How do you exactly use GHE silicate powder in hydro set up? When I mix it in the tank in 24h it has all settled on the bottom. Advice needed !

Go light and use the liquid version. This stuff will burn a hole through diamond, so dilute it well before adding to reservoir or it will precipitate you nutes. Use half strength. This will spike a 5 gallon bucket near 8 or higher at 2 ml/gal.

I tested the pH of my mediums and they were around 7 so, which I thought is too high so I watered with a 5 pH and I think this has brought the medium down to closer, around 6.5. I also put some worm castings for light top feed. Good ideas? Medium at 7 maybe caused yellowing?

First time in flowering stage. I am running a hydroponics system.I have two ladies in flowering and I haven't given my plant any silica up to this point. Is this a mistake? If so, is it too late for the benefits of it? I have heard mixed results. Thanks

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。

Is it worth buying mycorrhizae funghi at week 7?
Is it worth buying mycorrhizae fungi for my roots at this point? I only found about this now and i’m planning on flipping my plant in about a week. I’m wondering if it’s worth the investment or if I might as well leave it on this plant. Do I need to take her out of the pot if so

When to introduce nutrients?
Would now be the correct time to start adding nutrients to the medium? Just don't want to introduce them too early to avoid burning the plant.

Salt nutrients
Hi! Made an excel based on https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/water-soluble-fertilizer to make a suitable recipe for veg. I believe the desired NPK ratios are around 313. I think I made an ok recipe, although its a bit high on Calcium. Think this will work? Thx!

Canna Coco A
Recommended mix ratio for Canna Coco A & B is 1:1 throughout a grow. Combined NPK is 5:4:3 (A: 4-0-1 & B: 0-4-2). Is it beneficial to change the mix ratio in flowering stage to lower the nitrogen component? (for example; 1 part A & 2 parts B)
