How can you get super stocky plants *without* dangerous banned PGRs such as Paclobutrazol, Daminozide, Chlormequat Chloride etc?
Easy: use proper bioavailable Silicon.
As you can see from the images of a jalapa, the background Si plant is thinner, taller and has smaller leaves. The plant with 40% MSA is so healthy that its primary leaves are bigger than the taller plant's secondary leaves and are raised up high and collecting more energy thanks to their larger surface area generating a positive feedback cycle of faster, more productive growth.
When a plant has a *truly* optimal supply of *bioavailable* Si it can build each cell significantly, noticeably, bigger and stronger. When that happens you get bigger leaves, thicker stems and branches, and a bushier, stockier habit despite growing a bigger plant overall.
And because (unlike dodgy PGRs from the bedding plant industry) bioavailable Si works by strengthening cells not impeding vertical growth and hindering natural processes like resin and trichome production (both vital ingredients in a plants natural protective arsenal), you'll get a healthier, natural looking plant, not a stunted stressed one.
If you haven't heard of bioavailable Si before, check out our FAQ (link in bio). it breaks it all down in simple, marketing free terms and contains links to external science. All plants use Si, and many common favourites respond the best including , Tomatoes, Peas, Beans, Salads, most houseplants, ornamental plants, grasses and more.
If you are already using MSA: you know the deal! Check the concentration of your current MSA (it's somewhere between
