if that works out can you pm me mate
Lol sorry yeh i know had a moment and thought at work today, that is silicone!! Had to check my silicone bottle when i got home to be sure, was having a mad one ....
bigwity best thing to do is to keep it simple, iv gone back to basics over the past twelve months and testing stuff out to see what actually works. Theres so much stuff on the market it's ridiculous.
I feed at the minimum as well 2ml per litre of the base feed unless they want more, thats an ec of only about 1.2.
What nutes and additives are you using and what media?

I just add a capful of the Hagesan stuff to my nute mix once a week. Because I recycle my nutes after each watering this seems to work for me. It's approx 20x stronger than Cannazym so you don't need to use a lot of it, best advice I can give is to experiment, starting with a very low dose of like 0.1ml per litre and go from there.

Interesting shafty, I hear good thinks about Plant Magic.
Bigwity, that recipe I posted for Hammerhead can be made really cheap, you just need mono PK and sulphate of potash, being in a farming area, you should be able to find both of those easily.

Yeah plant magic soil rocks. Did all my peppers and chillis in it this year. Will be using it exclusively on the farm next year. They have done me a very good price.
Got my POTsil today. Nice and quick.
So, I have never used silicone before. Do I use from seedling until flush, or just on established plants - or just from flower.
At 0.25ml / L this is up with Root Excel on concentration.

I use it as soon as my seedlings have their first true leaves, I stop using it a week or two before flush as it can make buds hard to burn (silicates are fire retardants) and too much silicon is why a lot of the commercial buds you see from the Asians won't hold a flame in a joint.
Silicone is particularly good if you like to crush the stems (supercropping) to control height, I do that a lot due to height issues and feeding silicon the day after really helps em recover. I've had some really thick and hard stems on my plants due to silicon and pinching the stems, I had a 2 foot tall KC that had a stem so thick and hard I could have used it as a weapon! lol
Because I use coco the Plant Magic stuff hasn't really appealed to me, but I see they have a coco nute out now. I'll not be buying any nutes for a long time till I've used up all the stuff I have.
