It is normal that the water remains opaque just by having put the silicate on and waited 1 hour?

Sorry we can't see well on the picture but it's not easy to take "opaque" water in a picture ^^

What is "ro water"? I use tap water, EC at 0.25

I may be using too much silicate, I don't have a scale to weigh it

Ro water means reverse osmosis water... it's filtered water. Takes out the dissolved solids to near zero. Those solids could be attaching to the silica causing the cloudy water. Also too much silica could be a problem. Use oral syringes to measure.

GHE recommends 4gr/10l; I put half a teaspoon in 5l. I'll see; it's still as opaque as ever.

Same for the big tank, I put a good spoon for 25l. I will buy a scale ^^

For the initial problem of the topic that I also had, like a brown deposit all over the bin, I proceeded by elimination.

For my clones, I let the water rest, then added the micro, grow, bloom, then ph-; I left more than 24h, no brown trace, I diluted the proroots in water I added today, nothing for now, I'll see tomorrow.

I really don't see where this deposit comes from outside the proroot or the heat of the water. It has been at 19/20°C for 3 days; it was at 21°C 21.5°C before.

I will keep you informed

Thank you for your help
