I have read through countless threads on various forums and have found that some folks swear by foliage feeding and they are coming out with some amazing results. I am just wondering if anyone out there uses this particular one as I picked up a tiny 11 oz bottle to try out. It only takes 5ml per gallon and I am using a 36 oz bottle to spray from so the bottle is going to last a while.

Any knowledge you care to share would be appreciated, thank you.

Dyna Gro Foliage Pro isn't made for foliar feeding (spraying on the leaves), it's a nutrient like any other meant to be mixed in your res. That being said, there's no reason you can't use it to foliar feed. You can use ANY nutrient to foliar feed if you like.
Other than clearing up the confusion that Foliage Pro's name brought on I got no advice for you as I don't foliar feed (but I have used Dyna Gro Foliage Pro in veg and it works great!)

Why talk out your ass? :roll:

FP is intended to be used as a foliar, as per the label and the website:

http://www.dyna-gro.com/Website pdf Files/DG Formulas App Rates.pdf


"Foliage-Pro® 9-3-6 tropical foliage formula has the 3-1-2 N-P-K ratio recommended by the Apopka Research Center in Florida for foliage production. Interiorscapers across the country use Foliage-Pro to maintain healthy, controlled growth on foliage plants and trees. It outperforms all others in low light environments. The 3-1-2 ratio of N-P-K results in greater mineral uptake by tropical foliage plants, bamboo and ferns reducing harmful salts build-up and eliminating nutrition deficiencies. Maintenance: Mix ¼ tsp. (3 squirts) per gallon of water with every watering. Production: Mix 1 tsp. per gallon of water, once a week. For monthly feeding, use 2 tsp. per gallon of water. Siphon Mixer: (1:15 ratio) Mix 2-4 fl.oz. per gallon of water for a concentrate feed solution. Foliar Application: Mix ¼ to ½ tsp. per gallon of water and spray directly of leaves."

I use as a foliar spray before lights out as recommended on bottle. It is a very powerful concentrate and does make plants nice and healthy. It can be used as spray during veg , then I mix a bit with bloom to feed in soil for added bud building.

Actually, it is YOU who speaks from his behind. DG's Foliage Pro is a plant food whose intended purpose is to be fed to the roots. As Tallen stated, pretty much any food can be used as a foliar spray, including FP, but in my experience you'll get the best results feeding the roots.

I think you're misinterpreting the label. They give directions on 4 different usage rates, 3 of which are for the roots. Somehow you interpreted that as meaning Foliage Pro is 'intended to be used as a foliar'. Foliage Pro is meant for the roots but can be sprayed on the leaves if needed (like many other foods). Is that what you meant?

Maintenance: Mix ¼ tsp. (3 squirts) per gallon of water with every watering.

Production: Mix 1 tsp. per gallon of water, once a week. For monthly feeding, use 2 tsp. per gallon of water.

Siphon Mixer: (1:15 ratio) Mix 2-4 fl.oz. per gallon of water for a concentrate feed solution.

Foliar Application: Mix ¼ to ½ tsp. per gallon of water and spray directly of leaves.

I've heard you're not to use anything with nitrates as a foliar feed. Believe it was Harley Smith? He explains why but I can't remeber.

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.RIU-Gigabud Resin0298.jpg

Nothing herein came out my ass.

I'll listen to someone who has many years experience and a degree, probably several, over your useless information. Seriously did you even provide any useful info? Or just fail badly at trying to talk shit? "I use it cause the bottle says I can". Of course it does, if you are spraying it all over your plants and feeding it to them too you are using more, which means buying more of course. Now why would a company do that?

"OG Gardenz, post: 11719103, member: 903495"]I foliar spray kelp, fulvic acid and yucca during veg ...... and amino acid, fulvic acid and yucca during flower[/QUOTE]

Thats a pretty solid combination. Fulvic/humic acids with kelp are some of the best bio-stimulants. Underated imo. Adding the yucca as a wetting agent is a nice touch.
