I use silica and cal mag in my watering too but I’ve been told and I’ve read that you should put silica in first, wait 15-20 minutes then add your other nutrients to avoid nutrient lockout. My nutrient solution consists of: 1. Silica (wait at least 15 minutes) 2. Fertilizer (Foliage Pro) 3. Cal-Mag (TPS) 4. Microbe Life Photosynthesis Plus
@DalizaNicole yeah you should put your silica in first and wait 20 minutes. It avoids the molecules binding incorrectly. I am lazy. I am making a video on all this soon. The actual science behind it. I use such a small amount that it won't nutrient lock my plants. But you are absolutely correct.

@DalizaNicole I've actually started filling up my large buckets then adding my silica. Waiting. I add in cal mag before my foilage focus, though.
