The âSilica Plusâ I linked above uses the same source as the âSilica Boostâ.
Apparently the âSilica Blastâ has an extra ingredient. Iâm guessing thatâs the part Virginia doesnât like since Amazon refused to ship it here.
Of course, itâs like a lot of supplements for weed growing - 5 people will swear itâs the best thing ever, 5 will say itâs pure voodoo and wishful thinking! LOL!
Itâs such a small amount per gallon I figured whatâs the worst it can do?
From what Iâve read, in the wrong dosage it can contribute to slow uptake and lock out.
And we all know what a diva weed plants can be! LOL!

The 8 port one is 70$ for 25l/min but the lowest commercial grade one is 34$ and I get almost double the air at 45l/min
Maybe I should just go with the commercial one then, if more air is better it seems the way to goâŚ
Oh man so many silica options plus/boost/blast where is bang and buck? lmao

Lol. I just got the Silica Boost because Blast wouldnât ship to me (New Mexico). It turns out the potassium silicate is the way to go anyway. No matter which silica you choose, try to avoid grabbing one with high levels of Nitrogen
PS, if a commercial air pump can blow out more air for less money, do it.

Dang I canât do the blast or rapid rooters starters 
I placed that order, so now I need to figure out what small things I am going to be missing, and I need to get some 2inch pvc pipe to build connections. I think there is supposed to be a hump in the pipe before the res to help keep the buckets full?

It has to be the second ingredient thatâs listed on the Blast MDS. Otherwise the main active ingredient is identical among the three.
Itâs probably been deemed an environmental hazard because of industrial over-use.
Good luck with all that man!!
Think Iâll stick to my buckets and measuring spoons for now! 
HGE!!!
edit: I actually graduated to a sprayer! LOL! It helps make sure the watering is slow and thorough.

I havenât done this. I have all my pipe level and straight. My pump is at the end of my lineup and pumps back into the first res. It waterfalls down from the res into the rest of the buckets because water will always try to level out.

LOL! I just ordered a pound from Ebay yesterday.
Itâs nitrogen-free potassium basically. From what I understand you use it the first 2 weeks after the flip then back to straight Jacks. Itâs added to the mix last.
I saw @SilvaBack203 using it with Jacks so I had to ask too!
Jacks sells it as Bloom. Since Jacks is basically pure, pharmaceutical grade chemicals I donât think it matters if itâs their brand or not as this is basically the same exact thing they sell.
It was less than $22 shipped from Ebay and is just a gallon size plastic bag.
I got a month or so to nail down exact usage but it should be here Monday.

So do the buckets have to be ran in series? It does seem to make the most sense, pump into one and then let the water pressure push itâs way through the other buckets.
What I had planned on doing was pumping into the 4 buckets each, and then they would just balance out with the res. This issue with this is splitting the water evenly among the 4 buckets.

Yeah I would just connect them all. Maybe @peachfuzz or one of the cool cats who uses auto pots could weigh in about a better way though? @Nicky @Hellraiser uh⌠maybe others?
