Wondering if it's just me... but after a fine foliar spray (e.g., Neem oil, or Epsom salts) I like to firmly grab the base of the trunk and jostle her around, to shake any droplets off the leaves and to get some deep inside the bushes. My fan doesn't feel quite powerful enough to penetrate all the way through. Anyway, I feel like the plants might like being free to dance around a bit, shake off the water, and free up any tangled branches. Or am I just crazy?

They look good sanez. Maybe try to maneuver those tops to separate squares? I don't shake my plants although I probably should as that elicits a 'stay short' response. Strain I am on atm is stretching at least 100%. oh, and watch your eyes when playing in there.
I never shake my plants, honestly i think its counter productive as you want the plant to absorb the foliar. just make sure to spray neem at lights out cause neem degrades from light. good airflow should dry them up in time before lights go on.
Yeah it's a little disorganized in there. Need to spread the tops out a bit better. First time trying this! Where did you hear about this "stay short" response? But you can see it's still pretty wet/oily even after shaking. It just spreads the bigger droplets around that managed to pool on some of the leaves. They don't need that much. Hard to mist all the way under and inside when she's so bushy and tangled up inside the net, so some leaves get oversprayed to compensate. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Get yourself a Chapin 1949 sprayer, best money you will ever spend. It's a great powerful sprayer, has a long metal wand and will last you a lifetime. You will be able to get everywhere under the scrog with that.
biology class. I can look up papers... maybe I will a little a little later and start a thread on it (?) Think windy climate, short plants. Same principle.
Heh, nice. If you find some nice papers/info, a separate thread would be useful! I had actually tried searching around for a more general idea/principle here, but came up short myself (pun intended). I don't think this is very common knowledge among growers.
