You mentioned spraying SA on your flowering plants in the video...

I was researching with ChatGPT on the timings of chitosan, salicylic acid, and other defense boosters during bloom.

It said that up to mid bloom is OK but from mid bloom on, they should not be used.

The reason stated is that boosting defenses takes energy away from calyx, trichome, resin, and cannabinoid production.

This was a surprise to me as the chitosal manufacturer states bi-weekly root zone treatments up to 2 weeks before harvest.....

I use Impello Biosciences Dune - Monosilicic Acid. MSA is the readily absorbable form, and it can be used the entire life cycle. I typically give them only 2-3 MSA foliars.(Depends how they react the first time.)I use it very sparingly in the foliar drench, at about 1/2 the recommended dose per gallon. It's a very small dose, but enough to see big benefits.

Ah, I see you were talking about SILICA! I totaly agree about silica.

SALICYLIC acid sounds similar but its a completely different chemical, more closely related to aspirin.
