I'm battling a nitrogen deficiency and I don't want to lose my baby. Does anyone have a guide for foliar feeding veg nutes? What PPM of spray should I be aiming for?

Please help!!

Miracle gro. Seems like a nitrogen deficiency and possible overwatering. I'm just trying to figure out what PPM I should be aiming for for a foliar feed of vegetative nutes
Thanks for underlining the original question again. There's much more to growing than my plants look like they have a deficiency so I'll add more of "X", that's why I asked. Adding more nutrients without diagnosing the root problem could just cause more issues.

If you want help diagnosing the plants, tell us more info about your setup, light, media, nutrient PPMs/feeding schedule, PH, etc. Looking at your plants, I think you have multiple issues, and foliar feeding some grow formula won't help. Good luck to you Sir/Madame/Other!

I usually shoot for 150 to 200ppms using r/o water with a base ppm of 0 around 7ph spray around 30 minutes before lights on that's when the transcuticular pores or stomata are able to absorb the most nutrients.

I don't want help diagnosing the plant. I want help with PPMs used for foliar feeds. Hence the question. I don't get why it is so hard on this site to get a simple question answered. I get you are trying to help. Help me by answering the question I asked
The problem is the question you are asking may have zero relation to the problem we see you having. So there's that. Good luck and I hope your foliar feeding them N in flower works out for you. Btw how do you plan to flush that out of the buds before smoking?

If its with mirical grow, i go with 50% max folier feeding. Iusualy let themdry off b4 i place them back under a light to avoid scorching, but i use HID lighting

Yeah screw these jerks with decades worth of knowledge. Foliar feed at full strength, you want it to get there fast and hard.

Decades of knowledge is great. However, sometimes people learn best by doing. Not answering a simple question is not a sign of high intelligence.

I'm fine with that. Let me do some learning on my own. I just don't get why time and time again on this site someone asks a simple question and no one can provide a simple answer. It's not that hard if y'all are really so knowledgeable.

Because it's not a simple question/simple answer scenario if you want correct information.

You want a direct answer? 0 ppm. Don't foliar feed in flower. Take care of your plants properly and don't let your plants get in that position.
