Atami B'cuzz Silic Boost 500ml is a highly concentrated silicon additive formulated with plant-available silicon to support stronger stems, resilient plant structure, nutrient uptake and tolerance to environmental stress throughout active growth and early flowering.
Silicon is naturally present in soils, but the amount available to plants can vary considerably between substrates and growing systems. Silic Boost provides silicon in a stable and readily available form, allowing it to be incorporated into a controlled plant nutrition programme.
Once absorbed, silicon can accumulate within plant tissues and contribute to a stronger outer layer in leaves and stems. Atami highlights this effect as helping plants develop thicker stems and stronger structural growth.
Silic Boost also supports nutrient absorption and helps plants cope with abiotic stress, meaning non-living environmental stresses such as challenging growing conditions.
The formula is exceptionally concentrated at just 0.1ml/L. A 500ml bottle can therefore prepare approximately 5,000 litres of nutrient solution. This listing is supplied individually, with 12 x 500ml bottles per full outer case.

What is Atami Silic Boost suitable for?
Silic Boost is suitable for growers looking to add a controlled source of plant-available silicon to an existing feeding programme.
It can be particularly useful during periods of rapid vegetative development, when plants are producing stems, branches and leaves, and as the crop progresses into flowering where stronger structural growth can help support the developing canopy.
Atami recommends using Silic Boost during the growth and flowering stages until the beginning of ripening.
Because Silic Boost is an additive rather than a complete fertiliser, plants should continue receiving the appropriate base nutrition for the chosen substrate and crop stage.
Why is silicon useful for plants?
Silicon is often described as a beneficial element in plant nutrition. Although plants can complete their life cycle without supplemental silicon, many species can absorb and accumulate significant quantities of it.
Once absorbed, silicon can become deposited within plant tissues. Atami highlights its contribution to a stronger outer layer of leaves and stems, supporting thicker stems and more robust plant structure.
This structural role becomes particularly useful as plants increase in size and weight. Strong stems and branches provide the physical framework required to support developing foliage, flowers and fruits.
Silicon is also associated with plant responses to environmental stress, which is why Atami positions Silic Boost as a product for supporting plants against abiotic stress.
Supporting plants through abiotic stress
Abiotic stress describes environmental pressure caused by non-living factors rather than pests or disease. Examples can include temperature fluctuations, water stress, salinity and other challenging growing conditions.
Atami highlights silicon's role in helping plants tolerate these environmental stresses. Silic Boost is therefore useful not only as a structural additive but also as part of a broader strategy for maintaining vigorous plants in controlled or variable growing environments.
Good environmental management remains essential. Silicon supplementation should complement correct irrigation, nutrition, temperature, humidity and root-zone management rather than being used as a substitute for them.
How to use Atami B'cuzz Silic Boost
Use Silic Boost at 0.1ml per litre of water during the growth and flowering stages until the beginning of ripening.
At this concentration, use 1ml for 10L, 5ml for 50L, 10ml for 100L, 50ml for 500L and 100ml for a 1,000L nutrient reservoir.
A 500ml bottle prepares approximately 5,000 litres of nutrient solution at 0.1ml/L.
Silic Boost can be applied through the root zone or as a foliar spray. Atami specifies the same 0.1ml/L concentration for foliar application.
Because the product is extremely concentrated, accurate measurement is important. For smaller nutrient volumes, use a suitable precision syringe or measuring device rather than estimating the dose.
Using Silic Boost with your nutrient programme
Silic Boost is designed to complement a normal feeding programme. Continue using the appropriate base nutrient for the growing medium while adding Silic Boost as the specialist silicon component.
It can be incorporated into soil, coco and hydroponic programmes and used alongside appropriate Atami base nutrients, stimulators and additives.
Silicon performs a different role from conventional NPK fertilisers. Rather than replacing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or other essential nutrients, Silic Boost provides additional silicon to support plant structure, nutrient absorption and environmental resilience.
As with any multi-product feeding programme, monitor the crop and adjust the complete nutrient solution according to plant condition, water quality and growing environment.
Root feeding or foliar application
Silic Boost offers growers flexibility because Atami allows it to be applied either through the root zone or directly to foliage.
For root application, dilute Silic Boost into the irrigation or nutrient solution at 0.1ml/L before applying to the growing medium.
For foliar application, prepare a fresh solution at 0.1ml/L and apply evenly to suitable plant foliage. Good foliar spraying practice should always be followed, including avoiding excessive application under intense light or unsuitable environmental conditions.
The ability to use either application method makes Silic Boost adaptable to a wide range of cultivation systems and feeding strategies.

Atami B'cuzz Silic Boost 500ml FAQs
What is Atami B'cuzz Silic Boost?
Silic Boost is a highly concentrated silicon additive containing silicon in a stable, plant-available form. It is designed to support stronger plant structure, nutrient absorption and resilience to environmental stress.
When should I use Atami Silic Boost?
Atami recommends using Silic Boost throughout the growth and flowering stages until the beginning of ripening.
How much Atami Silic Boost should I use?
Use 0.1ml/L. Because Silic Boost is highly concentrated, accurate measurement is recommended, particularly when preparing small quantities of nutrient solution.
How long will a 500ml bottle of Silic Boost last?
At the recommended 0.1ml/L concentration, a 500ml bottle can prepare approximately 5,000 litres of nutrient solution.
Does Silic Boost make plant stems stronger?
Atami states that silicon contributes to a stronger outer layer of leaves and stems and supports the development of thicker stems, helping plants develop a more robust structure.
Does Silic Boost help plants cope with stress?
Yes. Atami specifically highlights silicon's role in helping plants cope with abiotic stress, meaning environmental stresses caused by non-living growing conditions.
Can Atami Silic Boost improve nutrient uptake?
Atami identifies support for nutrient absorption as one of the benefits of Silic Boost. It should still be used alongside a correctly balanced base nutrient programme.
Can I use Silic Boost in soil?
Yes. Silic Boost can be incorporated into soil-based feeding programmes alongside an appropriate soil nutrient.
Can I use Silic Boost with coco?
Yes. Silic Boost can be used with coco-grown plants alongside an appropriate coco base nutrient and feeding programme.
Can I use Silic Boost hydroponically?
Yes. Silic Boost can be incorporated into hydroponic nutrient programmes at the manufacturer's recommended concentration.
Can Atami Silic Boost be used as a foliar spray?
Yes. Atami specifies that Silic Boost can be applied as a foliar treatment at 0.1ml/L as well as through the root zone.
Does Silic Boost replace my normal nutrients?
No. Silic Boost is a specialist silicon additive. It does not replace a complete base nutrient supplying essential elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Should I use Silic Boost during ripening?
Atami recommends using Silic Boost until the beginning of the ripening stage. Follow crop development rather than applying it automatically throughout the entire final ripening period.
Why is accurate dosing important with Silic Boost?
The application rate is only 0.1ml/L, so small measurement errors can represent a significant change in concentration. A precision syringe or suitable measuring device is useful when preparing smaller nutrient volumes.
How many 500ml bottles are in a full case?
A full outer case contains 12 x 500ml bottles of Atami B'cuzz Silic Boost.
