Definitely use silica! It strengthens basically everything about the plant. Stalks, branches, cell walls, resistances, the works. Keep following Dr. Bugbee's teachings, too! That guy has been researching and studying cannabis plants for a very long time.

I'm in agreement with Mrs larimar on this. I find it strengthens the stems and I use it through flower. The silica product I use needs to be mixed separately from other nutes, so If I'm making 5L solution I'll put 1L in seperate container. Put the silica in the 4L water mix well adjust ph, then the other 1L will consist of my other nutes then I put that into the silica bucket, give it a good mix and re check Ph and adjust if needed.

Hi, here are my 2 cents to silica Silica is important for all living beeings it strenghthens the connective tissue and has alot of other benefical effects ther is no problem in giving it to the plants- especially in bloom ( that was your exact q) i give it to plants who grow lanky and looking weak in tems and leaves. greetings to Thailand- congrats to legalizing
