One of the key benefits of GEN200 Control lies in its ability to influence the structural development of plants through the uptake of silicon. When silicon is absorbed by the plant, it becomes integrated into the cell walls, resulting in stronger, more rigid tissue, especially in the outer layers of the plant (the epidermis). This added stiffness plays a direct role in controlling vertical growth.
Why Control Vertical Stretch?
For growers seeking compact, bushier plants with more lateral branching and reduced internodal spacing, controlling stretch is essential. GEN200 Control offers a natural and effective way to do this—without relying on harsh plant growth regulators.
By gradually increasing the dosage of GEN200 Control, plants absorb more silicon, which physically limits their ability to elongate. This translates to shorter, sturdier plants, with more side branches and tighter node spacing—an ideal structure for many high-yield crop systems.
Dosage Recommendations
- For most mature vascular plants, a dilution ratio of 1:4000 is typically sufficient to reduce vertical growth.
- For younger plants, a milder solution—around 1:5000—may be more appropriate.
Always adjust based on plant response and monitor growth behavior closely.
Watch for Signs of Overdose
While silicon offers significant structural benefits, too much can lead to brittleness. A key indicator of excess is reduced leaf flexibility—if leaves snap or break easily, silicon levels are likely too high. Reduce the dosage accordingly to maintain healthy, balanced growth.
GEN200 Control provides growers with a powerful tool to naturally sculpt plant architecture—improving both structure and yield potential.
