Power Si Feeding Schedule

About Power Si

Power Si is a mono-silicic acid product, and the distinction matters. Most silica supplements are potassium silicate, which is highly alkaline and has to be converted by the plant before it can be used. Power Si is already in the form the plant takes up, so it doses at a fraction of the rate and does not push tank pH around.

What silica does is structural: thicker cell walls, stronger stems, better tolerance of heat and light stress. It is one of the few additives whose effect you can usually see with your hands.

‘Cuts’ is the manufacturer’s own column, applying to cuttings/clones before the Vegetative weeks begin.

Where the source chart visually merges a value across multiple weeks (e.g. one number spanning Veg Weeks 1-4), the same figure is repeated in each of those week columns below.

Program 3 and the Treatment row’s Control dose (5 mL/gal vs. 10 mL/gal) match this same PDF line’s Foliar Insect Control Prevention/Treatment split on the Standard and Metric feed charts.

A dash means Power Si’s own chart lists nothing there. All four charts on this page are genuine text PDFs (not scanned images), so every figure above was pulled straight from the manufacturer’s own file, not typed by hand. Feeding and spray schedules are recommendations only; adjust for your own water, medium and environment.
