Dyna-Gro - Pro-TeKt

Pro-TeKt^® 0-0-3, The Silicon Solution^® is a supplement that supplies silicon and higher levels of potassium to build stronger plant cell walls.

• Since silicon does not trans-locate within the plant, it must be applied and made available continually throughout the plant’s life cycle.
• In hydroponics, Pro-TeKt is a replacement for the silica normally found in soils, though those natural levels provide only slight benefits to plants.
• Plants supplied regularly with Pro-TeKt experience increased rates of growth and stronger stems.
• Deposited in a hard, opaline form in the epidermis of leaves and stems, silicon adds mechanical strength and supports plants’ natural defenses against insects and fungal infection.
• Plants become more tolerant to drought, heat, and cold stresses, and will support the weight of dense, heavy flower buds.
• Pro-TeKt can be used as a surfactant and to raise pH.  Pro-TeKt^® The Silicon Solution^® is recommended for all plants.

 

Application Rates 

• Hydroponics: Mix ½ to 1 tsp. per gallon of water for recirculating systems.
• Siphon Mixer: (1:15 ratio) Mix ½ to 2 fl. oz. per gallon of water for a concentrate feed solution.
• Irrigation Injector: (1:100 ratio) Mix 8-10 fl. oz. per gallon of water to make an injectable concentrate.  Apply Pro-TeKt^® separately when using a single head injector.
• Foliar Application: Mix ¼ to ½ tsp. per gallon of water and spray directly of leaves.
• For outdoor applications in soil, feed 1 – 2 tsp/gal with every watering.

Note: Because a high pH is required to keep Pro-TeKt^® in solution, the concentrate cannot be mixed with any acidic fertilizer.  Therefore, apply Pro-TeKt^® separately when using a single-head injector.
