Shogun Silicon

Tougher Plants, steady grower, fewer headaches

  • Dilution rate: 4ml/L
Product Info
Available in 250ml | 1L | 5L | 10L | 25L
Root Feed Add 1 ml/L to plain water in your reservoir or watering can throughout the grow. Make sure to lower pH below 7 before adding your base nutrients. For better results, try pre-mixing silicon into 5L of water before adding to your tank. For example, if you have a 200L tank then add 200mls of Silcon into a 5L container and shake thoroughly. Add to your tank, adjust pH to just below 7 and add your base nutrients.
Consistency Use every feed—veg and flower—for a steady build-up of strength
System Ready Runs clean in soil, coco, or hydro—no matter your setup.

Silicon: Your Strength Game-Changer

When your plants are pushing weight and filling out buds, weak stems and rot are the worst culprits. Silicon layers in the structure, making plants tougher, more flexible, and more resilient. That means fewer toppled stems, fewer sick spots, and less stress when systems or conditions waver. Think of it as the silent insurance for peak performance.

Why Growers Count on Silicon 

  • Fortifies plants — Stronger stems and thicker leaves give your crop a natural suit of armour.
  • Stress resistance — Growers consistently report silicon-fed plants stand up better to heat, pests, and pathogens.
  • pH stability — Buffers swings in the tank, keeping feed balanced and consistent.
  • High efficiency — Not classed as “essential,” but the benefits are clear — a small dose builds lasting strength and bigger yields.

The Science Behind Strong Growth

Silicon isn’t an essential nutrient, but it works like a hidden shield. Once absorbed, it embeds into plant cell walls much like a samurai’s armour — reinforcing structure, boosting resilience to heat, drought, and pests, and keeping energy flowing into growth and flowers.

Why Silicon Matters
  • Cell-wall reinforcement — Gives plants the backbone to support buds, fight off stress, and stay upright.
  • Defence-enhanced — Harder for pests and mould to penetrate, better overall durability.
  • Tank helper — Buffers pH swings and helps your feed stay usable longer.
The Shogun Advantage
  • Independent 3rd Party Lab Tested — Consistent performance, no surprises.
  • Broad compatibility — Whether it’s soil, coco, or hydro, this one works across the board.
  • Range synergy — Mixes cleanly with Sumo Active Boost or Dragon Force for pressure-free finish strength.

Are you using water straight from the tap, or R/O water?

"Hard" and "soft" are terms used to describe the quality of many water sources. Hard water has a high mineral content, which can cause hard, white lime scale to form on surfaces and growing equipment. Hard water may also have a high alkalinity and a high pH, meaning that considerably more acid is required to lower the pH in the hydroponic system to ideal levels. Soft water, by comparison, is a low mineral water source. Often rainwater is ‘soft’, while municipal water sources across the country range from very hard to soft, depending on where the individual city water supply is taken from. Other water types Some growers prefer to start with water which has been pre-treated to remove any chemicals, pathogens and other contaminates. RO (reverse osmosis), distilled water, filtered and bottled water are all options for small growing systems and those concerned with water quality. To understand your water type, simply immerse your EC/CF meter in your background water, read the display and select the applicable 'water type' or enter your own 'Custom' value.

Schedule type:

How aggressive do you require your schedule to be? Select Light, Standard or Heavy Feeding

The grow room environment strongly influences the water and nutrient uptake of your plants. Please select your feeding type from the information provided below.<br><br><ol><li>Light feeding for grow rooms where the leaf temperature is consistently above 25°C and the relative humidity is below 50%.</li><li>Standard feeding for grow rooms where the leaf temperature is consistently below 25°C and the relative humidity is above 50%.</li><li>Heavy feeding for grow rooms with LEDs and/or for closed-looped grow rooms utilising 'active cooling' with the injection of CO2.</li></ol>
