Foliar feeding is superior to root feeding. Outdoors you should have adequate ventilation. You cut all ferts a month to a month and a half before harvest anyway, right? Same rule.
Beware of explosive growth.

Man ya need to do some reading. Dont advise if you dont know what the hell your talking about. Ignore all he said as everything is not even close to being true. Stop feeding a month before harvest? Foliar is not something that you do to help ventalation. damn bro, do some reading or grow one at least:wtf:



If your budding and your plants look good do not foliar feed, it can lead to bud root. Also they spray can lay in the buds and could burn them up when the sun comes out. But as humid as its been, its the last thing you want to do is add more moisture to your buds. But rot will make ya have to cut infected pieces of your plant off and ya dont want this.

But why are you wanting to feed this way?

He DIDN'T say you do it to "help ventilation", he noted that there is decent enough ventilation outdoors (so you don't get bud rot), read what you're replying to. And there's no need for an attitude. Now that that's said, use light doses of fertilizer when foliar feeding and if you choose to do it during flowering do it in the morning and shake the excess off so the buds have a chance to dry :thumbsup:

still not recommended, though

I dont use ferts. I use fish emulsion. I wont foileir spray then. Thanks

Actually Stomper. Fish emulsions ARE fertilizer. Mater of fact when the Pilgrims were starving to death the Wampanoag indians showed them how to put a fish in with each seed. Worked then...Works now. It's the only thing I use (in concert with some mild guano teas...Good luck with your grow

[Stomper420]

Yea, your right but not chem ferts

[GROWxMOREx420]

I am a firm believer that the only thing you should be spraying your plant foilage with is Neem Oil.

Foliar Feeding

Foliar feeding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Been doing it more than 20 years. And indoors where the alleged ventilation issues would occur.

And when you become a bit more clued,try adding rooting powder to your tea or whatever you do use root feed.
