Silica Earth Volcanic Silica Minerals Micronized Powder - 1 lb

Dry Silica Supplement for Soil, Coco and Liquid Feeds - 1 lb

Many growers want a dependable silica source but do not want to pay for a diluted liquid. This volcanic mineral powder supplies silicon dioxide with calcium, magnesium and trace elements in a dry, micronized form. The listed particle size is 2-4 microns, and the powder is water soluble and wettable, so it mixes into liquid feeds as well as working in substrate.

The 1 lb size suits hobbyists and growers trialing silica for the first time, or anyone who wants to test it in one room or one system before buying more.
