Foliar feeding is a technique of feeding plants by applying liquid fertilizer directly to their leaves. I'm pretty sure that it's already been proven, but there are still skeptics, including myself. However, I noticed that a few plants I've been foliar feeding recently are now ahead in growth by 1-2 nodes compared to it's siblings started from seed at the same time. I want to see if I can reproduce these results and be sure that it's not just a fluke.
Technique Claims: Increased growth / foliage.
Purpose: To see whether or not foliar feeding has any benefit.
Treatment Group (given CNS-17 daily through leaves): [2] Vortex, [2] Jilly Bean, [1] Space Bomb
