Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro (Any Info?)

[homebrewer]

Lol. I quote the label. You call it "misinterpreting."

Just because they give a dosage suggestion for a certain application doesn't mean that was its intended use. That is where you're misinterpreting things.

before you go shooting your mouth off, HB has a point, seasoned growers dont 'quote' labels

[skunkd0c]

can any of you guys give your views on this food please
does it look ok, seems to be very low on P ?

Iron is DTPA chelate
Manganese, zinc and copper are EDTA chelates
No pH stabilizers/buffers

"Foliage Pro" is just a name the company came up with because the formulation is intended for foliage plants (plants with green leaves) not the method of delivery.

my 2 cents on this is absolutely listen to @homebrewer

if nothing else check out his many FP side by side grows

dude knows FP !!!

 

[taGyo]

I can never find those grows, where are they?
Only ones I've been able to find and read through are AN vs GH and GH vs Dyna-Gro.

Well, perhaps. I don't know, I'm just quoting the label. The product is Dynagro's, not mine, and so is the label and its application rates. I no longer use DG and have no skin in this game. But I have used it as a foliar in the past with good results.

Its possible you, Harley Smith or @homebrewer knows more about the product than the company that makes it. That'd be great. Lol.

But getting back to the original point: when someone who claims to not foliar feed offers advice contrary to the company's recommendation, AS WELL AS my personal experience, Ima point it out. That's all.View attachment 3452922

Nothing herein came out my ass.

Actually yeah. Homebrewer knows his shit. And Harley Smith dispels alot of forum bro science if you listen to him. Reasearch nitrates being converted to nitrites in foliar spraying. Most definitely....some smart individuals can know more (with testing and research) than a manufacturer....the industry is chocked full of carpetbaggers that dont know the products they are selling or dont care. Leave the nitrates for the medium root zone. Spray fulvic and kelp extracts for the leaves i say.

Foliage pro is great.It is all you need for young rooted clones,seedlings and plants in the vegetative stage.It also works great as a foliar feed.Just read the label! You may want to combine it with an additive.Something with your kelp,humic acid,enzymes,amino acids,hormones,silica etc. but foliage pro has all the macro and micro nutrients your growing plant needs.I foliar feed my plants every day.With the lights on too.I stop once the stretch stops or when the plants are where i want them.I'll use foliage pro amongst other things and when i switch to bloom i add mono potassium phosphate. but you could switch to dyna grow bloom.choose your own adventure.For veg. mix half tsp foliage pro,one tsp liquid karma(or something similar...BeOne by mad farmer looks good...or Nirvana by AN.),half tsp.pro-tekt(silica)and one drop soap in a gallon of water.the soap is a wetting agent..makes the liquid spread out instead of bead up.Spray once...twice...Raise the lights the first time if your not sure.My plants never burn.Occasionally i spray plain water to wash off excess salts.
Don't do this if you have terrible ventilation you don't want a humidity issue.

Old thread but still relevant and probably better to post here than start a new thread because some sensitive people on this site hate that shit.
Foliage pro is a good nutrient but as you mention above it's certainly far from standalone.
This is why I'm giving mega crop a try. It seems to go a bit further than dynagro products and works out to be even cheaper (although I'm not sure about their feeding rates, ec seems low at recommended rate).
After making the switch from using foliage pro and all pro for years I SHOULD be able to toss 5 or so bottles of things already included in mega crop.
Right now I've only given one feeding of mega crop to some soil plants so I have no idea how well it works, my res is too big to really make a judgement on it with the sample size they give you. I'll buy some and run it for a cycle at least to determine that.

Yeah the kid asked a simple question and epic battle ensued over nothing..for two pages.I figured I'd try and answer his question.
As far as mega crop goes I got some and I plan on giving away a whole lotta bottles to my friends...I was ready to go to dyna gro and golden tree alone but mega crop basically read my mind...I know i could mix my own dry nutes but...it would be miracle grow epsom salts and calcium carbonate...and golden tree! It's too late for me to notice what did what but if i drop everything and just feed megacrop from now(first week bloom)til harvest and it holds up then next crop i'm going all mega crop.
Since the amino acid chelated nutrients are completely new and organic(organicky)maybe you need to discover the right ec level for MC.I'm just growing some personals right now but i started at 1/4 tsp per gallon and now i'm at 1/2 tbls. and their lovin it.
