SuperThrive Pro-TeKt Silicon Supplement - 55 Gal

Soluble Silicon for Sturdier Stems at Volume - 55 Gal

Plants under heat, cold or drought stress can lose structural strength and vigor. This liquid concentrate supplies potassium and 2% soluble silicon to help reduce that stress and add mechanical strength to stems. It is formulated for hydroponic use and also works in soil and soilless media.

The 55 gal size is built for large operations and high-volume feed systems, where an irrigation injector or siphon mixer draws concentrate every day. It is a special order item, sold each, and ships at 518 lb, so plan receiving and handling in advance. Smaller growers will likely prefer a smaller container.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2% soluble silicon — helps add mechanical strength to stems.
• Potassium included — the analysis lists 3.7% potassium (K2O) and 7.8% silicate (SiO2).
• Liquid concentrate — mixes into water at low rates per gallon.
• Multiple application methods — use it in recirculating hydroponics, siphon mixers, injectors, foliar sprays or soil feeding.
• Soil and soilless media — one product across mixed growing setups.

Who Should Use SuperThrive Pro-TeKt

Commercial growers running recirculating hydroponic systems or irrigation injectors get the most from this drum size. Anyone seeking help with heat, cold or drought stress during vegetative growth or flowering can use it in soil or soilless media.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much do I use in a recirculating hydroponic system?
A: Mix ½ to 1 tsp. per gallon of water for recirculating systems. Adjust within that range for your setup.

Q: How do I use it as a foliar spray?
A: Mix ¼ to ½ tsp. per gallon of water and spray directly on the leaves.

Q: What is the rate for soil outdoors?
A: For outdoor soil applications, feed 1 to 2 tsp. per gallon with every watering.

Q: How do I use it with an injector or siphon mixer?
A: For an irrigation injector at a 1:100 ratio, mix 8-10 fl. oz. per gallon of water to make an injectable concentrate. For a siphon mixer at a 1:15 ratio, mix ½ to 2 fl. oz. per gallon. Apply it separately when using a single head injector.

Q: Can I mix it with acidic fertilizer?
A: No. A high pH keeps Pro-TeKt in solution, so the concentrate cannot be mixed with any acidic fertilizer. Apply it separately instead.

Q: What does soluble silicon mean?
A: It means the silicon is dissolved in the liquid, so it can be mixed into water and fed to plants through the root zone or sprayed on leaves.
