Armor Si™ 0-0-4

General Hydroponics warrants Armor Si™ to conform to its label specifications at the time of purchase for 1 year from that day. Any misuse, mishandling, or storage outside of recommended environmental parameters will completely void this warranty.

Unopened bottles of Armor Si™ maintain full potency for approximately 2 years when stored correctly. It must be stored tightly sealed, upright, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures. Once opened, it is best to use the liquid within a single growing season.

Soluble silicon strengthens plant tissue at the cellular level. This structural reinforcement acts as a physical shield, helping plants tolerate harsh abiotic conditions such as extreme heat, cold, drought, and fluctuating environmental parameters.

Silicon is highly reactive in concentrated form and will cause immediate chemical precipitation (nutrient lockout) if mixed incorrectly. You must always add Armor Si™ to fresh water first and mix thoroughly before adding any other nutrients. The correct reservoir sequence is: (1) Start with fresh water, (2) Add Armor Si™ first and mix thoroughly, (3) Add base nutrients (e.g., FloraMicro, FloraGro/FloraBloom), (4) Add remaining supplements, and (5) Check and adjust pH last.

For general use across soil, coco, or hydroponics, the recommended rate is 1 to 2 mL per gallon of water during vegetative growth and early flowering. In aggressive or high-demand situations, the rate can be increased up to 5 mL per gallon, provided you closely monitor your solution's electrical conductivity (EC) and direct plant response.

Armor Si™ is suitable for all types of plants and is highly beneficial during all stages of growth, from the early seedling stage all the way through flowering.

Armor Si™ is formulated with a guaranteed analysis of 0-0-4. It is a specialized silicon supplement engineered to deliver soluble silicon that reinforces plant cell walls, supports upright plant structure, and improves light absorption for better growth and overall plant stature.

It is designed to be fully compatible with any base nutrient program. Growers simply treat it as an added layer of protection, adding it to the reservoir as a supplement rather than replacing the primary fertilizers.

Yes. By strengthening the plant's internal structure and cell walls, Armor Si provides a layer of defense against environmental challenges like drought or temperature extremes, making it a valuable tool for crops facing variable conditions.

It is beneficial throughout the entire life cycle. In the vegetative stage, it focuses on building upright structure and stature; in the flowering stage, the reinforced cell walls and improved light absorption support the plant in producing higher-quality fruits and flowers.

Because Armor Si is a specialized supplement, it must be added to fresh water first before any base nutrients or other additives. This prevents potential chemical interactions and ensures the soluble silicon is properly dispersed before other fertilizers are introduced.

Armor Si provides soluble silicon that reinforces plant cell walls, which directly strengthens plant tissue. This architectural reinforcement helps plants better withstand environmental fluctuations like high heat, cold, and other stressors, while also improving light absorption.
