Foliar feeding. How much? How often?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by somenewgrower, May 1, 2019.

  1. My plant is currently at week 6. I started noticing nutrient deficiencies last week and started adding nutes (Dyna-Grow Foliage-Pro and Cal-Mag) but the deficiencies progressed. Something I hadn't done until yesterday was PH the runoff water. It is all the way down at 5.75. I feed the plant water PH'd to 6.5 so I assume that my growing medium (FFHF) is very, very acidic at this point. I went ahead and ordered Dolomite Lime to correct for that but it won't be here for a few days. In the meantime, I have heard that foliar feeding will enable my plant to absorb nutrients as quickly as possible. How often should I foliar feed? I would use less nutrients in the solution and it wouldn't take me nearly as much water to coat the plant than when I actually water it.
     
  2. Any foliar spray pros?
     
  3. Not really familiar with that brand of nutes, but most other nutes are once a week. Post some pics of the plant, to help diagnose it.
     
  4. I am using Dyna-Grow Bloom and Botanicare Cal-Mag. It says to feed with each watering on the back of each product. Here are a few pics of the plant, highlighting the issues...

  5. If it says daily then do so even if its half the dose, measure the PH before you feed. Your plant diffidently needs cal mag
