    Hello mukka yeah it’s normal nothing to worry about
    When you drop some ph down in it should go
    I know there’s another way where you put the silicon in first then base nutrients and that stops cloudiness.... could be the other way around tho
    Either way nothing to worry about

    It does go cloudy yeah...You should always add it to the water first and allow it to completely dissolved before adding the other nutes otherwise they will bind...A couple of drops of pH down after adding the silicone will help it dissolve faster...

    Aha I’ve used three different silcone products during this grow all have different traits
    Shogun silicon makes water cloudy raises ec and ph a little
    Vital ink max silicon raises ph very high but doesn’t make water cloudy and doesn’t raise my ec
    GrowthT silicon downs pretty much the same as shogun silicon just doesn’t raise ec and not so cloudy
    Before or after base Nutrients hasn’t made a difference
