General Hydroponics Armor Si - Silicon Supplement - 6 Gal

Stronger Stems and Better Stress Tolerance - 6 Gal Bulk Supply

Plants under heat, cold, strong light and handling need sturdy structure to keep growing well. Armor Si supplies soluble silicon, derived from potassium silicate, to help strengthen cell walls and support upright growth. You add it to fresh irrigation water and it works alongside your regular base nutrients.

The 6 Gal container suits growers who dose silicon at every irrigation across a larger garden, multiple hydroponic systems or several rooms. Small gardens can also use it, since the dose rate is low per gallon of water.

Key Features & Benefits

• Soluble silicon — supports stronger cell walls and upright growth.
• Potassium silicate source — supplies silicon and a small amount of soluble potash.
• Use through the grow cycle — apply from early growth through flowering.
• Works with many media — suited to coco, in-ground soil, peat lite mix, potting mix and rockwool.
• Adjustable dose — label directions let you match strength to the stage of growth.

Who Should Use General Hydroponics Armor Si

Growers in hydroponic systems, soilless media or prepared soil who want added structural support and stress tolerance. The 6 Gal size fits regular indoor growers and commercial operations that use silicon often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When do I add it to my water?
A: Add Armor Si to fresh irrigation water before your base nutrients or other supplements. Stir while adding, then add the rest of your feed.

Q: What is the maximum dose?
A: The maximum strength is 1 teaspoon per gallon of water, or 1 ml per Liter. Follow the label for lower strengths suited to your plants and stage of growth.

Q: What pH should I target?
A: Check and adjust your solution to a pH of 5.5 to 6.5 after mixing. Adjust only after all additives are in the water.

Q: Which growing media can I use it with?
A: It is listed for coco, in-ground soil, peat lite mix, potting mix and rockwool. That covers most hydroponic, soilless and soil-based setups.

Q: What does silicon do for plants?
A: Silicon is taken up by plants and helps strengthen cell walls. That supports upright growth and helps plants tolerate environmental stress.

Q: Does it replace my base nutrients?
A: No. Armor Si is a supplement used alongside your regular base nutrients, not instead of them.
