Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin 0-0-0.4 Silica Supplement
Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin 0-0-0.4 is a potassium silicate plant supplement formulated to strengthen cell walls, reinforce stems and branches, and improve overall structural resilience. By supplying soluble silica in a carefully balanced formula, Rhino Skin helps plants develop the sturdy foundation needed to support abundant flowers, fruit, and vigorous growth.
Silica becomes incorporated into plant tissues, helping stems stand straighter while supporting tolerance to challenging environmental conditions. Rhino Skin is suitable for use throughout vegetative growth and flowering with a wide range of base nutrient programs.
Key Benefits:
- Stronger plant structure: Helps reinforce cell walls, stalks, stems, and branches.
- Improved weight support: Encourages the structural rigidity needed to support abundant flowers and developing fruit.
- Environmental resilience: Helps plants tolerate challenging conditions such as heat, drought, and intense lighting.
- Moisture management: Supports plant tissues against excessive moisture loss during stressful conditions.
- Growth efficiency: Stronger plants can devote more energy to photosynthesis, growth, flowering, and fruit production.
- Hydroponic compatibility: Works in DWC, aeroponics, NFT, drip irrigation, flood-and-drain, and other continuous liquid-feed systems.
- Coco coir safe: Suitable for coco and diverse hydroponic growing media.
- Broad nutrient compatibility: Works with pH Perfect, non-pH Perfect, and other compatible base nutrient programs.
Guaranteed Analysis and Formulation:
- N-P-K: 0-0-0.4
- Primary ingredient: Potassium silicate
- Product type: Liquid silica biostimulant and structural plant supplement
- Formulated pH: Approximately 5.7
- Application method: Root-zone feeding through watering or nutrient solution
How to Use:
- Vegetative Growth: Mix 2 mL per liter of water or nutrient solution.
- Flowering and Fruiting: Continue at 2 mL per liter throughout the feeding phase.
- Per-Gallon Equivalent: Approximately 7.5 mL per gallon.
- Final Flush: Discontinue Rhino Skin during the final flushing period.
Follow the applicable feeding chart and monitor plant response, water quality, EC, and reservoir conditions.
Recommended Mixing Order:
- Shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring.
- Add Rhino Skin to fresh water before introducing concentrated base nutrients.
- Mix thoroughly and allow the solution to circulate for approximately five minutes.
- Add base nutrients and other compatible supplements individually.
- Mix thoroughly between every addition.
- Check the final EC and other reservoir conditions before feeding.
Never mix Rhino Skin directly with undiluted nutrient concentrates.
Using It With Other Advanced Nutrients Products:
Rhino Skin is compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect base nutrients, non-pH Perfect formulas, and most other base nutrient programs. Add Rhino Skin to fresh water first, allow it to mix thoroughly, and then add the base nutrients in their required order.
Additional supplements should be added individually after the base nutrients have been diluted. Never combine concentrated fertilizers or additives directly before adding them to water.
Important Usage Notes:
- Apply through the root zone rather than as a foliar spray.
- Foliar application is neither necessary nor recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not use during the final flush.
- Do not exceed the recommended concentration.
- Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
