I use 3ml/gal for clones
2ml/gal for seedlings
5ml/gal for flowering plants
Have to add this first and mix it up and then add the other things.

Protekt is a silicon supplement, it is for building stronger plant walls not adjusting ph. All additives shoould be added after main nutes and before adjusting ph to prevent potential lockouts.

he is right read the bottle. the protekt will react with nutes unless diluted first. but you may be able to dilute and add after nutes like superstoner says, id be interested to hear why it creates lockouts if added first? (it says add first on the bottle) but i will definately dilute and add after nutes if thats better, i just want to be sure so please lemme know why

I think it chelates the other nutrients present.
Also have to rinse the pipette used(if you use one, I do)

Add pro-tekt first and let it mix for a couple minutes. If you don't do this, the shit will turn to plastic in your res. Take a shot glass, pour in some protekt, pour in some nutes, observe.
He recommended it for your low ph because protekt raises your ph and running silica is good anyway for the already mentioned benefits.
TRUE, however because of its high pH I am able to use it to keep my pH in balance. A dilute solution of ProTekt works well to adjust the pH of an otherwise properly buffered nute solution.

Just keep in mind that not all silicon additives will raise ph, some will lower it.
