Quoting from my first thread ever here when I joined a week ago or so.



So basically I trust what more experienced growers than me in these boards suggest and experiment a little too. As for the root booster going into the soil I'm not sure but my logic dictates that all the processes of nutrient breakdown happens inside the plant so either way of providing those nutrients would be ok. Plus iirc foliar feeding if done correctly is preferable if possible due to the reason that you minimize alkaline concentration in the soil that could alter the pH faster? Correct me and excuse me if I'm wrong but as I said atm I just know what I've been reading around. 0 experience whatsoever but I'm working on that s we speak :rastasmoke:

btw, anyone that can clear up the veg stage for me? I still don't have it clear what indicates that a seedling enters its vegetative period.

Peace!

I'm not familiar with foilar feeding, I'm also learning like you do. I read about it but still I have concerns about the foliar feeding of Root Booster. Since it's a supplement for the roots it should work for the roots more than the leaves I'm thinking. I would like to hear some specific answer from a trusted hand for that too if anyone experienced in soil, foliar feeding of root supplements.
I read the previous thread but you weren't talking about root booster there so advice you got from an experienced hand can't always point your exact situation.
I didn't foliar feed, I didn't use light mix in the beginning but my cotyledons lived for 20 days.

Just I'm trying to say is, simple details that you missed can be the main reason of your problem my friend.
Keep peace with you :hippy:
