I live in the desert and came across this stuff called Silica Blast. Silica is supposed to help plants better tolerate heat, so I figured I'd give it a try. The stuff was an amazing 10.5 ph, so I had issues with it from the word go. My water is already 8.0 ph. Twas a bitch to use and it stunted leaves. Perhaps it's in this stunting that the stuff works. Don't know, don't care any more, lol. Still have all but 3 doses of stuff around here somewhere...

And did someone recommend all those additives, or are you following a recommended schedule? Geepers. Seems cannabis would be cheaper in a dispensary. Like I said, I'm not a hydro guy, but it seems like a bit of overkill.

Besides your nutrients...
Cobra - Beneficial bacteria, B1, vit-C, kelp, humates
Gro-tek pro silicate - yup, silicate formula for heat tollerance.
Canna rhizotonic - more Beneficial bacteria.
Cannazym - Enzymes, more vitamins, desert (aloe?) extracts
Cyco B1 boost - (wow that's expensive...)
"Cyco B1 Boost helps to stimulate the growth of roots in new plants and can assist at any time in a plants life cycle, with root regeneration where the root system has been damaged or stressed through high salinity, pathogens, nutrient deficiencies and toxicities.
Note that this only occurs when the foliage of the plant is unable to produce sufficient supplies.
B1 is seen as an ??insurance policy? as it is difficult to determine if a plant which has come under stress is capable of producing sufficient B1."
