Foiler Feeding?

There is a lot of misinformation spread about foliar feeding, but I recommend it as a cost effective and direct method for providing nutrients to the crop and it also works as a minor preventative measure against spider mites which are sensitive to nutrient sprays.

want any more??

I spray straight outta the res, then I give them a nice fresh water soak. Great way to top up the res

I am of opinion that those who are against foliar feeding for whatever reason have never attempted it.
If... your grow area's ambient humidity is high, then I would not advise foliar feeding. However, if humidity is not an issue, feed away!!!
I use it primarily to correct any deficiencies that I think need to be addressed and fixed.
This feeding technique greens up the plants the fastest way possible. You will see the results in 24 to 48 hours.
Works great.

Just an update! I have stopped foiler feeding now and at 35 days of 12/12. The hairs on some of the plants are, IMO, turning red early. Not sure why but decided to stop all additives and just finish with the nutes. The girls are still doing well though, just the hair thing. This is typically the time where I stress and think things are going wrong lol

Agree 100%. I was doing a bunch of work around my veg cycle to increase the rate and quality of growth after struggling with some wimpy plants. One of the things I have since employed is foliar feeding. I currently use H&G Magic Green. I will probably also give Heavy16 Foliar and possibly Dutch Master Liquid Light a try. The Heavy16 is interesting to me because apparently this is where their calmag supplementation is. So far, the Magic Green is just that...magic. If you have a plant that looks a little stressed or deficient - you can practically watch it green up in a matter of 30min to an hour. I veg under T5s and spray with the lights on with no adverse effects, but I understand that under HIDs this is probably not a good idea. If you want to spray with lights on however, you can if you use a transport product like Dutch Master Saturator. You mix that with your foliar food and it helps transport the food into the stomata and the directions say to just raise your light a little for 30 min before lowering back down. I still pull mine out from under the T5, spray them and let them sit for 20 min or so before sliding them back under the light. I have experienced zero burning or any other issues - even with large droplets on leaves directly under the T5.

I did read that you should avoid spraying clones and seedlings - however H&G mentions them as candidates for foliar feeding. The theory I heard is that if you feed them through the leaves you might distract them from forming a good root system. Now, that could be totally wrong, but I have avoided spraying them just in case.

I highly recommend adding this simple (a few drops and no ph adjustment) addition to your feeding schedule. I have had very positive results.

Here is what I am using to veg: H&G Aqua Flakes A+B, Orca, Growtastic EPG, H&G Roots Excelurator, H&G Drip Clean, H&G Multi Zen, Flying Skull Z7 water conditioner - Magic Green 2x per week. Never had better looking plants in veg. I have changed a lot of things that played into it, but the foliar spraying above everything else yielded virtually immediate results that have continued.

Peace.
