Product Description

FloraMax Silica contains aqueous potassium silicate. This form of silica is fully reactive, meaning it is completely soluble and can therefore be readily consumed by plants.

Key Features

  • Improves the rigidity of stems and leaves
  • Helps prevent leaf wilt during extreme heat
  • Increases weight, potency and shelf-life of fruit
  • FloraMax Silica is highly stable and concentrated and is readily absorbed by plants

What It Does

It is able to provide plants with highly absorbable molecules of silica which can give plants several benefits. Silica is able to strengthen cell walls within plant tissues and give them more rigid stems and leaves. For plants developing heavy fruits, this is ideal and necessary for the yield ahead.

How It Works

It provides stronger tissues making the plant more resistant to pathogens and intruders. The harder cell walls are more difficult to penetrate making the plant safer. If temperatures get too high plants are likely to suffer wilt, but FloraMax Silica can prevent this. It is also able to make yields last longer in storage.

How To Use FloraMax Silica 250ml

Can be used during the veg and flower. Silica should be applied to an existing nutrient solution and used throughout both veg and flower. Apply at the recommended dosage. FloraMax Silica is also very effective for combating leaf wilt during the summer heat. Prevention treatment is best done by applying Silica as a foliar spray.

FAQs
What is FloraMax Silica 250ml?
FloraMax Silica 250ml is a concentrated silica supplement designed for hydroponic and soil-grown plants. It contains potassium silicate (0-0-8 NPK), which strengthens cell walls, improves stress resistance, and enhances overall plant health. This 250ml bottle provides a convenient and cost-effective way to add silica to your nutrient regimen. FloraMax Silica is compatible with most nutrient programs and can be used throughout the plant's growth cycle.
What are the benefits of FloraMax Silica for hydroponic growers?
FloraMax Silica offers numerous benefits for hydroponic growers. It strengthens plant cell walls, making stems and branches more robust and resistant to pests and diseases. Silica improves the plant's ability to withstand environmental stresses like heat and drought. It also enhances nutrient uptake, promotes better photosynthesis, and can lead to increased yields. In hydroponic systems, silica helps maintain optimal pH levels in the nutrient solution.
How do I use FloraMax Silica 250ml?
To use FloraMax Silica 250ml, add 0.1-0.25ml per litre of water or nutrient solution. Start with the lower dosage and gradually increase if needed. Add silica to your reservoir before other nutrients to prevent precipitation. Use it throughout the plant's life cycle, from seedling to harvest. For foliar application, use 0.25-0.5ml per litre. Always shake the bottle well before use and follow the instructions on the label for best results.
Can FloraMax Silica be used in soil?
Yes, FloraMax Silica can be used in soil-based growing systems. While it's popular among hydroponic growers, soil plants can also benefit from silica supplementation. When using in soil, apply it as a root drench at the same rate as for hydroponics. Silica can help improve soil structure, enhance nutrient availability, and strengthen plants grown in traditional mediums.
What type of silica is present in FloraMax Silica?
FloraMax Silica contains potassium silicate, a highly soluble form of silica. This type of silica is readily available for plant uptake, making it efficient for both hydroponic and soil applications. The potassium silicate in FloraMax Silica has an NPK ratio of 0-0-8, providing a boost of potassium along with the silica benefits. This formulation ensures that plants can easily absorb and utilize the silica for optimal growth and development.
When should I add FloraMax Silica to my nutrient regime?
Add FloraMax Silica to your nutrient regime from the early stages of plant growth. It's beneficial throughout the entire growth cycle, from seedling to harvest. For best results, incorporate it into your feeding schedule from the beginning. Silica is particularly important during the vegetative stage when plants are building their structure. Continue use through flowering to maintain strong stems and improve overall plant health and resilience.
Is FloraMax Silica compatible with other nutrients?
FloraMax Silica is generally compatible with most nutrient lines and supplements. However, it's best to add silica to your reservoir or mix before other nutrients to prevent potential precipitation. If using with calcium-containing nutrients, add silica first, then calcium, and finally your base nutrients. Always observe your plants and solution for any signs of incompatibility. When in doubt, consult the FloraMax compatibility chart or contact their customer support.
Can FloraMax Silica help with pest resistance?
Yes, FloraMax Silica can contribute to improved pest resistance. The silica strengthens cell walls, making it harder for pests to penetrate plant tissues. This physical barrier can deter soft-bodied insects and reduce the severity of pest infestations. Additionally, silica-fortified plants are generally healthier and more resilient, making them better equipped to withstand and recover from pest attacks. However, silica should be part of an integrated pest management strategy, not a sole solution.
How long does a 250ml bottle of FloraMax Silica last?
The longevity of a 250ml bottle of FloraMax Silica depends on your usage rate and grow size. At the recommended dosage of 0.1-0.25ml per litre, a 250ml bottle can treat 250-500 liters of nutrient solution. For a small to medium-sized grow, this could last several weeks to a few months. Larger operations or more frequent use will deplete the product faster. Always store the bottle properly to maintain its effectiveness throughout its use.
Can I use FloraMax Silica in all stages of plant growth?
Yes, FloraMax Silica can be used in all stages of plant growth, from seedling to harvest. It's particularly beneficial during the vegetative stage when plants are building their structure. During flowering, silica continues to support stem strength and overall plant health. Adjust the dosage according to plant size and growth stage, starting with lower doses for young plants and increasing as they mature. Consistent use throughout the growth cycle provides the best results.
