I run Silica Blast as well, just not early on - I usually wait until week 3.. I do this because I tie my autos over something fierce and if you feed them silica blast, they will snap being overly manipulated - the branches are as strong as sticks with silica blast. :thumbs:
Once I "set" the plant, I start silica blast.. it's a great additive.. a must have for all growers, IMO.
Thanks for answering the questions Dub, I look forward to the smoke reports.. HighRise strains are something else.. :smokebuds:
