General Hydroponics Armor Si - Soluble Silicon Supplement - 2.5 Gal

Stronger Stems and Stress Tolerance From Soluble Silicon - 2.5 Gal

Plants face heat, cold, high light and handling stress throughout a grow cycle. Armor Si supplies soluble silicon, derived from potassium silicate, to help strengthen plant cell walls and support upright growth. It also supports foliar development and light absorption, and it mixes into irrigation water at the start of each batch.

The 2.5 Gal container suits regular indoor growers and larger home gardens that dose every irrigation. It also fits small commercial rooms that want a steady supply of one silicon source across vegetative growth and flowering.
