Is foliar necessary?

When you’re plants are already healthy that is.
I have on hand Heavy 16 nutes and foliar which I think may have caused some burn spots on the leaves actually. ( yea I foliar during lights out)

I’m probably gonna switch, I just don’t wanna waste it lol

Foliar is unnecessary. And not advised to wet the plants before dark if possible.

lol it was a newbie tax. I’m gonna look into the microbial sprays tho, for protection from pests.

I've only ever done them for situations where I needed a quick fix so if they are healthy than no, not needed and you have a better chance of messing up your plants. I always spray for pests in veg regardless if I have them or not though.

I wouldn't do foliar sprays unless you have to, like to eliminate pests or whatnot. It is unnecessary, adds more variables to your grow and just not needed.

Regular foliar sprays of biofungicides like Southern Ag Biological Fungicide or Serenade are an excellent investment for anyone. Regular neem or potassium bicarbonate, or both!!, sprays are also good for the same reason. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Yeah, I love azamax or neem

Lots of controversy and unknowns with Azamax...it's banned in Cali , Oregon , Colorado.....it's suspect of carcinogenic effects. Sited as endocrine , liver , reproductive toxicant plus a neurotoxicant........this results from detection of " permethrin " . Highly toxic to honeybees, cats and aquatic life.............with all of these concerns and possibilities, I'd try another method...why roll the dice? I read a while ago that it's banned in England due to incidents and concerns. The detection problem is direct result of differentiating between permethrin and cannabinoids ergo analysis questionable....yada-yada, I'm a blabber mouth with a big bong in hand...........I love DE foilar sprays...knocks the hell out of any insect with exoskeleton.........used it many times and luckily, all prior to flowering (I hate dirtying up those pretty buds ).

Only for a specific purpose like bugs/deficiencies imo if a plants healthy it doesn't need it, my spray bottle is rarely used on plants, when it is used now its for sterilising trays/reservoir with chlorine.

I like kelp spray.....I swear them become more robust , rapidly.
