Description
Optimum Hydroponix® Silicate
A user-friendly liquid formulation of potassium silicate (K₂Si), Optimum Hydroponix® Silicate delivers essential supplemental silicon and potassium when added to a final, pre-mixed nutrient solution.
Silicon has been shown to support stronger plant growth and improved resistance to environmental stresses such as cold, heat, and drought by reinforcing cell wall structure. This makes it especially valuable in hydroponic systems where silicon availability is typically limited.
