I've done a lot of research about this product. I read that the armor si won't work unless the water is 7.0? And another thing is that I seen that the armor si has to be added first before the 3 part gh??
Google is your friend. Says on the label it is a powerful base and will raise pH, and further states for you to not let pH rise above 6.5

To my understanding that put the armor si in then test ph then drop it to 5.8 then add micro, grow, bloom, and the addys
Incorrect. The Armor Si instructions say to add the Armor while stirring. Then add the nutrients. Then adjust the pH.
Just about all Silica products are highly alkaline. I pretty much use mine as an UP instead of my pH up anymore. kinda spendy way to UP but I never need to UP much. Only if I over Down as my water is about 8.0 so I typically am just going down with it.
In hydro it will absorb just fine at normal pH levels. In soil it is best to add it early as it needs to be broken down to really get absorbed.
Rifelman is correct. If the product label does not clearly explain how to use it then buy something else. The only difference in these products is the marketing.

The label is very clear.
