Foliar Feeding & Liquid Light, Miracle Food or Hoax?

[Rock.Steady]

ok, i'm going to try to pop in some quick answers here since I am very active in this experiment, Move over Opie, I'm takin the wheel for a couple blocks

first off, i have a detailed tech write up in post # 43 of this thread on page 2.lets not get too lazy, scroll back boys

Ya i started using LL and i think it does a difference do you guys use the penetrator aswell!!

yes, we are using Penetrator. and it is STRONGLY recomended u do. It is a highly effective wetting agent, helps uniform absorbtion and u will likely burn the leaves without it as DM recomends spraying while under the lights.

Looks like I might have to check this stuff out. Great thread. I had been using VHO to help get mine to stretch because they are so dense.

Do you always have to leave your light 15" or is that just durning the application and dry time?

the 15 inch mark is DM's minimum limit from the light to avoid burn while using LL. I did read somewhere that they recomend approx 24 inch during your spraying/drying time.

And How many ML of LL and Pen to a Liter!!

dosage frequency and levels. Recommended to be twice per week, but DM does go further to say an "aggressive" grower could spray every 2 days, .
Recommended dosage levels are 60ml/4 tbsp LL per 1 liter/qt of final spray solution. Spray til runoff. They also say you can store it mixed in solution for a week.
I simply used clean water as my spray solution.
BTW- Penetrator dosage level is the same. I make up 1 cup water/1 tbsp LL/1 tbsp Penetrator.

excellent thread, big thanks to the two experimenters! is this foliar stuff just for flowering or can you use it during veg?
Denial

1st, yes, use in veg and up to the 4th wk of flwr according to DM, u may wish to evaluate factors like ur humidity levels and flowr density to determine how long into flwr u want to try. always avoid a mold/budrot scenario, ur mileage may vary
IMHO i think the boost they received was more substantial in veg. However, i would not recomend using before the 2nd node. I shot some babies early and the main single leafs got all twisty and have stayed that way, to me this is proof that the LL amplified my veg-cfl's so much that i ran on the borderline of burn-damage, i'll get a pic up to show what i mean.

ok, that should cover most of u for now.

ok Opie, u can drive again

Actually Iâ??ve been hearing good things for years but have been reluctant to put another 4 or 5 items in my storage area, and an additional reoccurring dent in my bank account. My wife is absolutely thrilled when I pull that crap, and itâ??s been going on ever since I told her years ago that she can be happy now, because Iâ??m pretty much done spending money on the project, other than for the basic stuff like one veg Rating: 5
