I personally don't do much foliar feeding.

Not only because it tends to slightly burn the leaves but my grow area is lined with mylar and it is a bitch to clean! I will do some light misting of a very dilluted nutrient solution when I have my plants under fluorescents. That is only for the first 2-3 weeks though, I never really like to foliar feed under my HID lamp.

I just don't think foliar feeding is necessary.

The leaves are for light and if you have a healthy root system they will suck up all the nutrients they need. It's just more of a pain in the ass and there is not a substantial benefit to foliar feeding.
