Ok kinda a newbie question thats why I came here to post this but does the ph of the water matter when foliar feeding your plants if so whats the best ph range for it also was wondering what the best ph range for growing in soil is
 
I like to spray my plants once a day with straight water and was just wondering if ph mattered. But besides that when I feed my plants I do mix the nutes in a bucket then adjust ph

There isn't a need to foilar feed if your soil is wet... And if it isn't wet it's time to water..
 
It seems the answer you question,depends on who you ask
so i will tell you what i do i Ph everything that comes into contact with my plant . easy !!!

And yes ph after the mixings done, as some nutes will swing it eit i feed my veg plants daily and also foilar daily as well.
I DO NOT SPAY MY FLOWERS THOUGH lol

Foliar feeding is the fastest way to correct a deficiency or lockout.. I foliar feed most of the plants calmag requirements anyway.. ph is still important
 
Thank you wizo and hobby for the helpful advice rather than telling me foliar spray is pointless as dragon has tried doing I will continue measuring my ph for my foliar application and don't worry hobby dont plan on spraying the ladies after they have developed flowers
 
So I don't know if it matters or not but I do not adjust the ph of my foliar sprays I know people who do and there results look the same as mine . I have seen This question pop up from time to time and ive never seen any real research as to weather or not it has any effect .
 
Its important to use a fine mist of slightly warmer water than room temp bout 80 and don't saturate the plant to keep stomatas from snapping shut..I foliar feed all the way through harvest but being careful. If a residue is left on the leaves you sprayed too much or dryed it too fast.. late into flowering I won't foliar feed nutes to make sure I'm not smoking anything but bud..

great point of view ,
I ph to keep my hand in ,
as i am new to coco and and want to think of every angle.The run of from my leaf wash MAY influence the ph of my medium. Also i like to mimic nature as my fall back.
what hits the soil (ok coco) would in theory hit the leaf first .

Thanks for the input billy it probly doesn't matter since theres no uptake from the roots but might aswell stay on the safe side just incase.
Maybe one day ill do a side by side comparison of ph adjusted foliar spray vs none ph adjusted
Also ty wizo didnt know the water should be above room tempt I just leave my bottle sitting ontop of my cabinet but will keep this advice in mind
