Growth Technology Liquid Silicon Plant Additive

🌱 Growth Technology Liquid Silicon Plant Additive — Guide and Product Information

Product Overview

Growth Technology Liquid Silicon is a beneficial plant additive formulated to support stronger, healthier growth across a wide range of gardening systems. Silicon is naturally present in many soils but is often absent from hydroponic nutrient solutions, making it a useful addition for growers looking to reinforce plant structure and support overall plant performance.

Used correctly, Liquid Silicon can help plants develop stronger cell walls, robust root zones and healthier foliage. It is suitable for use throughout vegetative growth and flowering, and it works across soil, coco and hydroponic setups.

Key Benefits for Plant Growth

This additive is commonly used to improve plant strength and support efficient nutrient movement within the plant. It may also help plants better cope with day-to-day environmental pressures by supporting firmer tissue development and healthier metabolic activity.

• ✔ Supports stronger plant cell walls
• ✔ Helps encourage healthier root development
• ✔ Aids nutrient uptake and internal transport
• ✔ Promotes darker green leaves through increased chlorophyll production
• ✔ Provides additional potassium as part of a balanced feeding programme

📦 Available Options and Sizes

Growth Technology Liquid Silicon is a variable product available in the following sizes:

• ✔ 250ml
• ✔ 1L
• ✔ 5L

The smaller size can suit trial use, smaller grow spaces or hobby setups, while larger options are practical for regular feeding schedules and larger gardens.

Suitable Applications

Liquid Silicon can be used with all growing media and techniques, making it a flexible addition to many feeding programmes. It is suitable for use in hydroponic nutrient reservoirs, hand-watered pots, coco systems and soil-based growing. For growers building a complete feeding plan, you can browse more options in our Nutrients and Boosters range.

It can also be paired with complementary products depending on your programme, such as PLAGRON Power Roots Root Stimulator for root support or PLAGRON PUREZYM Enzyme Additive for Root Zone as part of wider root zone management.

• ✔ Growers looking to support leaf colour, vigour and overall plant resilience

Setup and Usage Tips

Use Growth Technology Liquid Silicon from the point that plants are established in vegetative growth, and continue throughout both vegetative and flowering phases if it fits your feeding schedule.

Add Liquid Silicon to your nutrient mix at a rate of 5ml per 10 litres of water. As this product can raise pH, it should be added before checking and adjusting pH. This helps ensure your final nutrient solution is balanced correctly before feeding.

• ✔ Add silicon to water before final pH adjustment
• ✔ Mix thoroughly into the nutrient solution
• ✔ Use consistently as part of a balanced feeding programme
