Terra Aquatica Silicate 1l
Terra Aquatica Silicate 1 litre is a pH-neutral mineral additive in powder form based on natural silicic acid clay and biologically transformed organic matter — formerly known as GHE Mineral Magic. It delivers soluble silicon that hardens plant cell walls and builds a natural shield against disease, fungi and insect attack. Natural colloids improve the cation exchange capacity of your nutrient solution and increase nutrient availability. Silicate stabilises pH and EC, protects against heavy metal toxicity and contains over 60 minerals plus calcium and additional carbonates for enhanced stability. Dosage 4 grams per 10 litres of water. Compatible with hydroponics, coco, soil and foliar application. The 1 litre tub is the standard format.
Terra Aquatica Silicate 1L – Natural silicon protection for stronger plants
Silicon is an essential element for higher plants but is often absent in hydroponic and substrate growing. Terra Aquatica Silicate — formerly GHE Mineral Magic — delivers this crucial element in a naturally soluble form that enters plant cells and builds a hardened shield against disease, fungi and insect attack. The 1 litre tub is the reference format for growers integrating Silicate into their Terra Aquatica protocol.
What Silicate does for your plants
Silicate is a pH-neutral powder derived from ancient geological deposits of biologically transformed organic matter and naturally formed silicic acid clay. It operates on multiple levels simultaneously:
- Cell wall reinforcement: soluble silicon enters plant cells and forms a physical barrier against pathogens and insects.
- Enhanced nutrient uptake: natural colloids increase the cation exchange capacity of your nutrient solution.
- pH and EC stabilisation: additional carbonates maintain stable conditions and reduce stress for fast-growing plants.
- Heavy metal protection: shields roots from metal toxicity in the substrate.
- 60+ minerals: delivers a broad spectrum of supplementary nutritive elements plus calcium.
Dosage and application methods
Silicate can be applied three ways, throughout the entire cycle from seedling to flowering:
- In nutrient solution: dissolve 4 grams in 10 litres of water.
- Direct substrate application: sprinkle 1 teaspoon (±4 g) around the base of each plant.
- Foliar spray: dissolve 4 g in 10 L of water, or apply 10-50 g per m² as dry powder.
Note on microorganisms: when combining with Trikologic, apply Silicate as foliar spray or localised at the stem only, not in the substrate, to avoid slowing beneficial microbial colonisation. In open soil, Silicate actively stimulates beneficial microorganism growth.
Integrate with your TriPart protocol
Silicate works synergistically with FloraGro, FloraBloom and FloraMicro. It strengthens stems and branches so plants can support the additional weight of heavier flowers and fruits.

Is Silicate the same as GHE Mineral Magic?
Silicate is the successor to GHE Mineral Magic. The new formulation is similar but improved: more carbonates for better pH stability, additional calcium and a finer particle size for enhanced solubility.
Is Silicate a powder or a liquid?
Silicate is a fine powder that you dissolve in water for application. The 1 litre packaging refers to the volume of the tub. Dissolve 4 grams in 10 litres of water for use in nutrient solution or as a foliar spray.
Can I use Silicate during flowering?
Yes, Silicate is suitable throughout the entire cycle from first leaves through flowering. It is particularly valuable during periods of stress, intense lighting or heat. Some growers increase dosage slightly during the transition to flowering to further strengthen stems and branches.
Why is silicon important in hydroponics?
In nature, plants absorb silicon from the soil, but in hydroponics and substrate growing it is often absent. Silicon strengthens cell walls, thickens stems, increases resistance to fungi and pests, and helps plants support the weight of heavier fruits and flowers.
