Applying microbes to the leaves and plant surfaces forms a barrier from pest and disease as there is no real estate for things like PM to take hold. Some of the microbes, in EM1 & photo+, actually enter into the plant tissue and cells(photosynthetic bacteria) assisting in nutrient assimilation and photosynthesis obviously. So just like root microbes, we need to foster the microbes living on the plant surfaces too. Same methods apply, foliar feed with added microbes, then everyday, every other, or bi-weekly; foliar feed again with a little Aphrodites added to whatever else you might be mixing up. This of course feeds the plant but it also feeds the microbes living on the plant!! This boosts CO2 levels around the plant too, from the surge of energy the microbes get, if plants jump up and pray hard this CO2 boost is one of the main contributors!! You will find some foliars don't really give these powerful reactions, if that's the case just omit it from your foliar regimen. Keep the recipes simple so you can see what the plant responds to the best and take good notes: the recipe, good or bad reaction, growth stage, etc.
