I'm a firm believer in foliar feeding in addition to a root drench. I get a lot of acrimonius remarks and general ridicule when I mention that I foliar feed my plants. I look at it like this, athletes can eat healthy and do just fine, but more times than not, they take supplements. Why not do the same for your plants? Sure the roots will give your plant all it needs, but the leaves are also a great way of administering goodies to your plants. I know I won't prove anything conclusively, but I am doing a test on my garden so we can all see if foliar feeding does or does not make a difference. (My enter key is not working on this site... does anyone know how to fix it? Private message me please. Otherwise, I will return later and edit my posts to be more reader friendly.) I am currently rowing heirloom tomato seeds. They are all from the same tomato plant, were planted on the same day into the same medium, given the same nutrient mixes and were grown in the same area. I have transplanted them into my garden and have continued feeding them all exactly the same, except for two of them. These two have been getting foliar sprays every two days. My foliar spray is similar to the recipe Heisenberg uses in his Hydro system. It is actually two different foliar sprays that I alternate. I will post photos soon so all of us can monitor the progress. Any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me.
