Description
Silicate support that scales up as the plant does
Stem Strength is a potassium silicate supplement that provides silicon to strengthen cell walls, giving plants sturdier stems and branches able to carry heavier flowers without extra support. Unlike a flat dose rate throughout, Indica Nutrients recommends stepping the rate up as the plant grows, since a young cutting needs far less structural reinforcement than a plant heading into peak flower.
As with any silicate additive, it should be pre-diluted before joining the main reservoir rather than added directly, to avoid reacting with other minerals in the feed.
Key Benefits
- Potassium silicate for cell wall strength
