Foliar feed the under sides of the leaves, this is where the "mouth" of the leaves is, the droplets will also be out of the direct light so burning wont be an issue.

Very, Very interesting! never thought of that. Sounds like a good idea.

Thanks for posting, anyone else agree with this?

I think foliar feeding is o.k. in order to correct a nutrient deficiency quickly or if you suspect lockup. Foliar feeding bypasses problems with an extreme pH or salt buildup (that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to correct the problem with your soil). If you are using HID's or any light for that matter, raise it when foliar feeding or move your plants out of the direct path of the most intense light. Wetting agents are good to use for foliar feeding because they help the solution stick to the leaves and you don't get droplets (which can act like a magnifying glass). I don't think you should use it as a regimen though. If the plant has all the nutes it needs from your soil or nute solutions, then what's the point?

Hmmm, what is the point? With no nute lock-up from over-watering, bad PH levels etc....

Any thoughts on that?

I have never tried foliar feeding as I'm a bit put off by the thought of mold, etc, but I don't think it should be completely discounted.

Are we really that dependent on someone else to tell us what to do that we can't solve a simple problem ourselves? Okay, so a drop of water under a light acts like a magnifying glass and can burn your plants. If you foliar feed while the lights are out, this becomes a non-issue. Mold and mildew are completely preventable as well. Good air flow, proper humidity levels and temperatures are all things that have a direct influence on mold and mildew growth. Obviously you don't want to spray the flowers (buds) with water or fertilizer, especially close to harvest time, so BE CAREFUL! Don't go in there with a fire hose and soak the whole room.

I think the "pros" outweigh the "cons", as long as you use common sense. Unfortunately, there seems to be a shortage of that and NO you can't borrow mine...
