Using silica...

Just wondering if anyone uses silica as an additive. I want to start using but can't find anywhere how often to use. Using GH Armor Si. Been using as a foliar spray but holding off on adding it to nutrients till I know a little more. Thanks!

I use silica on a regular basis, as a foliar and a soil drench 1/4 tsp per gallon for both.

How often do you use the foliar spray? That's what I have been doing. I mist once a day with a diluted silica / superthrive solution. So far so good.

I foliar feed with it once a week it a gallon goes a long way, I use a pump sprayer and spray the underneath of the leafs. Then in the beginning of the grow I use 2 gallons soak on each, once a week. And now on my flowering adults I use 6 gallons each a week, along with the foliar spray. Could I use more or less, yes I could but this is how I have been using it.
