Another si question

Has anyone heard or tried front row si, and what is di silicic acid?

It’s just a form of Si, it is good for strong stems and helps nutrient uptake. I amend my soil soil with diatomaceous earth, slower release, but it works.

How bioavailable is di silicic acid??

Good question monosilicic acid is normally the plant additive.

Has anyone ever used front row si and do you know what di silic acid and how bioavailable it is?? Every time I turn around I find a better si. I've gone from armor si with 10% potassium silicate to stout msa with 1.25% silicic acid and now front row with so called 10% silicic acid. The price was really low so I'm worried that I might have bought crap. Can anyone help me through this maze of silica

Try it on one plant and see how it does.

edit: I looked up disilic acid and there’s very little info on it, even from a pure science standpoint, basically I found the chemical formula and a couple non-plant related articles. I couldn’t determine if it breaks down into a monosilic acid, which is the one in the Si supplements.

I did the same, and only see. The name but not much info. So what's better, front row si or power si.

Can't help you there, I use DE.

I thought you guys were the Top Gun of growing. The best of the best. Is there no one out there with any kind of organic chemistry background that can give more info on disilicic acid? Or how bioavailable it is. I thought this is where the Pros hung out.

Lol. Call the silica experts! Send out the bat signals. Someone might know. Kinda splittings hairs if you ask me. Not sure silica is even considered an organic compound or even s plant nutrient but I’m definitely not top gun so I digress.

i can feel the need, the need for weed

Simple question, was the disilic acid marketed as an amendment for plants?

Yes

Then I’d use it on one or two plants, and use the other stuff on different plants and compare the results. Truly that’s better than asking, because the variables are all basically the same.

I don't have that kind of time. I'm terminal and just trying to grow the best medicine as fast as I can. I realized it's cheaper to just grow your own, plus I'm house bound and growing gives me a lot of enjoyment. And I don't have to pay those crazy prices

Sorry to hear of your situation. I really don’t think it’s going to make that much difference which Si product you use, use any of them, The difference in yield./quality between the Si supplements will be negligible. Best of luck!

Thanks. You guys really did help me out. I appreciate everyone's comments.
Smoke until you can't smoke anymore. Then smoke one more.

I'm sorry about that let me cut to the chase. The simple answer is order in some hydro nutrients. Any hydro SI will work for you. I use Botanicare and Grotek both work well and I get whatever's cheapest.
