Anyone use silican stone

[IB_Funky]

From what Ive read, silican stone that over time will deliver trace amounts of silicon to plants which has been proven to strenghten them on a cellular level and contributes to faster growth and stronger roots?

Anyone have any experience?

I asked Dr. Wormy @wormsway if they were the same and he said that they were essentially the same.

Now I'm hearing about grow stones that are recycled glass that is treated similar to the clay balls during manufacturing only is glass based. Does anyone know if the glass stones will release silica or are they inert like glass is?

Thnak you all for your input.
