Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin® is a potassium silicate biostimulant and plant strengthener made to increase stalk rigidity and improve resilience to challenging environmental conditions.
Rhino Skin® is built around a next-generation silicate approach that focuses on strengthening plants so they can better support the weight of heavy flowers. By reinforcing structural strength through silica support, it helps create a sturdier foundation in both the vegetative stage and the blooming stage. The result is a clean, purpose-built plant strengthener for growers who want a stronger framework before flowers become heavy and demanding.
A key differentiator is the product’s stated focus on the most soluble, bioavailable forms of this naturally thick element, paired with an optimal ratio of potassium to silica that helps decrease risk of contamination. For shoppers who want a compact facts layer, it has a stated NPK of 0-0-0.4. The primary input is potassium silicate, supplying silica alongside potassium to support stronger plant structure and steadier performance under challenging conditions.
Rhino Skin® is suited to diverse hydroponic growing media and is designed for continuous liquid-feed growing systems such as aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nft, flood and drain, and deep water culture. It’s also positioned for indoor / outdoor gardens, regular watering, and watering systems, and it is described as coco coir safe, making it easy to keep the same plant strengthener across different setups without changing your overall approach.
This is a good fit for growers who want a potassium silicate biostimulant that supports stalk rigidity, boosts resilience to challenging environmental conditions, and helps plants carry heavy flowers through the bloom phase.
Step-by-step mixing and feeding instructions for Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin - 250 ML.
Fill your reservoir or watering container with clean, room-temperature water first. Shake the bottle of Advanced Nutrients Rhino Skin - 250 ML well before every use. Using the feeding schedule below, measure the recommended dose and add it directly to the water while stirring. Allow the solution to mix fully before adding any other fertilizers, additives, or supplements.
Always add nutrients to water — not the other way around. Mix thoroughly between products to ensure an even, stable nutrient solution.
Vegetative stage — Rhino Skin
Flowering stage — Rhino Skin

| Soluble Potash (K2O) | 0.4% |
|---|---|
| Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) | 0.15% |
Silicon dioxide supports plant resilience by helping plants build tougher stems and leaves and handle stress better, making it unique because it acts more like structural reinforcement than a direct growth “fuel” like major nutrients.
Soluble potash (K2O) is important because it helps plants control water use, move sugars to new growth and fruit, and build stronger, higher-quality structure under stress. It’s unique from many other nutrients because it acts more like a regulator and transport helper than a direct “building material,” so the biggest benefits show up as steadier growth, stronger stems, and better finishing instead of just bigger leaves.
Potassium silicate is mainly used for silicon, because the silicate portion helps plants build tougher tissues and handle stress better, while the potassium is usually a secondary contribution. It’s unique because it can improve plant structure while also strongly raising root-zone pH, so it needs more care than most similar inputs.

A solid silica supplement, you can definitely notice stronger stems and better overall structure as the plants get bigger.
