Foliar feeding while budding

**weedychris** · 03-04-2007, 11:23 PM

YOOOO, im pretty sure ive got 4 females on the grow and they have been budding for 10 days so far. i was just wondering if i should foliar feed (spray the plants leaves) during the budding period, because i did this often during the veg stage, and if so, how often should i spray them during blooming and with what.

From my experience i have found it ok to feed foliage upto around 2 weeks into the flowering stage. But after that i would advise otherwise because you can get bud rot. Peace man

as he said, it's a worry about foliar feeding when your buds have formed, personally outdoor plants do ok, and they are rained on throughout the whole cycle... i foliar fed my first crop when they were first budding, up until about 4 weeks. but i did this out of boredum...

if you do.. just don't over do it, and do it in the morning, when the lights have just come on or right before, dont get any on the lights

I will keep a record of this for you guys. I was wondering about foliar feeding myself. I'm on day 30 and I started foilar feeding in the morning with foxfarm tiger bloom and big bloom. Havent seen any negative signs and cant say I've seen improvement yet, but scent has become stronger. Like I said only in the morning and it seems to become dry after about 45 minutes. I am using foxfarms suggested foliar feeding mixture. I am also using a pump sprayer with a very fine mist. ph 6.4-6.6. When I water I get both sides of the leaves and try not to get it in big beads on the leafs. Like I said it has been getting more scent, but cant tell about bud growth.
