Ive been asking around about switching to chem flower boosters during the middle of the flowering phase, in an organic soil grow. I know that it is said to be bad because chem nutes are made of chelated salt which kills the microbes, which breakdown organic matter to provide plants with nutes. But Ive been thinking...what If I were to use a foliage feed type flower booster(chemical) and misted the plants instead of introducing it to the soil and the microbeasties. Any one think Im on to somthing or just smoking too much wacky tabbacky? Any experience?

i wouldn't suggest any type of habitual foliar feeding.
when my buds were just forming, i used a bud spray called Growth Max. it left a dark residue so a week later i sprayed each bud again but with fresh water, shook each shoot and then let an oscillating fan take care of the rest. i would try to stay organic, they say you don't have to flush when you use organics, mother nature doesn't flush our buds.

no foliar feeding during flower............ if you wanna grow organic that means no chemical....... if you use chemical its not organic anymore........the plant still absorbs the chemical wether its in the soil or foliar.... why ruin all your work
