I agree...to an point, i grow under LED and live in a VERY soft water area, 15-20ppm. So as you can imagine calcium is a major problem even at recommended doses so sometimes a calcium folair is in order.

I must be extremely obtuse then. Because I foliar feed everything in my garden and my foliar fed plants almost always out produce my non-sprayed plants. Plants collect nutrients via wind blown detritus, animal/bug droppings, leached compounds brought down out of the canopy via rain... many ways. It is a proven fact that plants can absorb nutrients via their epidermis and stoma. Foliar feeding is a especially effective to provide your plants with trace nutes that are hard to balance in soil/hydro. Hormones in kelp extracts, a popular foliar feed, have been shown to promote cellular development, helps prevent pests and helps prevent fungus and molds.

Can you do a side by side and post your results with pics?
I admit that such a test has never been conducted by me.I come to my conclusion thru reading non cannabis horticulture websites that was not saved for reference but was most impressed by a female botonists research.
I say at least 2 clones each of same donor.One set will get no foliar.One set will get top leaf foliar.One set will get underside foliar.One set will get both top and underside foliar.
I will not waste my time personaly.Such practice is for rare,exotic or weak genetics that need this due to week root structure that will not take a superior root graft.
New growers reading this please focus on enviroment and proper nutrition for freedom gets muddy enough as it is.

Put 8ml to a gal then ph it to 6 and spray top and underside of leaf in veg.
Droplets of water on leaf under intense hids will burn leaf.do not spray on buds
On a flowering plant for chance of mold.Foliar spraying may
require extra ventilation due to powdery mildew will have a better foothold
in a stale moist enviroment.
If using boost with other nutes for your normal feed start with 8ml.Work
up from there and read what the plant tells you.
