Eyes: rinse immediately with plenty of water, remove contact lenses and seek medical advice. Skin: wash with soap and water. Undiluted, it's harmful to the environment, so don't pour the concentrate down drains, and recycle the empty bottle. Full details are in the SDS.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.35rem;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:32px 0 12px;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05rem;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eAnother 40% mono-silicic acid is cheaper. What's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the dose on the label before you compare bottle prices. Divide the bottle price by the litres of feed it actually makes at its own recommended rate — this one makes about 3,333 L per 100 ml. That's the number worth comparing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05rem;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eHow long will 100 ml last me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 0.3 ml per 10 L, a 50 L reservoir changed weekly uses 1.5 ml a week, so 100 ml lasts over a year. A single tent hand-watered with 10 L a week would take years to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05rem;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eDoes it go in first, like other silica?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Potassium silicate goes in first because it's alkaline. Grow-Genius directs that this product goes in after your other nutrients. Follow the instructions for the product you're using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05rem;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eCan I run it every feed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Grow-Genius rate the root feed from weekly up to daily, so every feed is within the recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05rem;font-weight:700;color:#222;margin:22px 0 6px;\"\u003eWill it upset my pH?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It's pH neutral, so it won't move a balanced reservoir. Check pH after all nutrients are in, as you normally would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grow-Genius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54117920604474,"sku":"GG-MSA-100","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1567\/1791\/files\/mono-silicic-range.jpg?v=1790213789","url":"https:\/\/www.quickbloomlights.com.au\/products\/grow-genius-mono-silicic-acid-100ml","provider":"Quick Bloom Lights","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
