Foilar spray

[Canadianclstgrower]

So I talked to an advanced nutrient rep and he told me to make a veg foilar spray of B52 and calmag but I haven’t been able to find the information I need to set my ph on my foliar feed last thing I want to do is go ahead and feed them and burn them to shit cuz it’s tooo acidic or something

6.3 for my sprays. No problemos. AFAIK ph doesnt matter as plant takes it all during foliar feeds. So ppm is the biggest factor.

Okay thank you man what do you think I should run for a ppm about 1/2-1/3 what I put in the root zone?

Atm the girls are small I’m only feeding them about 350-450ppm they just started their true veg and I’m seeing some red stems and a few damn things I will need to up my next feed I just watered them yesterday so I figured a spray is a good supplement to get them the cal mag and iron they need before the next feed on wed/ thurs

Really don't know about B-52 but Cal-Mag works very well by Xtreme Gardening - would really dilute the B-52 what about SuperThrive ?

Yea, less than usual feeding ppm. Some nutes are immobile so the plant cant move them to other parts, which would cause some burn.

Yea I plan on only adding a drop or 2 of the b52 what it is is kelp, amino acids, humid acids, a full spectrum B vitamin with a wetting agent so it’s AN version of super thrive kind of with their own mixture of stuff but I will consider grabbing some for sure

Humic acids*^

And thank you man I’m going to mix up a solution I’ll try it on a few leafs today before giving them all a mist in the morning

So I mixed a solution up at half the strength the rep told me to hahaha over 500ppm that would have scorched them I diluted it down to about 200 ppm and misted a few leaves that should be much better

Fed them this morning already seeing results the red on the stems is subsiding and the girls have shot up

and if you can feed them just before light go on for best absorption -- remember to spray the under sides of the leaves this is were it all happens you are feed the "stomas" of the plant which aid in up-take

I did lights on is at 6am sharp I went in and hit them at 5:55 this morning started with underneath and worked my way around
