Foliar Feed Q

What's up all? This time around I decided to start foliar feeding. Using dutch master penetrator, max-fx, and folitech twice a week, spraying upwards under neath the leaves. I have heard this is supposed to make a big difference in the light uptake etc of the plants. Anyways, do I need to PH the liquid before spraying? I feel like a newb asking this question, but it seems logical to me that while the roots may require a certain acidity level to intake nutrients, the leaves may not? I'm growing in ocean forest/light warrior btw.

Thanks. Oh, and if you have ever foliar feeded with these products and have any advice or tips or anything, let me know:)

qood question, so whats the right ph for leaves now? same as soil?

and i foliar feed every water, but only to the point that i see buds develoment, My question is, how safe is it to foliar feed once bud development occurs. I read that mold and rot are too much of a risk to feed once bud develops, how true is this. Is this only once buds are a certain thickness, or are you guys spraying your buds directly. And I use a sprayer with a nice misty spray. could i spray even after heavy budding or not worth risk.

From what I've heard on your Q you're supposed to stop at 4 weeks into flower. But, I'd imagine that's just an unobvious way of saying, "Stop when buds start forming"

It definitely seems like a bad idea overall to feed after buds form. Seeing as how underneath the leaves is where it's supposed to be uptaking all the foliar feed, the buds being exposed would only create problems.

so basically not worth risk the risk to bud even if targeting leaves and even undersides. note taken.

Foliar feeding is ok and will help but dont expect super results.

Also dont do it under your lights without adequate air flow, the evaporating liquid can burn the plants badly.
