Any tips/suggestions for MG 10-10-10?

I just gave my girls their first feeding of Miracle gro all purpose 10-10-10 plant food powder. I mixed 1 tbsp per gallon H20, then put it in a spray bottle. I sprayed my girls' foliage lightly. I have a few questions pertaining to this:
1)If I consistantly continue to mist the foliage after the leaves absorb the mix, will this harm the plant?
2)Is this method alright to use in combination of root feeding my plants with Fox Farm's "Grow Big?"
3)Heavy downpours have caused what look like tears in the new growth...is this harmful?

Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome. I'm always sure to add +rep to positive tips and advice.

Thanks!
Good luck to everyone

My bet is you will see tip burn soon. Why do you find the need to foiler feed your plants? mg ferts are kinda hot. I don't know what the mix is for the stuff your using. I'm guessing 1 tbsp is half or full mix. that would be to hot to spray. I would try to put a roof over them during heavy rain fall.

With MG nutes I use to do 1/2 strength, thats before I even started coming to these forums. I didnt need anyone to tell me what to do when it came to these nutes lol I was like this shit doesn't look right for MJ. They turned out great though or maybe it was cause the strain was very resistant to shit.

Hey there INAL.. lol man I like your dog. Is that 1/4 mix for foiler feeding? I thought it even less. I don't do it myself. just a little water on the clones and sprouts.
 
no miricle grow get some worm castings mix them with water put it in a spray bottle and spray your leaves with it much better then miricle grow that shit = burns

I ask again why do you think you need to foilear feed??
These companies have it drilled into my head that foliar feeding with enhance the surface area of the plant, thus, creating more energy to grow quicker and bigger. Basically its a steroid for plants.

ok fair enough. imo It causes more problems then it helps for most. I.m not saying it's bad to do if done correctley. Dive deep into why's and how's before you start. stay away from the chem nutes. you might try a drop of superthrive to a gal of water or there are lots of formulas for makeing tea's for foilar feeding. good luck.

I am root feeding my girls with 4 drops of superthrive per gallon, 1 capfull of Fox Farm's "Grow Big" and the soil mixture is MG organic.
These are my girls from about an hour ago.
And the bud is from my bro. Maple Leaf Indica...couch lock for hours...and I keep on smokin'!
