Power Si Granular
Power Si Granular is suitable for perennial crops and container gardening. The product includes OSA along with other proprietary ingredients that work to release nutrients that were once inaccessible within the soil to help promote stronger, healthier crops.
Power Si Granular is a highly concentrated silicic acid product that encourages accelerated seedling and root growth. Unlike naturally-generated silicic acid that polymerizes readily in soil and is only available to plants for a short period of time, Power Si Granular provides a stable matrix to keep silicic acid in its most active state and remains available to plants for up to 30 days after application.

The Umami Store sells only salt based nutrients (salts). Umami has switched between organic nutrients and salts for years. As of today, Umami grows all his personal gear using salts. Don't worry if you're committed to growing organically, there are plenty of organic growers who get fantastic results with Umami's seeds and with equipment from the Umami Store. Here is a list of the benefits of salt based nutrients:
- Clean, simple, and stable
Our salt nutrients are insanely simple and come in easy-to-use formulations. Organic fertilizers are difficult to mix, less stable, and their potency degrades over time.
- Affordable
Salts are cheaper than organic nutrients. Salts also pack significantly more nutrients per pound of weight over organic nutrients.
- Mathematic and measurable
With organic nutrients you are guessing what the plant wants. With salts you can measure the exact amount of nutrients that your plants receive.
- Bioavailable
Salt based nutrients can be absorbed by your plants immediately . Organic nutrients need to be broken down by microorganisms that live in your soil before they can be used by the plants.
- Nutrients are nutrients
People seem to think that plants perfer organic nutrients to salts. This is simply not true. Plants do not have a preference and they can not tell the difference. Plants are not able to detect if the nutrients they are given are organic or salts - nutrients are nutrients.
- Ability to fine tune
With salts you can precisely adjust your nutrients to exactly what the plant wants. They give you exact control over the nutrient concentrations in your grow media. Every batch you mix up you will get a little closer to finding the perfect blend for that strain.
- Quickly address deficiencies
The bioavailability of salts allows the fast delivery of essential elements and minerals when you detect deficiencies in your garden
- Ideal for hydroponic growing
Organic fertalizers clog irrigation lines with biofilm and make drip feeding difficult. Salts are microscopic and can even be administered via misters and sprayers. Salts are ideal for hydroponics grows but they are still very effective in all grow mediums.
