I just learned about silicas interesting mixing properties last week lol. I havent had to use CalMg in ages but my seedlings were showing some signs of deficiency so I poured my silica into the mixing jug then added the CalMg... instantly turned into a gel!! I was like, at least it didnt explode or something haha. I know better too, Ive had plenty of chemistry classes, just had a stoney moment
yup I got that same gel in the graduated cylinder I was using the measure nutes with, turns out I didn't rinse it very well and the silica made things worse instead of better. I bought some of the new monosilicic acid to try but haven't been brave enough to add it to the nutes yet. Ended up buying separate measuring devices for nutes vs supplements.
