That might help. I heard someone somewhere talking about manganese in cold temps. But it was just their own theory, nothing to back it up? I guess it is one of the nutrients that gets locked out early in the season.

Yeah, my theory is the growth hormones in the seaweed will help to lessen the effect of the stress hormones in the plant, and the silica is supposed to strengthen the cells, and then the humic fulvic increases nutrient availability.
Idk, just a theory.

That theory works for me! I like the idea of applying more goodies when it's cold and wet.

Maybe you know maybe you don't, silica is supposed to be the first thing you add to your solution. I do not recall the exact chemical logic, however it" falls out of solution ".
Here is a link that shows the reaction. https://youtube.com/shorts/2Vj5xt-K7J8?si=xbm3B7TJaBfmmQuC
As always no offense intended. Just hoping you get what you are looking for out of the products you use. All of which are great for sure. Breakfast of champions.
