{"product_id":"general-hydroponics-armor-si-0-0-4","title":"General Hydroponics Armor Si 0-0-4 Silica Supplement","description":"General Hydroponics Armor Si™ 0-0-4 is a soluble silicon plant supplement designed to reinforce plant cell walls, support upright growth and improve resilience during challenging environmental conditions. Stronger plant tissue can help plants maintain better structure as they develop leaves, flowers and fruit.\n\nSuitable for hydroponics, coco coir, soil and soilless growing media, Armor Si can be incorporated into virtually any base nutrient program. Use it throughout the growing cycle to support plant stature, foliar development, light absorption and tolerance to stresses such as heat, cold, drought, high light and changing environmental conditions.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Armor Si\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupplies soluble silicon to reinforce plant cell walls\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupports stronger stems and upright plant structure\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps plants tolerate heat, cold, drought and other environmental stresses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupports healthy foliar development and effective light absorption\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable for use from early growth through flowering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatible with hydroponics, coco coir, soil and soilless media\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorks alongside General Hydroponics and other base nutrient programs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Armor Si Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArmor Si supplies soluble silicon that becomes incorporated into plant tissue.
