Every starin ive ever grown outdoor has absolutely loved foliar feeding.
And ya that temp was unacceptable which is why I took out one of my lights. Hopefully that will bring it down to a reasonable temp. Probably going to be a warm night again so I'll try and stay up and keep tabs on tye temps.

Ok so after taking one of the lights out, that hanging thermo thats black only got up to 85 and the lower thermo only got to 78.
The plants look a bit happier, more leaf tips pointing up and stuff.

Hard to tell if anything was helped by adding nitrogen yet. But I'm still hopeful on that front.

usually this plant doesn't tolerate foliar well, but if you feel comfortable doing it that's fine. that temp is awful high.

Your saying which plants don't take well to foliar spray? This specific strain i assume you mean?

1/4 veg nutes and a Foliar spray of veg nutes with SM-90 (so you dont burn your leaves and overall viscosity change.) Goodluck.

He was trying to say cannabis in general doesnt like foliar. Because I didnt say what strains I have.

Personally I disagree my plants have always liked foliar feeding.

What exactly is sm90? Is it just a wetting agent? I will probably have looked it up before you respond so it may be a useless question haha.

Can you elaborate on that critical?

I mean its known that the plant uses p and k more in flower than in veg. Are you just saying that you thibk there is enough p/k in veg nutes?

I never used any bottled feed in veg on those plants because the soil i they are in has plenty of n for veg. I did give them some microbe brew and kangaroots and molasses in veg. But the first time I used bottled fertilizer on them was when I saw buds start (I.e. week 1).

So maybe when they went through their stretch they just depleted the rest of the available nitrogen in the soil.

Glad to hear she is doing better! Yeah you want to try to keep your temp around 75 to 85 (but I bet you know that). Keep up with that foliar feeding, its going to take a week or so before you can really see a difference. Some of the lower leaves won't recover and will likely fall off, so look to the middle and top as your guide on how the feeding is helping.

At what point would say foliar feeding shouldnt be done anymore? For instance I dont really want to be spraying nutes on buds if it is gonna affect the taste.

I would say a week or two before harvesting or the same time you stop feeding the soil.

Update* tad under a week since I gave them a bit of grow nutes and they are looking a bit happier. Tonight I gave them a foliar feeding of an all purpose fert with npk of 24-8-16 at 1/8 strength dosage. So obviously havent seen any change from that yet but here a couple crude pics as of tonight.

Right around 3.5 weeks of flower
