I usually foliar feed my ass off but I have only done it once this year...I have heard ppl saying they made foliars out of guanos and other dry nutes like kelp and alfalfa...if so how much do you use per gal and do you make it like a tea?...I'm just transitioning into flower outdoors so that would be said when making a recipe I suppose but I still would like to know about the guano and other nutes...I use to use thrive alive green and some other shit but the others were synthetic bur it seemed to work well...I have a bunch of synthetic foliar feed ..humboldt snowstorm ...bembe...flower kiss...and a few others ...so my next question is foliar feeding with them shouldn't affect my micro heRd or soil at all correct?...I can deal with some synthetic foliar feeding early on...I'm not going around telling ppl I give weed to its organic anyways...ppl around here would give two shit's anyhow...but I would rather make a 100% organic ff that works just as well or better than those fakes...any and all comments on the subject would be greatly appreciated ...ty
For foliar feeding you want a much lower strength than you would a soil application...say guano...you might use 1 tbsp per gallon when you water your rootzone... You'd want to do maybe 1/4-1/2 tbsp per gallon for a foliar feed. Basically quarter to half strength whatever you would feed your rootzone is a good rule of thumb.
I'm a big fan of mixing fulvic acid into whatever I'm doing when it comes to foliar feeding. And then I use disposable paint strainers to filter out the sediment from whatever meals I use. They're about the size of coffee filters, i bought em in packs of hundreds when I ran a paint crew. No more paint jobs for me but the filters come in handy.
For freshly transplanted plants or clones:
Alfalfa Meal, Indonesian guano (Jamaican works too but indo seems more water soluble), kelp meal, fulvic acid
Veg-last week before switching to flower/first week of flower before buds form:
indo guano, epsom salts, kelp, fulvic acid
The foliar feed that's always a good idea and the one you should do if you do any, and the one most bottle foliar feeds are trying to mimic:
Kelp Meal, fulvic acid...
Those are the foliar feeds I use...as well as just plain old fish hydrolysate but that's not really a recipe lol.
