foliar feeding seedlings

Is it a bad idea to foliage feed seedlings, as long as I used some sort of soap in there so not to create hot spots?

What are you feeding them, a b vitamin is mostly benificial

Whether you can or can't there should be absolutely no need.

This Also be very careful; even a slight sheen of water on such a young plant under lights could toast it >_<

wait til theyre older

Right or wrong, i was told I should never spray until the roots have been established.

only reason .. is if you have low humidity (less then 30%)

then mist them in the morning/fist light .. underneed the leaves .. useing a water agent is a good idea .. wet betty is nice .. I use Yucca ..

nutriens schoulndt be nesseary for a small seedling .. soil schould keep enough .. also .. I believe foilie feeding is when you spot a deficiency .. nutriens is surpose to go in to the soil .. or be in ther allready ..

if your concern about hot spots ? (only if you useing a MH) then let the plants dry off a bit before placeing them under the light agin .. and/or keep the light father away for fist 30 minuts or so ..

My Bad, you are right according to Ed.
Apolgies to auldy.
I was quoting my hydro salesmen.
Next time I'll open the book before my mouth.

i just generously spray around the inside of the humidity dome. that should eliminate worries of spraying the plant cause it should join the air and get to the leaves eventually.

hey)

thanx for all your help and info. Grandpapy , I know you meant well, no need to apologise to me :0)
