Everything You Need to Know About Power Si Original

Power Si Original is quickly becoming Canada’s most exciting nutrient supplement. Proven to facilitate fast, visible effects, Power Si Original has a place in the feeding regiment of any garden, regardless of size, scale, or complexity. Proven to illicit thicker stalks, stems, and branches, Power Si is a must-have for new and experienced growers. For more information, read the passages below for everything you need to know about Power Si Original. 

What is Power Si Original? 

Power Si Original is the original patented form of stabilized, bioavailable silicic acid specifically designed for high production crops. Proven to build stronger cell walls, thicker stems, and more robust plants, Power Si Orginal utilizes high-quality sources of monosilicic acid to aid in nutrient uptake and fluid retention. Furthermore, Power Si does not impact the pH of pre-mixed solutions. So, this allows growers to seamlessly integrate this product into their established feeding routines. Read on to learn more about these unique aspects of one of GreenPlanet Wholesale’s most exciting products. 

More About Monosilicic Acid

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. However, only a small portion of the silicon element, known as monosilicic acid (also known as orthosilicic acid), can be absorbed by plants. In recent studies, monosilicic acid shows a remarkable effect on the uptake of other nutrients. And unlike other silicate supplements, products containing monosilicic acids have an accelerated uptake. For example, Power Si is the only monosilicic acid supplement on the market that allows for the quick and easy absorption of silica within the first 24 hours after application. In short, supplying your plants with a source of monosilicic acid is easily the most effective way to deliver the optimal benefits of silicon.

Monosilicic acid (also known as orthosilicic acid), can be absorbed by plants.

The Benefits of Power Si Original 

Monosilicic acid helps build stronger cell walls. The result? Stronger, faster-growing plants that are more resistant to environmental stressors. Power Si also corrects and reduces the space between internodes, increases fluid and nutrient uptake, and improves the overall quality of a crop.

Here are some of the expected benefits of using Power Si:

  • Improves Nutrient Absorption
  • Increases Resistance to Stressors
  • Improves the Germination Process 
  • Does Not Affect pH 
  • Fully Compatible 
  • Improves Quality 

Power Si Original is CFIA Registered

 Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) registration is an extremely important process that ensures product safety, efficacy, and label verification; it safeguards our food supply, protects agricultural, forestry, wildlife, and consumers. Clients using CFIA registered products can be assured that the ingredients used to manufacture nutrient supplements are tested against rigorous assessment standards. Cultivators of any scale can rest easy knowing that Power Si Original meets CFIA’s rigorous requirements.

Updated March 9th, 2022: We are excited to announce that Power Si Bloom has received registration with the CFIA. Growers can add the entire Power Si lineup to their garden with the confidence of CFIA Registration.

Company Name Registration Number Product Name
Power Si2022705APOWER Si ORIGINAL
Power Si2022727APOWER Si BLOOM

Easily Integrate Power Si Original Into Any Feed Program 

Power Si is fully compatible with any and all nutrient products on the market. So, feel free to add Power Si to your normal regimen. In fact, it optimizes the effects of all other nutrients by acting as a transporter for other elements. Think of it as a vehicle to help pull necessary elements and nutrients up through the root system and into the plant cell walls. This evidently increases general plant strength and stimulates immune responses. 

Optimizes the effects of all other nutrients by acting as a transporter for other elements.

4 Types of Growers Who Should Use GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel

Committing to a brand of plant food is perhaps one of the most important decisions to be made in the garden. Choosing a specific fertilizer, whether it be organic, mineral-based, soluble or slow-release, will determine several different and varying outcomes throughout the growing periods of a plant’s lifecycle, and at harvest time. For example, if you choose to garden organically, this choice will affect the options of growing media and styles of cultivation compatible with organic fertilizers. The same reasoning applies to those who side with synthetic fertilizers, as some mineral-based fertilizers are labelled as “hydro-specific”, and are more or less recommended for use in coco, rockwool, or water-based mediums. 

However, among variants of mineral-based fertilizers available in today’s market, there is one that stands out to consumers as possibly the most concentrated, versatile and affordable base nutrient system – GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel. Whether you’re new to the trade or have been growing for decades, Dual Fuel can offer growers everywhere the simplicity and quality-driven results so desperately needed in the garden. Interested? The following is a list of growers who should be using GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel in the garden.

The Novice

Don’t be ashamed, if you’re a novice grower, dealing with liquid fertilizers for the first time is a challenge, especially when the stack of nutrients involves complicated ratios and constant pH balancing. As a beginner, all you need for a successful garden is two bottles: Dual Fuel 1 & 2. Plain and simple, it’s easy to use. Dual Fuel was designed to balance perfectly in water at a range of around 6.0 – 6.2; so, although checking the pH of your nutrient solution is a good habit, it is in no way required to ensure the efficacy of your daily feeding schedule. With this attribute, the Dual Fuel base nutrient program can help save you time in your daily gardening routine, as well as the misfortune of feeding your plants at an undesirable pH range.

Even more attractive to beginners is the unmatched utility of Dual Fuel. In a sense, it’s foolproof. As mentioned above, the Dual Fuel base nutrient program was formulated to be used in a 1:1 ratio with each part, which means no matter the volume nutrient to be mixed, the ratio of Dual Fuel 1 & 2 will remain constant. This again saves the gardener time and headache, as feeding schedules are no longer required if you’re only using Dual Fuel 1 & 2

Here’s a tip: if you’re at all worried you’ve been using Dual Fuel incorrectly, check to see if both bottles have the same amount of fertilizer left. If both bottles have equal amounts, you’re using the product correctly. In the case you’re over or under a few drops, don’t worry, this will not harm your plants. That’s the thing about Dual Fuel, don’t overthink – just grow!

The Expert

If you’ve been gardening for years, it’s safe to say you’ve tried your fair share of liquid nutrient programs. Well, it’s time to stop searching for the perfect nutrient stack and settle on GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel. Just as Dual Fuel has its advantages for beginners, these attributes are multiplied when its aggressive formula is given to experts in the field. While beginners may be more zealous about trying different varieties of plant food, after years of cultivation, experts only look for a few things while purchasing fertilizers: complete ingredients, affordability and results. 

Lucky for experts growing with GreenPlanet, the Dual Fuel nutrient system fits this bill. Possibly the most complete 2-Part on the market, Dual Fuel 1 & 2 are packed full of essential elements for plant health. For instance, a brief consultation with the guaranteed analysis of ingredients will reveal the long list of compounds that go into each bottle. Not only does the Dual Fuel formulation have a balanced NPK ratio for vegetative and flowering growth, but the list of essential micronutrients in the bottles are vast, and include important elements like calcium, magnesium, sulphur, copper, zinc and more. 

The Commercial Grower

If you operate a large garden, you’re not doing it alone; it’s no secret that you need many hands to produce a quality-driven product. However, the overseer of a garden is responsible for many things, one of which is instructing the staff on the processes behind mixing and balancing liquid nutrients and water. This can often be a taxing process, filled with trial and error, multiple learning curves, upsetting crops and poor delivery of high-quality products. However, with the Dual Fuel program in the mix, these worries are thrown to the wayside, as the pH stability and seamless mixing patterns of this product evidently attempt to flatten the learning curve of any potential master grower. In turn, these attributes will arguably speed up production time, and lead to a cleaner, happier garden.

The Minimalist

Dual Fuel 1 & 2 are hyper-concentrated, with the average application (depending on plant age, size and stage) coming in at 1.0 – 2.0 ml per litre. And with its marginally low upfront cost, this program is a dream for the minimalist operator who is looking for an economical nutrient system that can produce consistent results.

Unlike indoor gardening hardware, like lighting equipment, ventilation gear and other environmental controls, fertilizer is something that is always being purchased. In response to this inevitability, GreenPlanet Nutrients formulated Dual Fuel, a program that attempts to shorten the periods between costly trips to the garden supply store. Dual Fuel’s hyper-concentration and easy mixing habits lead to less waste and more value per litre than any competitor on the market. In short, for all of us who value a minimalist perspective in the garden, there is no program simpler than GreenPlanet Nutrients Dual Fuel. Just add Dual Fuel in a 1:1 ratio at the recommended rate, and watch your plant explode with both vertical and lateral growth. 

Grow with the easy-to-mix and highly concentrated Dual Fuel Feed Program.

No matter your experience, preferences or the size of the garden, the Dual Fuel program can assist in providing you, and your plants with the stability, ease and value you deserve and expect from GreenPlanet Nutrients.

Understanding the Wicking Action of AutoPot’s Watering Systems

There is a long-standing debate concerning the “best” hydroponic system. But to argue for the superiority of a specific system, we must first understand the definition of hydroponics. In short, hydroponics or hydroponic gardening is the process of growing plants outside of traditional mediums and typically involves the “working” of water to save liquids, energy, and resources.

If we examine hydroponics based on this definition, then the “best” system would be one that saves us the most time, energy, and resources. However, since most of us are interested in results as opposed to savings, the most superior hydroponic systems are those that manage both results and efficiency.

Of all the hydroponic systems available to growers, the AutoPot Watering System is a great example of a prefabricated wicking system that gives growers great results with the added benefit of water, nutrients, and energy savings. But what makes AutoPot the perfect hydroponic system? Let’s take a look at the science behind the wicking action of Autopot’s Watering Systems. 

What are Wicking Hydroponic Systems?

Often called the “simplest” hydroponic system, a wicking system involves the capillary action of a porous medium delivering liquid nutrients to the root zone. Just as a wick might deliver oil to a flame in a lamp, so can porous media like coconut coir, peat moss, or rockwool transport water and nutrients to the growing ends of roots. 

A wicking system is so simple because it requires only a few pieces of hardware to function. For example, only four pieces of equipment are typically needed: a growing container, a reservoir, wicks, and an air pump. To function, the growing container is placed on top of the reservoir, the wicks are suspended from the container into the nutrient solution and the air pump is used to aerate the nutrient solution. By the capillary action of the wicks and medium alone, the nutrient solution in the reservoir is naturally absorbed and lifted to the bottom of the container. This system delivers great results. By relying on the wicking action of a porous medium, plants can regulate their own drinking habits as long as the reservoir is full; and, unlike flood and drain or drain to waste systems, plants with underdeveloped roots will not be overwatered due to forced irrigations.

The nutrient solution in the reservoir is naturally absorbed and lifted to the bottom of the container

The Wicking Action of the AutoPot Watering System

AutoPot has taken the simple concept of the wicking hydroponic system and used it as the main nutrient delivery method in all of their passive hydroponic systems. The same equipment above is used, but what makes the AutoPot system so special is one device – the AquaValve. This small, unassuming feature is solely responsible for the self-watering technology behind any scalable AutoPot system. Its parts are simple, but as we all know from experience, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most efficient. AutoPot’s AquaValve works like a miniature float valve, letting in just enough water and nutrient solution to allow your plants the opportunity to quench their thirst. As the AquaValve lets water into the AutoPot tray, the porous medium throughout the container lifts the nutrient solution towards the root zone.

The Benefits of Growing in an AutoPot Watering System 

Like a traditional wicking system, the capillary action of the AutoPot Watering system can benefit growers on three fronts. For example, growers can benefit from self-watering plants, enhanced control of crops, and savings of water, nutrients, and power.

  • Self-Watering: All AutoPot’s are self-watering. This means that as long as your AutoPot’s reservoir is full of water and nutrients, your plants will be able to irrigate themselves, free of any electric pumps or timers.
  • Enhanced Control: Not all plants grow at the same rate. Thanks to AutoPot’s AquaValve, plants have the ability to irrigate themselves. This benefit allows growers to let individual plants progress at their own pace, without the fear of over or under-watering. 
  • Water, Nutrient, and Power Savings: Because AutoPot’s are passively fed by mainline tubing, there is absolutely no waste. Growers can expect the results of a traditional system, with the added benefits of increased water, nutrient, and power savings.

Nutrient Programs for AutoPot Watering Systems

If you’re interested in growing in an AutoPot System, consider investing in AutoPot specific fertilizer. GreenPlanet Nutrients, for example, has formulated two nutrient programs that have had tremendous success in AutoPot Watering Systems: the GP3 3 Part AutoPot Program and the Dual Fuel 2 Part AutoPot Program

GreenPlanet’s GP3 AutoPot Program 

Offer your garden flexibility, control, and increased solubility with the AutoPot and GreenPlanet 3-Part feeding system. Perhaps the most intricate, and yet traditional nutrient system, 3-Part programs have been a part of our industry for decades.

By accompanying GreenPlanet’s clean formulations of Micro, Grow, and Bloom with additives like Vitathrive, PK Spike, and Rezin, the chances of success in any AutoPot system are not only increased, but guaranteed. Formulated for the veteran grower, GreenPlanet’s AutoPot 3-Part feeding program promises increased flexibility, solubility, and results at harvest time.

Guardian Fire Shield: The Latest Tool to Manage the Unexpected

GreenPlanet Wholesale is excited to introduce the latest addition to its product line-up: Guardian Fire Shield (GFS). This self-contained, easily mountable fire-suppression system can provide its users with peace of mind, reliability, and performance in moments of unexpected system failures. From lighting faults to cooling system failures, the garden can be full of potential hazards. To help manage the unexpected, GreenPlanet Wholesale is happy to introduce our clients everywhere to an automatic fire suppression system by Guardian Fire Shield

Watch the Guardian Fire Shield in action!

What is Guardian Fire Shield?

Guardian Fire Shield is a self-contained fire suppression system that can be easily installed in any commercial or residential setting. This small, yet powerful fire suppression system is designed to be placed above areas where a potential flame may break, for example, in the kitchen above the stove. While however useful Guardian Fire Shield may be in the home, this product also has amazing potential for the mitigation of fire damage in the garden. 

Due to its small size, the Guardian Fire Shield suppressant can be installed virtually anywhere in the garden, the most common places being above lighting panels, large outtake fans, and atop commercial dehumidifiers or air-conditioners. While relatively small, the suppression capabilities of this unit are aggressive, with the ability to cover a 16 x 16 room with non-toxic, ABC dry chemical in a matter of seconds. And unlike sprinkler systems, which activate at the sign of smoke, the Guardian Fire Shield only expels suppression chemicals when temperatures around the unit reach 135 degrees Fahrenheit. This aspect of fire prevention evidently leads to a decrease in false-alarms and subsequent water damage caused by traditional fire suppression. 

The Need For Fire Suppression

While technology in the garden has paid specific attention to safety in its innovation over the years, safeguards that combat the most hazardous complications are still the most cautious response. In the home, the most common tool to fight a potential blaze is a fire extinguisher. However, in an indoor garden or greenhouse setting, there is rarely a person to monitor the facility around the clock. So, in the case of a fire, the garden would likely be left alone in these moments of vulnerability, with little help being offered from an extinguisher which requires manual operation. This is where the support of Guardian Fire Shield can offer gardeners everywhere the ensured reliability and performance of non-toxic, automatic fire suppression. 

  • 135°F Heat Activated: The heat-activated trigger means the Guardian Fire Shield™ will not discharge in the presence of smoke. It must be extremely hot (ie. a real fire) in order for the unit to automatically discharge.
  • No Water Damage: Unlike water suppression systems, the dry-chem agent in the Guardian Fire Shield™ does not cause extensive damage when discharged.
  • Non-Toxic Environmentally Safe Powder: The non-toxic, dry-chem agent used in the Guardian Fire Shield™ is safe when discharged, as it is essentially a form of baking soda.
  • Approved Components: Manufactured with Certified Components.

To protect what matters most in the garden, and for more questions about Guardian Fire Shield, contact your local garden supply store or GreenPlanet Wholesale for tips on the latest tool to manage the unexpected.

5 Reasons Why You Should Use GreenPlanet Nutrients Backcountry Blend

Among all the variables which determine a successful growing season, access to quality nutrients is perhaps the most important. Any experienced grower can tell the difference between an outdoor crop well sown in rich nutrients, and one grown in a medium that leaves the plant wanting for more. Here are 5 reasons why using Backcountry Blend’s outdoor feed program will help you get your best harvest to date!

1. FEEDING IS A BREEZE

Not everyone who enjoys gardening has a particular desire to constantly feed their plants nutrients. A quick application of Backcountry Blend solves this issue for the laziest of us. You only need to apply the recommended dose of slow-release fertilizer every 3-4 weeks throughout the vegetative, flowering and ripening stages of plant life. 

2. PROVIDES A STEADY UPTAKE OF NUTRIENTS

As a slow-release granular blend, Backcountry Blend will not overwhelm your plants with nutrients when it is applied to your outdoor grow. We’ve taken care to ensure the macro and micronutrients are evenly dispersed over the entire fertilizer range, allowing for better and more even absorption.

3. DON’T BREAK THE BANK

Unlike some of its liquid counterparts for outdoor grows, these granular products are made to be affordable, while still providing quality sourced nutrition like a healthy dose of micronutrients with every watering. BackCountry Blend’s outdoor feed program has a staggered application rate of about once a month; and so, depending on the size of your garden, a set of this blend could potentially be used and stored for several growing seasons. 

4. KEEPS PH AT OPTIMAL LEVELS

Ensuring your grow media is within the optimal pH range is essential for the uptake of nutrients. BackCountry Blend is designed to neutralize acidic soils and prevent pH issues, such as nutrient deficiencies and lockout. Using Backcountry will bring most soils into the correct pH range. 

5. BOOST ENSURES A STRONG FINISH

Flowering plants require large amounts of phosphorus and potassium to produce large, beautiful fruits that we growers strive for. Our Backcountry Blend Boost provides exactly that: a huge spike of PK to improve yields, floral development, and overall colour and aroma.

The Growth Enhancing Properties of Fish Sh!t

In ancient Egypt, the flooding of the Nile River was of such importance that the year was divided into three seasons: Akhet (Inundation), Peret (Growth), and Shemu (Harvest). The Egyptians believed the Nile overflowed with tears their Goddess, Isis, would shed for her slain husband, King Osiris. Little did they know that the yearly flood coincided with the monsoon season in early spring. In this period, capillary springs and rivers would fill with water and overflow into the great Nile, subsequently irrigating the surrounding plains of Egypt.  

History and mythology aside, the annual flooding of the Nile is arguably responsible for sustaining one of the world’s greatest and most powerful ancient civilizations. At its height of influence, ancient Egypt could feed up to two million people a season, as the water which flooded the fields of farmers carried with it a rich and valuable resource – fertilizer. The aquatic diversity of the Nile River is rivalled only by a few other freshwater sources in the world; in this exotic ecosystem, fish produce waste which can benefit plants in amazing ways. In the case of ancient Egypt, access to this natural ecological resource did more than subside hunger, it even helped build an empire. Of all the products available in the industry of gardening today, there is only one bottled supplement which attempts to emulate the growth-enhancing properties of the Nile River – you guessed it, Fish Sh!t. 

What Fish Sh!t Can Do For Your Garden: 

Lucky for us, the same technology utilized by the ancient Egyptians exists today in a bottle. Cultivated at Fish Head Farms by providing selected tilapia with a nutrient-rich blend of food, Fish Sh!t is a root enhancing product which provides your chosen medium with a specially formulated microbial profile. By including Fish Sh!t as a supplement in your general feeding program, you can expect the following benefits: 

Increase in Yield 

Fish Head Farms states that using Fish Sh!t can result in an expected twenty percent increase in yield. There’s a lot of truth in the old saying, “the bigger the roots, the bigger the fruit”; with a larger root system due to the inclusion of Fish Sh!t, gardeners can be sure to expect larger flowers at harvest time.

People who use Fish Sh!t can expect up to a 20% increase in yield.

Tom Fox,Co-Founder of Fish Head Farms

Increase in Flavour and Aroma

The addition of an organic supplement, especially one as rich in natural material as Fish Sh!t can be instrumental in procuring a high-quality end product. Based on control tests conducted by Fish Head Farms, researchers found that plants enhanced with Fish Sh!t exhibited higher percentages of overall cannabinoids and a larger split between the most aromatic and flavourful terpenes

Increase in Nutrient Uptake 

The beneficial properties of Fish Sh!t can help to break down heavy salts, micro and macronutrients, faster and with greater efficacy in the root zone, therefore leading to an increase in cumulative nutrient uptake. Fish Sh!t can even be utilized during a plant’s flushing period to increase the uptake of heavy macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium before harvest. 

I was able to see immediate results in my own plants after just a week. I ran a full vegetative and flowering cycle, applying Fish Sh!t to only a few of the plants to get a fair comparison. FishSh!t exceeded my expectations, Jason explains. I ran the same strains, from the same three mother plants for a year, through multiple cycles. I can honestly say that there was a noticeable improvement between my earlier harvests and with every harvest, since I started using Fish Sh!t, the flavor and yield have definitely improved.”

My numbers show an 8-10% higher yield on average, with dense buds that have heavy trichome coverage and stronger terpenes.

Jason Gideon

Highly Satisfied Customer

OMRI Listed for Organic Use

Fish Sh!t is OMRI listed for organic use and University tested. It provides a complex Microbial profile that includes thousands of different species of bacteria, fungi and protozoa. This profile is closer to a natural ecosystem than anything you will find on the market. It is a piece of nature in a bottle. Fish Sh!t makes fruits, herbs and vegetables healthier, taste and smell better and it improves plant health, growth and production. Fish sh!t will make your plants smile and your garden thrive.

Whatever your motivations for using Fish Sh!t may be, the well-rounded, plant enhancing properties of this supplement are evident.
