When flowering, when is the best time?

When in flower there is never a good time for foliar spray becouse too much moisture in your dense bud's will cause fungus NO-NO dont foliar feed in bloom.

Well the moisture is controlled by my dehumidifier so that's not an issue. They're are blooming, and I'm adding a foliar spray that is meant to be during this phase but it doesn't say when is most efficient.
I assume just before the lights come on would be good enough.

ya its not recommended but if it is a must and you got something for flowering i would say the beginning of your light cycle so it gives your plants a chance to absorb/dry out what you sprayed on them. anytime you spray/mist your plants try to do it in the beginning of your light regiment. btw whats the name of the stuff your folier feeding during flowering???

I don't know what it is but I would say it's a big NO NO too. I know you think you may need it but I just went through learning not too much even in veg. I got a bit of nute burn. If I had to it would be right when the lights go out. The spray and the light will cause more burn. They need to dry out in the dark if you can control humidity. I would not risk mould on my buds. You already have done enough. If you take the chance keep us up so others can learn. Please don't take that chance.

I am using DNF Gold, 3 ml per liter. It increases flower sites during bloom.

I use Bushmaster in the nuits for 24 hrs.,during the first week of flower
it will put bud sites on a 2x4

Bush masters is for veg time. and I plan on using gravity in flower To harden and thicken up buds. The two work together over the whole grow.

Don't know, but from what I have read some say it's only necessary to compensate for nute deficiencies in the medium. I'm also debating on this...

the inst. on Bushmaster say at beginning of bloom,while some users wait up to two weeks.
if all else fails read the directions
Friend used Gravity,it made such hard rocks ya needed a jackhammer to break them up. might be better on a foxoytailed sativa
oh and the hydro folks say DNF stands for DOES NOT FLOWER

So you can foliar feed up to 3 weeks before harvest, but some products that are oil based are applied up until 3 days before harvest. Be sure you use a wetting agent if needed. I think pH should be 7.5(?) check that out yourself and spay under the leaves always with an ultrafine mist.
Damn now I'm sober. Give me hit of yours when she harvests
