Your not going to get the plant a lot of Nitrogen by foliar feeding and if you make a strong mix you run the risk of burning the leaves.

Just wait till watering and then add it, they will take in a lot more through the roots.

cud i use half strength nutes in the guano brew? or even full strength? npk 3.5/1/5.5

i wanted to swich to 12/12 upon the next watering/feeding would the guano effect flowering?

if it is ph, and causing a lock ,cud that be why my plants are showing signs of deffs
