Buddhas Tree Solar Green Power — Silicic Acid Additive for Stronger, Healthier Plants
Best for: Growers wanting to strengthen plant structure, boost disease resistance, and maximise photosynthesis across all growing systems
Our thoughts
Solar Green Power is the real deal if you're serious about plant health. Pure silicic acid in colloidal form means your plants actually absorb it properly — none of the potassium silicate guesswork. One of those additives that quietly does heavy lifting without needing fanfare. Retailers we know stock it specifically because growers come back for it.
Buddhas Tree Solar Green Power is a silicic acid plant additive that strengthens plant structure from the cell wall up. It's a colloidal dispersion of nano-particle silica — 10% amorphous SiO₂ in its most bioavailable form — designed to work across hydroponic systems, coco, soil, and hand-watering setups equally well.
The job it does: thicker stems, stronger immune response, better nutrient uptake, and genuine resistance to environmental stress. It works throughout the entire growing cycle, vegetative through to finish. And unlike potassium silicate products, your plants actually get to use it properly because it's already in the form they naturally absorb from soil.
How it compares
Solar Green Power sits in the premium silicic acid tier — pure monosilicic acid, not potassium silicate.
-
vs. Basic potassium silicate products: Higher bioavailability, nano-particle technology means faster plant uptake, measurably better results per dose
-
vs. Other stabilised silicic acids: Colloidal suspension gives superior stability and plant penetration — the nano particles (around 15 nanometres) actually get into leaf tissue and form proper silicate layers
-
vs. Powder/granule silica: Liquid format is immediately available to roots, no dissolution time, precise dosing
Bottom line: you're paying for science that works. The colloidal nano-tech isn't marketing — it directly improves plant uptake compared to cheaper alternatives.
Usage guidance
Root feeding (hydroponic or hand-watering)
Add 0.25–0.5ml per litre of nutrient solution. Add nutrients first, then Solar Green Power. Works in any system — drip, flood table, hand watering, NFT, whatever. Compatible with any grow media.
Foliar spraying
Mix at 2ml per litre of water and spray leaf surfaces in the evening. The nano particles penetrate leaf cuticles and build that silicate layer that gives real structural benefit and pest resistance.
Throughout the entire cycle
Use from seedling through to harvest. No gaps, no "only in veg" or "only in flower" — silica benefits the plant at every stage. Stronger stems early mean better bud sites and less collapse later. Thicker cell walls mean better disease suppression when conditions get tight.
pH note
This product is mildly alkaline, so it will nudge your nutrient solution pH upward slightly. Account for this when calibrating — you may need marginally less pH-down than usual. Check and adjust after adding Solar Green Power, not before.
Pairs well with
Combines cleanly with any nutrient line and any other Buddhas Tree additives. Retailers often recommend running it alongside PK boosters or carbohydrate supplements for compounded results.

Who this is for
- Growers running hydroponic or soilless systems where silica uptake from media is limited
- Anyone dealing with weak stems, pest pressure, or mildew issues and looking for structural immunity
- Serious amateur and commercial growers who understand that silica is a non-negotiable part of any nutrient schedule
- Growers who want proven results from a Buddhas Tree formulation without the guesswork
- Setups where plant health and stress resistance directly impact yield or quality
Particularly suited to growers who've done the research and know the difference between potassium silicate and true silicic acid — and want the one that actually works.
Our take
This is proper silica supplementation for growers who care about plant structure, immunity, and real results. The nano-particle colloidal technology isn't gimmick — it's why your plants actually absorb it efficiently. Add it to your nutrient schedule, leave it in throughout the cycle, and you'll notice thicker stems, tighter node spacing, and frankly better-looking, healthier plants.
Worth picking up while stock is available. One of those additives that pays for itself through better plant health and stress resistance.
