I grow in soil. So adding silica is against any logic even, but ... When grew in mass was using Buddha Trea silica acid , forgot exact name. Dosage was 1 ml/L for foliage, 2ml/l as water/feeding additive . Was using during 2-3 waterings , i do plains, so it could be 20 days or 5 waterings duration. Was starting those feeds only after final stretch was over in flower , so 3-4th week of it.

Don't use silica after the stretch period. It's can reduce quality. I use it for stem strength and flexibility as train a lot in VEG and the first 2 weeks in flower. After that it's not really needed. I use rhino skin at 2ml per litre. Other products may vary.

Oh yes, I do use silica from the begining to the end of every crop, 2mL/L of Rhino Skin from Advanced Nutrients (dosage can change from brand to brand, use the one recommanded by the manufacturer). ^^

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

When to start flushing Should I stop adding nutrients and just give the plants plain water now? I'm in Week 8 and many of the FastBuds Pineapple Express Auto grows I've seen harvest around week 10. Would switching to just water be a sufficient flush?
