Since most spray bottles are small, use 1 drop and go from there. What it does is it causes the the water/nutes to not roll off the leaves. It's also good as a bug preventative.
Ive heard of using soap as a wetting agent does this mean it doesn't bead up on the leaves during foliar feeding im confused can somebody clear this up for me please

yhea its ok. liquid dish detergent of any kind without bleach is good. it acts as an immuclifier to break down the nutrients and help it hold on to foliar. i only used the dish soap when i neem oil for insects every sunday during the veg. process. i use 1 1/2 teaspoon per quart of water. 1 quart should be plenty. if u wanna foliar feed, try folic acid, it works pretty good and if done correctly throughout growth, you will see an increase in yield of about 10%. thats an extra 8th. an oz. its worth it to me. try iggy's
YUM YUM I CANNOT GROW OR SMOKE MARIJUANA IN REAL LIFE SO I HAVE TO LIVE IT OUT ONLINE FANTASY MODE. JUST WISHING
I use palmolive dish soap from my kitchen, I also put a drop in my feeding water. It helps the water flow through the soil.
when you add the soap to your water do you shake your water to mix the soap in or just add the drop of soap and then water?
I like SM-90 because you can also use it when watering/feeding as it works on roots equaly as well + it smells good!
There is a great product that works like a barrier penetrator when Foliar feeding. Its called Dutch Masters Penetrator. Google it. I started using it this season and I love it
If using dishsoap as a surfactant it should be a biodegradable form, such as Ivory. Or just pink bar soap, either way...
Edit: to be clear, the pink soap comment was a joke.
