Silicone bumps dry yield 28%

Comfortably numb!
Actually frankly I didn't watch it. It's off topic. This thread isn't about organic or inorganic farming methods and potential harms associated to either. Seen all these arguments before, back and forth between organic and inorganic agriculture. Any fool knows that certain big Ag practices are less than desirable - particularly when it comes to the use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. But what has this to do with silica? Silica is organic and the second most common element in nature. It's everywhere in soils, rivers etc.

I know you keep flapping your gums wrt it is not germane to the discussion, if you don't like our answers/responses. So considering this isn't your thread, sex and travel come to mind.

https://www.growertoday.com/amazing-sources-of-plant-silica/ "Some of the available sources of silica for plant growers include
  • Slag
A by-product from the industrial processing of iron and other alloys, slag is used as a source of plant silica due to its high solubility and concentration. It is usually a combination of silicon dioxide and metal oxides, but it can also contain metal sulfides and other metals depending on the refining process. When making use of slag as a source of silicon for your rice or sugar cane farm it is best you ensure that it has a high silicon dioxide content so as not to expose your plant to other toxic metals that are not beneficial to its yield. "


https://silicaearth.com/benefits-in-agriculture/ "Today most commercial agriculture-grade silica fertilizers are byproducts of industrial steel production."


Here are some more links and quotes about agricultural silica being sourced from the steel industry

And how many cannabis growers do you think are using this source of Si? As I said, as far as I am aware Si from the steel industry isn't used in agriculture. There ya go, that's why opinions should be treated with a grain of salt. Also, I'm still wondering what this has to do with anything. The study we are talking about here didn't use Si sourced from the steel industry and if cannabis growers want organic sources of Si there is Rice Hull, Burnt Rice Hull, Diatomaceous Earth etc.

You perhaps want to Google things and consider them before posting and making yourself look like a tard.

Q: What is the most abundant element on Earth?

A: Oxygen, which composes about 49.5% of the total mass of the Earth’s crust, waters and atmosphere, according to the textbook “Modern Chemistry.” Silicon is second at 28%. Aluminum is a distant third, at only 8%. Compounds of silicon and oxygen make up 87% of the materials in the Earth’s crust.

You don't need chemistry for this - not even high school chem. Google is your friend.

It all goes back to who stands to gain the most by all this "scientific research" I'll give you a hint... It isn't the rice farmer or the D.E. collector......

Yea I was considering what is on earth... not in earth... So you are correct with that statement.... I was not

Anything intelligent to say? I mean at least Weird brings some intellect to the table albeit too often throwing in some curly and highly questionable information also.

I'm for example still waiting for credible links to peer reviewed scientific papers showing smoked cannabis is entirely safe for the end consumer.

Yeah nah you blew it the moment you made yourself look like a complete tard by going on the attack with nitrogen. How did it go? Oh yeah ..... "hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahha". Yep...

As for that garbage, take your meds man. That one didn't even make sense. Perhaps try to write in a way that is intelligible.
