well i am a "foliar feeding" guy so i say dont be scurred and spray that shit!!! im sorry tmb and djj but i have to respectfully disagree with u on this one, even tho its hard when i look at ur ops. i foliar feed all the way up to my last feeding which is about a week before i plan on harvesting and i havent had any problems. i just make sure i dont drench them. i also do it in the morning so the sun can dry the buds out. maybe give em a little shake a hour or so after feeding. ed rosenthal says that 80% of a plants cell receptors that ingest and process nutrients are on the leaves, the undersides to be exact, and that only 20% are on the root tips. so i say foliar feed until they are covered pretty good in the solution then pour whatever u got left in the sprayer over the roots. thats just my 2 cents and i know a lot of people wont agree, ive noticed the old school growers in peticular dont agree with me on this, but i swear by foliar feeding.
Interesting....
I'm glad someone chimed in on this issue who foliar feeds up to the last days. What do you foliar feed with?
I just feel that the risk out weighs the reward, especially at this stage in the game. I guess the thing to do is foliar feed a couple branches on a plant, and leave the rest alone, feeding just by the roots, and see what happens to those branches.
Another thing, don't your medicine taste like fertilizers foliar feeding that late? Can't be healthy medicating on buds sprayed with fertilizers.
I respect your growing technique, and will investigate your thread to check out your grow, but mother nature feeds through the root system, and so will I..... not nice to mess with mother nature!....lol
Stay Safe...
