Foliar Feeding & Liquid Light, Miracle Food or Hoax?

[PharmaCan]

Well you ARE... but in a different way.
I want to put together a canncom team and compete in Junkyard Wars. I nominate xcrispi to be team captain, since it appears he's unusually mechanically inclined!

Team CanCom - we get the other side too stoned to fight.

PC :stoned:

Good team motto PC.

I was thinking. I wonder if a system intended for airbrushing graphics would work. Seems like it should; it's basically a scaled-down auto body sprayer. The only thing I would be concerned about was making sure that the solution does not corrode the cone in the sprayer, since it's salty and acidic. You'd want to rinse out VERY well, maybe even running some alcohol (solvent) through as the last rinse step to get all traces of water out of there and make it work for longer.

ok, I know EXACTLY what u need if u wanna do it with a gun.

HVLP
High Volume Low Pressure gun.
like a autospray paint gun, but uses a vacume turbine blower instead of a compressior.

AND, some companies used PLASTIC tip components.
i know 1 co. did for sure and i have some of their old equipment!

if u use a 0.073in nozzle, theres no chance u can get clogged and can always open the needle valve-style tip to blow out any gunk.

i'll look around, i know i have a couple of them here.

if i can find the setup, you're welcome to try it out.
u'll need to supply ur own turbine tho, that i wont give up.

a small shop vac can be easily rigged to do it.


-(edit)- i'm gonna go get some liquid lite, they had it at 2 places about a month or 2 ago and i didnt do it, now u got me psyched.

And with good reason. I got a free sample of Liquid Light and Penetrator (be sure to use Penetrator), did 2 applications, and all I can say at this point is oh my, holy cow, holy crap, oh my God, good night, man, whew...

More to come.

I wrote all about it, then it got wiped out during the recent improvements. Maybe I can muster up the will power to try again later.

Anybody who tries it be sure to take a "before" picture to compare it to "after". I wish I did.

Opie
2 things,,,

1- i totally spaced on finding my spray gun, its on todays "to do" list

2- i got the LL yesterday, 1 local place has it. they do ship, i can give u their info, OR, i can get it for you and send it.
I only saw 1 size, the 34oz/1L was 50 bones.

not sure if they had a bigger size:wtf:

lemme kno bro


ps- i started using it, see the B.R. and P-scrog logs for results.
and i did do a b4 pic as u mentioned.

[Rock.Steady]

ok, found the old cupgun.
you can prolly get the residual coating off the inside of the cup with a strong solvent, or get a cheapo replacement from a place like Harbor Freight.

want it?

Thanks for thinking of your fellow stoner, I really appreciate the offer. I'll pass though, because I have a few ounces left from the sample, and tomorrow morning will be the last time this grow for me to foliar feed. I'm too paranoid about bud rot, since the hydro store guy said I should only foliar feed during the first week of flowering. Tomorrow will be 3 1/2 weeks into flower, but I've got about 30 humidity which isn't real conducive to mold or fungus growth. I'm hoping in a month or so when my next grow gets going good the stores around here will carry it, if not I was going to order it on line. Long story short, no thank you.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing a before and after shot or two. I'll check the logs, but maybe this thread would be a good place to show the folk as well.

For me? Wow. As lovely, lovely, legs Lilly says in Blazing Saddles, vhat a nice guy. This one I thought about quit a bit and had trouble deciding. It eventually came down to another no thank you. After having a chance to try my new hand sprayer, I am really quite satisfied with it. From the poorly conducted initial test I thought it was just spraying in the outer edges of a cone shape (outward from the nozzle of course), but after testing it on a couple surfaces I saw that it does spray in the middle areas of the cone as well. Note quite as well as I'd like, but not bad really. So for spraying plants, until I get like half a room to spray, I'll have to pass.

Now I also thought about saying yes just due to the fact that I have been putting off spraying some cabinets. They've just been sitting there in the family room we use more as a storage area, waiting for me to lacquer the parts and assemble and install them. About 1 1/2 yr. ago I bought a high end Wagner personal sprayer (some sonic deal) and have not even taken it out of the box yet. I don't even know if it works yet, so I was thinking of saying yes to your offer just so I could have a back up sprayer (got 2 compressors). To be honest, I thought it would probably end up sitting around here for a decade or so, since I'll probably never get to build my hot rod anyway. I would hate to see such a nice gesture go to waste, if indeed you planned on giving it to me. Now that I think about it you never said if you wanted anything for it, but either way I would like to see it go to a nice family that would take good care of it.

Thanks again.

PS, I feel extremely sorry for those of you who have not yet seen Blazing Saddles. Nowhere in the movie do saddles blaze up, but it is in my top 5 movies of all time. One of the funniest damn movies I've ever seen. There's even some MJ use for people like us. I don't know about you guys, but when I see someone tokin in a movie, for some reason I just have to do it as well.

Wait.....you two are SERIOUSLY talking about sprayguns for your plants......omg.

I'm going to get to the bottom of this.....
