Why would you want to foliar feed, that is for sick plants that need a quick fix. Roots will do the work. On a healthy plant. could be why so many have problems with their leaves, too much chemicals on the leave could hurt them more than good. just my thought. You shouldn't foliar feed during budding so why get in a pattern, then you have to stop?

How many Sticky's can one forum have?? I am all for a subsection that has all the sticky's, so I dont have to scroll half way down the page to see the new threads.
I see nothing wrong with an occasional foliar feed during veg. The big question is how occasional a frequency are we talking here.
As mentioned, toxic or maybe not so much toxic as obnoxious build up on the leaves may not be the best thing. Would following up the next day with a pure water misting / rinse be a good policy??? I think so YMMV.
Correct me if I am wrong.... but I have heard that misting with pure water [or good old fashioned rain] makes otherwise inaccessible Nitrogen in the air available to the plants. SO..... Misting with pure water is a mild foliar feeding all by itself. No goofy micronutrients, fulvics, humics, seaweeds, gibberilics, brassilinoids, chitisans, goofinoids, slime emulsions, super thrivenoids etc required.
IF that is the case, that natural outdoor plants are getting a foliar feed every time it rains.... wouldn't misting, and perhaps light foliage feeds be an obvious part of the regimen if your trying to simulate what happens outside in the real world during the veg cycle???

I'd like to apoligize to you for the STFU comment.I just posted that because you were the first to post and you posted "Why would you want to foliar feed, that is for sick plants that need a quick fix" and "You shouldn't foliar feed during budding so why get in a pattern, then you have to stop?" I'm requesting a sticky on the thread for foliar info what can / can't be obsorbed facts and your post the first one on the thread basicly could of started some hate on foliar feedings thread I was just tryin to avoid that.

Here is a great thread on this topic:
https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/296685-lost-art-foliar-feeding.html
And it's really interesting because there's a debate between some badass formidable growers! And there are pretty nifty pics too...

I am a firm believer in misting. It is natural. Not sure if it does add beinifit, but it does not take away from them.

I mist my plants once after transplanting with thrive green!! than once again in 2 weeks and thats it. After that you have a good enough of roots esablished that you literally dont have to.
But some people do and some dont its just something else that can happen in my eyes.
Have to worry about mold, and also light with water on leaves could burn easily depend on light and distance.
thats just my 2 cents!!!
