What does General Hydroponics Armor Si do for plants?
General Hydroponics Armor Si is a premium silicate supplement that improves plant structure and foliar development, increases yield, and enhances flower and fruit production. Armor Si also strengthens cell walls, improves heat, cold, and drought tolerance, boosts stress resistance, and enhances light absorption for greater overall plant stature.
Is General Hydroponics Armor Si compatible with hydroponic, coco coir, and soil growing?
Yes, General Hydroponics Armor Si is suitable for hydroponics, coco coir, and all types of growing media. Armor Si can be used as a growth enhancer added to irrigation water or alongside regular fertilizers, making the supplement versatile across a wide range of growing setups.
Why is silica especially important for hydroponic and soilless gardens?
In soil-based growing, plants normally derive silica from the soil itself, but hydroponic and soilless gardens lack this natural source. General Hydroponics Armor Si supplies silica directly, which the CFDA recognizes as a key element in all plant life, making Armor Si a necessity for growers who are not using traditional soil.
Can General Hydroponics Armor Si be used during all growth stages?
General Hydroponics Armor Si is suitable for all types of plants during all stages of growth, from propagation through flowering. The description specifically notes that Armor Si increases success rates in the propagation of cuttings, making the supplement useful from the very earliest stage of plant development.
When using General Hydroponics Armor Si alongside CALiMAGic and Flora Series nutrients, what is the correct mixing order?
General Hydroponics recommends adding Armor Si to the reservoir first, before CALiMAGic. When using Armor Si and CALiMAGic together with the Flora Series, both Armor Si and CALiMAGic should be added prior to adding FloraMicro to avoid nutrient interactions.
What is the silica concentration in General Hydroponics Armor Si, and is the formula organic?
General Hydroponics Armor Si contains 10% premium silica, which the brand claims is the highest concentration of silica available in any product. Armor Si is an inorganic-based liquid formula and is not OMRI certified, so the supplement is not approved for certified organic production.
