Hi

Im using liquid silicon ( Cheap silicon from local shop)

Iv noticed that its possibly making my PH very high and in turn making my pot trays very salty.

Iv read up on the Silicon makers website and its seems people use this type of silicon to up their PH?

Is there another silicon I can use that doesn't effect the PH and stop the salts building up?

Am i right in saying that rhino skin from AN has some sort of PH Balance in it to stop this problem? Hence why this is far more expensive?

Can anybody recommend the best silicon to us?

Thanks in advance

as far as I know dude most if not all liquid silica raises the ph and if your using synthetic nutes you will always get salt build up well the ones ive used (canna,advanced,dutch pro) I use growth technologies liquid silica cheap but it does the job :pass:

I can only pass on the info that was given to me,so use it sparingly,,when I had to re-up for silica the grow house "expert" gave me a long winded answer at to the two types of silica that could be in the bottles we pay for ,after is was said and done ,he recommended Cyco brand which has 3% potassium silicate( which he said is better than the other type silicate,can't remember if it was sodium silicate) and 3% monisililic acid which he also stated was a more natural type( I hope I got it right based on what he said)(more studying on this would be best for me)...anyway rhino skin only has 1% in it,,yellow bottle silica blast has 53% ,and there's a bunch of brands in between ..prolly not the best help,but that's all the info I can give at the mo....peace
