Grow Mediums Silica product for reservoir

[lunarman]

I searched this forum for Silica and didn't find much.

I'm growing in coco in autopots.

I will be using Remo nutes and I would like to amend in some silica in to the feedings via the reservoir. What products are recommended?

Diotmaceous earth is the most obvious one, not sure on commercial formulas

I found a youtube mini comparison on Silica's last night and Silica Blast was the most affordable and had the least percentage of Potassium silicate of all the products.

But it seems to be popular. Is it good enough?

As a top dressing?

I do not run auto pots or DWC. I will let the pros chime in on that..however, I can certainly tell a difference from one plant with vs without on my soil grows

I use 5-10mm size granules sparingly.

A little on surface and add to tub if I feel needed.
Lot of silica and pest defence, I like it. Works wonders for me !

Careful when handling RAW silicon dioxide. Breathing the dust from that can accumulate to your lungs and lead to various illnesses, like silicosis.

I prefer liquid products because of this. AN has Rhino Skin also. Expensive but good and wont affect the pH of your solution.
