Shogun - Silicon

SHOGUN Silicon | Advanced Structural Fortification & Environmental Buffer

There is a rather curious tendency in modern horticulture to focus entirely on fueling the plant's engine, while completely neglecting the structural integrity of its chassis. You can pump a crop full of premium macronutrients, but if its fundamental cell walls are weak, it will inevitably buckle under the slightest environmental pressure.

Enter SHOGUN Silicon. This is not a fertiliser in the traditional sense; it is a highly refined architectural supplement. By supplying a meticulously concentrated dose of bio-available potassium silicate, it effectively armour-plates your crop at a microscopic level. When integrated correctly, it forms a highly stable silicic acid that reinforces the plant's physical structure, fundamentally increasing its natural resilience against the daily rigours of commercial cultivation. It is, quite simply, an essential insurance policy for your botanical infrastructure.

The Rather Splendid Key Features:

Cellular Armour: Formulated with an exceptionally refined, heavily concentrated potassium silicate to radically enhance cell wall thickness and overall physical rigidity.

Biochemical Alchemy: When mixed sequentially according to strict protocol, it achieves something notoriously difficult: it creates a highly stable silicic acid within the reservoir, unlocking tremendous biological benefits.

Environmental Resilience: Vastly improves the crop's natural physical defences against mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and typical greenhouse pressures.

Reservoir Stability: Acts as a remarkably effective buffer, significantly smoothing out wild pH fluctuations within your active liquid-feed systems.

Commercial Concentration: Boasts a frankly unbeatable concentration level for a silicate supplement, making it a remarkably sound economic choice for the rational grower.

Application Protocol (Strict Sequential Adherence Required):

The Golden Rule of Silicon: Silicon must always enter the water first. Premix your dose of 1ml per litre in around 5 litres of plain water before adding it to your reservoir or watering can.

The Vital pH Correction: Before adding any of your standard base nutrients or biological additives, adjust the silicon premix to around pH 6.5. Skipping this step can cause the silicon to drop out of solution.

Continuous Deployment: Repeat this exact mixing sequence for every tank refill, from the first week of vegetative growth to the end of flowering week 7, as shown in the schedule below.

Feeding Schedule

From Shogun's official 2026 LED Coco & Terra feed chart, in ml per litre of water (same for coco and soil). Shogun advise premixing the dose in 5 litres of water and adjusting to around pH 6.5 before adding it to your tank.
