Indoor Foliar Feeding Tips?

[Chipper68]

Hello! I'm hoping this isn't a duplicate question, but never having had lights on 24 hours... I'm wondering how any Foliar Feeding is done during this cycle?

Is it as simple as waiting until if/when you drop to 18/6 or so?

Any specific likes dislikes for Foliar Feeding of Autos?

Having misted seedlings in past (?) and a bit of pre-treatment of neem/sm-90 etc, led to wonder how others do this.

Thanks in advance! :tiphat:

I would do it on 18/6 and do a test ..you dont want to burn or harm the leaf with lights on ..im not a pro on foliar though...I do like some dark time with my autos.

Since first trying foliar feeding it's now a part of my daily routine and I swear by it. From the second week I mist daily with a very very watered down veg nutrient, slowly increasing the strength of the mixture over the next week. From the 3rd week I use 1/5th recommended strength nutrient mix. I usually foliar feed until the plant starts it's final growth spurt.

In comparison to plants I haven't sprayed I get a much bushier plant from the ones which I have been foliar feeding, every time.

I use 18/6 throughout but if I was to do 24hrs light I would spray whenever you want, as long as your temps are where they need to be in order for the plant to absorb the feed. Too higher temp doesn't work, will simply soak your plant and increase risk of damage to the plant.

Hope this helps!

Use bottled water or a decently filtered water should be used imo.chlorine and chlorimine free goes without saying I think..I personally wouldnt do it on a 24 schedule but Im an 18 hour kinda grower.as long as your not flowering youll be fine.as soon as you start doing foliar on floering plants more than a cpl weeks into they wont be as nice nor as smokeable.excellent for oil n the like though.Try adding kelp liquid and/or frass to your feeding swaps.i bet youll like em.and unless your in a humididome I really wouldnt spray seedling or young plants.atleast on the tops as far as a foliar feeding goes.treatments are different though.but its excellent for an early boost for the first few weeks.especially if you talking organics then you can really make your own recipes and strengths and then bring in Photos or semi auto,man that REALLY let them feed nicely.

and if your doing a pest type prevention spray Id stick with feeding only and use a natural systemic additive such as SNS(sierra Natural sciences) and apply them to your water and theyll give you that piece of mind ya want and they work excellent too.
