH every few drops because it will go up super fast. As long as your mixing 1 drop slowly while stirring you won't create a lockout. I've used a ton of Si and barely burned a plant after adding way to much pH down. It was well worth it. The stem on the plant is really thick at only 4 weeks old lol. If you use it as a foliar spray you need to really dilute it a lot. It will burn your leaves if it sits to long. I started out using it as a spray and kept burning leave so I dialed in mixing it. Just my personal practice.

Check out General Hydroponics website for in depth feed schedules. Be sparing with the armor si. It is quite alkaline. Make sure you add it first when you mix nutes, stir, then add calmag, stir, then Micro, stir then everything else. If you do it any other way it can lock out some of the nutrients I’d say only use 1.0 mL per of armor si and 1/2 tsp of diamond nectar
