I have never been too into foliar feeding any of you guys partake in this practice, and have you done research is there benefits to foliar feeding? I mean can I get even bigger buds? Wait do I need bigger buds? What the fuck am I saying of course I need bigger buds.
Wait, I thought that's what Saturator was basically - foliar feed?
You can foliar feed with any nutrients I have just never attempted it.
Saturator is only a wetting agent that encourages the plant to take in what is being sprayed on it's leaves. Dutch Master claims that their formula is more effective than water and dish soap.
I'm not going to say it will give you bigger buds, it will however, give you happy plants. I only foliar feed between waterings, and then, only if the plant needs it. If not, I'll usually just use PH water and a weak mix of Big Bloom. Foliar feeding can be key to correcting a deficiency issue as well. Several fixes for deficiencies are slow acting, such as top dressing lime on a plant to treat for a Mg problem. Instead, you can dissolve lime in PH'ed water and mist the plant, or use some Cal-Mag and foliar feed. With foliar feeding, you are bypassing the roots and giving the plant what it needs directly.
Your telling me, I thought I would have had jars of coletrain by now but one more week it is. I chopped a few branches that were hidden and not getting much bigger they should last a week or two. the stuff is dank i just want some amber trics and all those new calaxes need to swell up just a bit.
I used to be an amber trich kinda guy myself. Then I read the Mar 2011 High Times. There was a reference to a study done by a scientist on trichomes. He was able to determine that THC content was highest, when the resin in the trichomes was clear. I'm going to shoot for 50/50 myself this time around, 50% clear, 50% cloudy. Of course I'll watch the calyxes too. My last harvest was a bit early, which is why I suspect the high is intense and not couchy, but the calyxes were almost non-existent.
I am going to give her another look under the scope today by next Thursday the tops have got to go then ill leave the bottom buds to fill in for another week and a half.
My tap water is pissing me off. It is nearly 400 ppm out the faucet, so I have been spending about $15 a week on water.
Yea mine is like 250 its pretty crappy I almost went through one of the large bottles of Acid. I have a water store down the road that sells it for not too bad I will be doing that this time around.
