Stronger stems and tighter growth from silicon plants can actually useMonkey Nutrients Stress is a highly bio-available silicon supplement built around mono-silicic acid (also called ortho-silicic acid), the form of silicon plants can absorb immediately. Silicon is not classed as an essential nutrient, but it is one of the most effective support additives in indoor growing: Stress deposits silicon straight into plant tissue to strengthen cell walls, improve structure and help crops cope with the pressures of a grow tent or grow room.Key Benefits Bio-available mono-silicic acid for rapid uptake, unlike slow potassium-silicate products Strengthens cell walls and improves overall plant structure Denser canopy through fuller lateral shoot growth Tighter internodal spacing and reduced stretch in veg Improves nutrient uptake and calcium absorption Boosts stress resilience against heat, cold, watering slip-ups and pests Suitable for hydroponics, coco and soil growing systems Weak stems and excessive stretch under intense lighting?Weak stems, leggy stretch and poor canopy structure are common under strong grow lights, and they cost flowering sites and bud density later. Stress reinforces tissue with silicon so stems and branches stay upright under heavy flowers, improves nutrient transport, and helps plants shrug off heat, cold and irregular watering. Tighter internodes and stronger shoots mean fuller canopies and more flowering sites at bloom.How to Use Shake well before use. Hydro, coco and soil: 2ml per 10 litres of water added to your nutrient solution. Mixing order: add Stress first and mix thoroughly before adding other nutrients, to avoid lock-out. When to use: throughout both the vegetative and flowering stages.
