Wondering, if I put 2 cups Alfalfa Meal, 1 cup Kelp meal in 5 gallons of pure water and aerate for 24 hours, should I dilute it with water before spraying my plants that are starting week 4 flower, or do you think I could spray it without diluting it and not harm the plants? Also if I should dilute it with water, what would be a good ratio?

I would not spray anything on plants that have been flowering for 4 weeks unless i absolutely had to.

In my opinion, you could get by with only 1 cup of alfalfa.

I would dilute it with 2 parts water to 1 part "mix" and pour it on the dirt. Like the above poster, I don't spray flowering plants either.
But I would totally use the alfalfa/kelp mix diluted like 10 to 1 as a foliar for vegging plants. This mixture is great in veg, and I usually continue to use it 4-6 weeks into flower on the soil as well.

I also use diluted alfalfa/kelp to spray on clones if they are looking a little dry. Like after 7 days I'll spray the cuts and they'll root shortly after.

Yes I agree I always use kelp and alfalfa in teas usually with other things but you could justmix them together and pour on top for ggreat results.

just wondering why you want to foliar feed in the first place?
what kind of teas do you normal use? Why not just stick with them?
