Product Overview
Armadillo Armour delivers monosilicic acid—the most bioavailable form of silicon—to strengthen plant structures, enhance pest and disease resistance, and improve stress tolerance. At only 0.5-1 mL per gallon, this highly concentrated formula provides efficient, cost-effective plant strengthening that other silica sources cannot match.
Silicon builds physical barriers within cell walls that resist pest penetration and pathogen infection. Unlike potassium silicate products that require pH-dependent conversion before plants can absorb them, Armadillo Armour provides silicon already in monosilicic acid form—immediately available regardless of pH, temperature, or other growing conditions.
Key Benefits
- Monosilicic acid delivers maximum silicon bioavailability without pH conversion
- Strengthens cell walls for improved pest and disease resistance
- Enhances drought, heat, and environmental stress tolerance
- Supports stronger stems capable of holding heavy flower loads
Ideal For
All growers wanting stronger, more resilient plants. Particularly valuable for those experiencing pest pressure, environmental stress, or growing heavy-yielding varieties that need structural support.

How To Use
Armadillo Armour 0-0-1
Delivers highly bioavailable monosilicic acid (silicon) to strengthen cell walls, improve heat and drought resistance, and enhance overall plant structure. Frequency: Use once per week.
- Mix in room temperature water (65-72°F / 18-22°C)
- CRITICAL: ALWAYS add Armadillo Armour FIRST before ALL other nutrients
- Frequency: Use once per week only (not every feeding)
- Use from early veg through late flowering
- Increase dosage during flowering for maximum plant strength
- Stop using during ripen and flush weeks
- Highly concentrated - small amounts provide significant benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Armadillo Armour and what does it do?
A concentrated monosilicic acid supplement that strengthens stems, hardens leaves, and improves stress tolerance so plants handle heat, wind, and pressure better.
When should I use it?
Run it all cycle—especially at transplant and through veg to build structure; continue in bloom at a steady, low rate for ongoing resilience.
What’s the correct mixing order?
Always add Armadillo Armour first to plain water, then your bases and additives; adjust pH at the end.
How much should I use?
0.5–1 mL per gallon of water. Stir well and scale to plant size and stage.
Can I use Armadillo Armour with PuurOrganics and the Classic/Autoflower lines?
Yes—compatible across all Cronk programs; just keep it first in the order when mixing.
Is it safe for coco, hydro/DWC, and drip systems?
Yes—silica is system-safe when mixed properly and added before other nutrients; follow standard pH targets after mixing.
Can I foliar spray it?
You can use a very dilute foliar in veg on a small test area first; avoid spraying open flowers. (Mixing precaution: never combine concentrates before diluting.)
