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.

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

Apparently soap and detergent are 2 different things. Do not use detergent. There are specialty products like SM-90 and Coco Wet that do nicely.

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.
