40% Mono-Silicic Acid

The strongest, cleanest, best value plant-available silicon nutrient. For all plants in all settings.

250 ml : makes 2200 Gallons of solution / 132 Gallons of foliar spray 

Grow-Genius 40% uses a unique new approach to deliver an easy to use, pH neutral source of plant-available silicon that’s tens to thousands of times cleaner and more concentrated than anything else on the market. In plant available form (Mono-Silicic Acid), Silicon strengthens natural growth and defences for bigger, healthier plants with increased resistance to:

• Powdery mildew, Botrytis, Black spot and other fungal pathogens.
• Thrips, mites, aphids and other biting and piercing pests.
• Heat stress, water stress and high winds / damage from pruning.
• Toxicity from heavy metals and other undesirable elements in soil.

Environmental Contributions:

• Increases yield per unit input and reduces the need for fungicides and pesticides.
• Ultra-concentrated: dramatically reduces shipping weight, volume and packaging.
• Made in the UK with silicon from Scotland, minimising product miles.
• Readily biodegradable: 95 % over 28 days (method: OECD Test Guideline 301F).

Usage Instructions:

In solution (via roots):

• Apply at 0.11 ml to 1.9 ml per 1 Gallon of water or nutrient solution after adding other nutrients. No pH adjustment required.
• Hand water weekly to daily.
• Add to irrigation header tanks weekly.
• Use from seed germination or cutting propagation to a few weeks before harvest.

Via foliar spray:

• Apply every 1-2 weeks at 1.9 ml per Gallon of water (up to 2.85 ml / Gal on woody stemmed plants if required).
• Use from germination / propagation to just before harvest with fruits, vegetables, salads, herbs and cut flowers.
• Stop foliar application at early flowering on species with dense or compact flowers, especially indoors. or in cold or damp weather.
• Don’t spray under full lights, in strong sun or with leaf temperatures over 30C.

Organic usage:

Grow Genius mono-silicic acid is not a registered organic product, but it is compatible with mycorrhizae and bacteria friendly growing techniques at the application rates we recommend. Silicon is not harmful to most beneficial microorganisms and low levels of ethanols are digestible by many soil borne bacteria and fungi. But above all, because our mono-silicic is so concentrated, the net addition of product to the soil is tiny: just 0.11ml/Gal in solution. This is the benefit of treating trace elements as they should be: like vitamins, not food.

Mono-silicic acid (also known as orthosilicic and silicic acid) has powerful effects at very small dosages meaning less input all round, and better outcomes for your plants.

​Warnings:​

• Close the container securely immediately after use: ethanol evaporates quickly!
• ​Do not allow any water or dirt into the container: GG mono will re-polymerise on contact. Use a pipette or other appropriate measuring equipment to measure out the required dosage (pipette included with the 10ml size).
• Contains ethanols and silicon: safe for plants when used as directed, but not for direct contact with humans: do not ingest, breathe or allow contact with eyes/skin.
• Always avoid breathing mist from spraying this or any garden product: always wear an appropriately rated mask, eye and hand protection when working with garden chemicals.
• See product packaging and the MSDS for detailed handling and safety information.
