Trying to get some ideas on a new foliar. I've used Nitrozyme in the past. I'm thinking of either doing a low dosage of BioCanna in a sprayer, some Floralicious Plus, or just some BioThrive Green. I was thinking about some Purple Maxx as it is 100% organic, but really don't know a whole lot about the Emerald Triangle products. Any ideas or thoughts?

You just named a bunch of product brand names.

Kelp + water = foliar spray.
its organic and not a fancy expensive bottle of water.

I named what I had available that I thought might work well, and I named some stuff I had been looking into. I have tried teas in the past as a soil drench and have had some issues with them, so I moved away from them. Thank you guys for your input.

Kelp+water=foliar spray. it dont come with instuctions, so you gotta do research.

I gave a buddy of mine abunch of organic stuff, he handed it back and said Intill theres insuctions on the back I will stick with bottled nutes... LOL

I use liquid Karma in my garden, I love the stuff, if you are going to buy a bottle Liqud Karma (botnicare)

Kelp has like .2, 0, .3. You could burn with a guano tea at full strength but kelp shouldn't burn anything.

I use a number of different things depending on the strain and I growing and how my soil soil is holding up. I do have certain things that all the plants get though throughout the grow. I use molasses throughout the cycle starting when the plants are about 6 to 8 inches tall, seems to give the foliage a nice little boost throughout the grow. The molasses when used in small amounts 1/2 tsp per 2 liters in the sprayer.
I also give the girls and boys doses of cal/mag when they are switched to flower cycle and they get this every 15 days throughout the flower cycle. Seaweed/Kelp extract is used everyother week on most strains and I do have a couple of my own crosses which seem to like it more every week. This just could be me thinking this on certain strains but even every week you can't hurt your plants. I also, have some amino acid nutes which are certified organic for Costa Rica which are added to the feed whenever the plants show any sign of def. in their grow, I also use this with my waterings.
Fish emulsion is by far my favorite additive for foliar feeding and just to give the plants a special look that nothing else seems to give the plant. One good thing about this I might add is that fish emulsion is a natural antifungal so it helps to ensure no mold from spraying.
Hydrogen Peroxcide is used regularly throughout the grow in almost all foliar feedings and sprayings. I know this will get lots of people saying you will kill your plant!! Well I have used it in all my grows, my gardens and all of my fruittrees on the farm. Works great for mold and fungus. I use it also in my waterings at times, this is dependent upon how my plants look, call it a judgement call.
Baking Soda is used to fight mold when if it is totally out of hand. This stuff can be dangerous to your plants, easy to burn them and upset the plants ph. Have used it for years but also have had many accidents over the years. Today there are many products in the States which will take the place of this but alas, they are not available here.
Foliar Feeding is an art IMHO, takes awhile to understand how it works, when to use it and what to put into it. For the bottle grower, those that think whatever I buy in the store is best to use, have no problems. For those that have knowledge of plants and have a basic understanding of how plants and their enemies work mixing your own ingredients can solve most problems with what they have in their household.
PS.....Almost forgot, sorry medicated this morning...... Manure tea in my sprays........its magic. This goes into my regular spray program

Kelp Extract. Worm Casting tea(not as hot as Guano or Compost tea). Superthrive(not organic). All for Veg Only IMO. Just some stuff I use. Cane, how much peroxide are you using?

Piney here is a little chart for you to look over with amounts h2o2 to add. It also has some other things such as the baking soda and other homemade remedies. One other thing superthrive may not be organic but over the years I must admit to using it just about every grow of the girls, veggies and maybe its just habit but I always use it for my clones/rootings of all plants. Don't know if it works but my grandpa used it and he taught me about growing things, so call it generational custom, lol.

There are many things in these that I use and many more that I have tried and either thought wasn't worth the work or just more work than some of the other remedies.
Anything less I can help you on just drop me a PM, good luck with your grow.
