If your plants are doing great then why do you want to foliar feed and potentially screw things up? Ask yourself why you need to foliar feed if your plants are already doing great.

I dont think that if you ph your water it will hurt it so why not?? But you dont need to pH it. Just foliar feed how it says just pH your water next time or before you do it. Idk tho I never done it just a guess.

The PH is an important aspect to foliage feeding. As is the way, time, and amount that's sprayed.

pH of the foliar spray solution – Nutrients must be in their soluble form in order for the plant to absorb them. pH affects the solubility of nutrients and their interaction with other components in the water. Generally, acidic pH improves the penetration of nutrients through leaf surfaces.
