CYCO Platinum Series Silica 0-0-3 - 20L

Silica Supplement for Cell Wall Strength and Stress Tolerance, 20L Container

Standard base nutrients typically don't include supplemental silica, leaving plants without the extra cell-wall reinforcement that can help with stem strength and tolerance to heat, cold, and drought stress. CYCO Platinum Series Silica 0-0-3 adds silica and potassium to an existing nutrient program, supporting cell wall structure and root development at any stage of growth.

This 20-liter size is sized for commercial operations running silica supplementation across a larger nutrient program.

Key Features & Benefits

• Silica and potassium blend — 0-0-3 formula built for supplementation, not as a standalone base nutrient.
• Cell wall reinforcement — silica supports stronger cell walls and stem structure.
• Root development support — contributes to root development alongside cell wall strength.
• Stress tolerance support — supports tolerance to heat, cold, and drought stress.

Who Should Use CYCO Silica 0-0-3

This supplement suits growers running an established nutrient program who want to add silica and potassium for stem strength, root development, and stress tolerance, at any stage from vegetative growth through flowering.

About CYCO

CYCO's Platinum Series line pairs base nutrients with a set of targeted supplements -- including this silica additive -- designed to be layered onto an existing feeding program rather than used as a standalone base.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I add Silica 0-0-3 to my program?

It can be added at any stage of growth, from early vegetative through flowering, as a supplement to your existing base nutrients. Growers often start it early enough to build stem and cell wall strength before the canopy fills in and adds weight.

Why isn't silica included in most base nutrient formulas?

Silica isn't classified as an essential macro or micronutrient, so many base formulas leave it out and treat it as an optional supplement instead. That's why products like this one exist separately from a standard base nutrient line.

How does silica help with heat and drought stress?

Silica reinforces cell walls, and stronger cell walls help plant tissue hold up better under heat, cold, and drought stress. This is a structural, not a curative, effect -- it supports the plant's baseline tolerance rather than reversing existing stress damage.

Can I mix Silica 0-0-3 directly with my other nutrients?

Silica products are generally added to the reservoir before other nutrients and given time to fully dissolve, since combining concentrated silica directly with certain nutrients can cause precipitation. Follow the label's mixing order and dilution rate for best results.

What does the 0-0-3 ratio mean?

The 0-0-3 ratio reflects the product's nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium content, with the 3 representing soluble potash -- the silica content itself falls outside the standard NPK measurement. This is normal for silica supplements, which are valued for their silicon content rather than their NPK contribution.
