BlueGold® Silica (OMRI Listed)

OMRI LISTED SILICA –
DERIVED FROM: PURE SILICA QUARTZ

WHAT CAN PROPER SILICA LEVELS DO FOR YOU?

Silica (Si), referred to on some labels as Silicon or Silica Dioxide, is a soil element associated with plant cellular structure, electrical exchanges, and nutrient-to-nutrient ionic bonding. Silica increases plant rigidity, immunity, light absorption, and fruit size. It also aids in heat and moisture stress tolerance. It has also been associated with correcting Hollow Stem Syndrome and increasing nutrient uptake. Silica is the third most powerful element, with Calcium and Phosphate tied together for the first and second (based on Eden R&D & Results). 

It is the most abundant soil element, yet it is referred to by plant biologists as a “non-essential beneficial plant nutrient.” This is equivalent to the mentality of recognizing there are over 90 periodic elements essential to “perfect” growth and yet stating you can grow “perfectly” with just only three of them (NPK) until the end of time. This incorrect mentality that has led to the lowest vitamin and mineral content in crops in the history of mankind is the same that led us to build the BlueGold® System of products to grow plants at maximum potential through the power of proper nutrition.

ABOUT BLUEGOLD® SILICA

BlueGold® Silica undergoes our Eden Synergy micronization process to maximize immediate bioavailability and is combined with our flagship BlueGold® technology. We process the raw Silica using only mechanical means, zero chemicals, acids, or solvents of any kind.

BlueGold® Silica is raw mined and formulated from one of the world’s purest crystal clear SiO2 Quartz deposits. The computer chip industry highly uses this specific mine for its purity and high memory capability. Due to the purity of the source and the efficiency of our Trade Secret Manufacturing process, BlueGold® Silica is extremely powerful, having only required 1 oz per acre to move plant sap 6 +/- PPMs on 2’ crops within hours of application (*when using BlueGold® Solutions, Apical Testing, and proper pH is established). It is truly explosive. We like to see between 100 and 125 PPM of Silica in properly balanced nutrient Plant Sap Ratios (and 5-20 PPM in the soil). A balance of Iodine and Silica makes for bulletproof plants when proper Calcium, Phosphate, Total Nitrogen, and Carbon are established. 

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

For best results, this product must be used in conjunction with a proper Soil and Sap Test Analysis and applied according to test results for the crop type, crop height, and PPM change required. Properly balancing nutrients by simultaneously lowering all excess and raising all deficient nutrient PPMs is critical to long-lasting beneficial results in any crop.

Depending on the Silica PPM change needed, possible rates are as follows: If by foliar, 8 to 32 fl. oz. per acre with a minimum of 21 gallons of water. A non-guaranteed general use recommendation of this product in foliar applications per acre basis is 1oz per one foot of crop height for a desired plant sap movement of 1 PPM. If by fertigation injection, 1 to 9 fl. oz. per acre. If by aerial, 45 to 64 fl. oz. per 5 gallons of water used per acre. If by pivot or wheel line, apply at 100% ground speed, then resume normal ground speed watering. It can be applied in all weather conditions, including rain and extreme heat. The best spray time is early morning when dew is present. Rates subject to excesses, i.e., salts, chlorides, metals, sulfur, etc.

COVERAGE:

With any BlueGold® Solution, you must cover the entire plant to a drip (fruit, leaves [especially on the bottom], stalk, stem, super-structure, etc.). Spray pressure and nozzles change as the growth changes on the crop throughout its growing season. Your field spray operator needs to spray 50′ or so. And we highly recommend getting off and inspecting the coverage, digging through the canopy, and then adjusting the pressure or nozzles as necessary. Many growers make the big mistake of not double-checking the application results. A few moments to check IS the difference in saving or losing a crop. BlueGold® can only work on a crop as well as it is applied. We recommend TJ60-8010VS nozzles and has an 80-degree fan and sprays 1 gallon per minute. Lesser degrees (example 60) have heavier droplets, so the wind does not interfere with the spray and is primarily meant to spray the soil. The 80-degree nozzle has a finer mist, so the droplets bounce all over and get optimum foliage coverage on a foliar spray. Lesser degrees can also require higher pressure (for example, 90 PSI) to get full function, and our recommendation requires 30-60 PSI (2-4 bar).

CAUTION: BLUEGOLD® SILICA MAGNIFIES WHAT IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH.

BlueGold® Silica is an OMRI-listed Input (please contact your certifier before use). Rates depend on the PPM change needed. We recommend Apical Crop Science Soil and Sap testing. 

Do not use with synthetically enhanced or grow media with excesses of Na Sodium, Chlorides, Aluminum, Sulfur, Magnesium, Potassium, NO3/NH4, Iron, and Boron with BlueGold®. We strongly recommend avoiding ocean-based products high in Na Sodium, Chlorides, and other salts with our Solutions and Sulfur-based products, salt, and heavy metal humus, manures (primarily commercial), and composts (especially mushroom, dead animal, etc.), etc. These inputs are upside down with excesses. The BlueGold® Grow System is based on balanced Nutritionals. By itself, BlueGold®, at recommended rates using Apical Testing, will not harm ANY crop, plant, biology, system, human, animal, environment, pollinator, or beneficial (including birds, butterflies, earthworms, etc.). Do NOT combine with pesticides/chemicals/plant cleaners/etc. Very recent or current use of chemicals like fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, algaecides, bactericides, miticides, pesticides, biocides, fumigants, plant growth regulators, pH Up/Down chemicals, dyes, etc., – all can cause an unfavorable interaction due to the Wetting Agent properties of BlueGold® Solutions, which can magnify the strength of said chemical. Strengthened doses of those chemicals can result in direct stress, burning, or death of plants. BlueGold® Solutions by themselves, at recommended rates, without chemical interactions, will never cause these issues in any plant or soil (when used as directed). Users must respect BlueGold® labels and manufacturer warnings to not combine with chemical/synthetic/excess element inputs by +/- 90%. It is the user’s choice against our directions/recommendations. If you encounter problems in the plants from the previously mentioned by your choice, STOP. If you quickly move the pH to 6.4 with the help of pH adjusters, without adjusting inputs, you’re drastically making inputs more available, which results in stressed, burned, or dead plants from too big of a hit from the nutrients that are now available at a much higher % than previously. This is especially true when all the chemical/synthetic/excesses stored up flood the plants at even higher EC/PPM values. Likewise, if you do not adjust inputs while using BlueGold®, as soil/sap pH is driven to 6.4, the same can happen over an extended period depending on soil and watering conditions. Store in a cool place.

As the manufacturer, we offer a 100% Guarantee when used as directed, within the Eden Guaranteed Grow Program. A limited guarantee restricted to exclusive use with BlueGold® products and systems subject to the Apical soil, sap, water testing conditions, and Postal damages. No warranty or fitment of purpose promised.
