Great white and silicone in coco

Hello guys,
I am growing in coco and perlite mix. Using full program of canna nutrients.
I was thinking about introducing silicone and great white to the grow but i haven’t done it before.
Clones are really poor and temps are high where i’m growing so i figured they would help the plants.
My question is will they be compatible with canna prog? I don’t want to be adding something that i already have.
Is mycorrhizae contained in rhizotonic?
Any suggestions how to use them from experience to get most benefits?
Thank you.

I mix Great White Granular 1 with my coco and also feed the Great White powder. RAW brand silica is in a powder form and mixes well with water, it lasts a while for the price. Just make sure it is the first thing you mix in. Cyco brand silica is great also and in liquid form.

Edit: Top feed the microbes to get them directly into the root ball. Mix silica in with your reservoir/feed.

Great white (GW) and Rhizotonic are not the same, and fine to use together. I used the liquid GW and dose at a rate of .5ml per gallon. Do you have any pictures of the clones? What is your EC/PPM? What's your PH? What does your feeding schedule look like?

You should do some reading on using Humic Acid....

I buy water soluble humic/fulvic acid by the pound for under $20. I can make gallons and gallons of what overpriced cannabis specific nutrient companies charge $20 a quart for. As for silica, I've used it but don't any longer. When I did I also bought water soluble potassium silicate by the pound for around $16. That's what the overpriced cannabis specific nutrient companies charge for a quart. I can mix it with water myself. I can also make gallons and gallons of silica solution for pennies compared to what people are paying for name brands with cool names and fancy labels.

I've been at this a long time. I grew my first cannabis plant around four decades ago and was indoctrinated into the world of gardening almost fifty years ago. I know my way around the school yard.

Love that site

I'll agree that site is a good starting point for coco growers. But there is some information that I disagree with.

Overall the information they provide is a good starting point. After years of growing in coco you'll learn what works best.

That’s good to know. Although I don’t like using it as never really new what was in it. I suppose something like 1 ml per gallon would be a good dose?

I use it to keep my plants healthy and strong. I use 2.5ml/g using a slurry I made with Potassium Silicate.

Code: 
Silica              
  148g (Potassium Silicate) to liter water makes a 7.8% concentration.  
  2.5mL of concentration per gallon gives a Si ppm of 23ppm. (and 24.5ppm of K)(~48ppm SiO2)
