Do you foliar-feed?

I foliar spray for genetic triggers and responses, not so much feeding the plant.

It's not a good practice for feeding the plant but a good one for getting different genetic responses from natural PGR's like yucca, kelp and amino acids found in those. Many are more effective as foliar feed for those trigger but not at feeding the plant.

They work effectively in a hydro/water culture setting where you want the positive genetic triggers but don't want to make your nutrient solution dirtier and less stable by introducing organics in the nutrient solution.

Typically I don't spray anything on my plants. However, I am trying a bit of foliar feeding this run. I use a dilute solution of Schultz liquid 10-15-10 during the veg cycle. I am a big Schultz fan. I know it's common and is probably tied to some bad corporate whatever...but the plants seem to love it. Of course, I won't be spraying during the flower cycle.

Does anyone foliar-feed? And, if yes, then what do you use?
Try giving liquid kelp as a foliar spray. They absolutely love it

Maybe it's just a coincidence and I got a really vigorous strain (Tuna Kush), but I'm seeing some exceptionally-large fan leaves. I think they are the biggest fan leaves I've ever had on a plant. Do I attribute the growth to foliar feeding? I can't be sure. As some have already suggested, it might just be that they are enjoying the extra moisture. But whatever it is, the plants are just over a month old in veg. and they are growing very well so I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing for a couple more weeks. After the flip, I won't spray anything, thereafter.

I'll still spray till week 3 in flower.
I use flora flex, I spray their foliar spray. Def makes plants flip faster, and budset quicker. During veg, it can help with any small deficiencies you might have. You can get down the rabbit hole of mobile vs immobile nutrients, and how foliar spraying can bring those immobile nutes directly to the areas that need it.... It's not as simple as spritz spritz but yea....

Those indicas can throw some huge f'ing fan leaves. I've pressed some exceptionally large leaves for preservation. I've placed them randomly in books ( big books obviously) in our " library ", for future bookworms to discover.I can't imagine all of the different places that these artifacts will show up.
