I like it as foliar. Or use it instead of ph up

I used this before I switched to megacrop. I personally wouldnt grow without a silica additive. It seems to make a lot of the smaller stems produce buds instead of just larf/popcorn and the stems hold up way better instead of flopping after week 4.

I didn't have any ph issues and the vendor has a bunch of other quality products.. kelp4less on Amazon.
