    Hello BA

    Thinking of foliar feeding a weak solution of Shropshire Seaweed and Fulvic Acid. EC 0.5, PH 7.

    Why, well just as a tonic. They were knocked back slightly in first few weeks with lack of feed (and no PH ing for first few days). Also my RH is still lowish despite trays of water and wet towel.

    Try and keep things simple is the key to a trouble free Grow..
    You don't need to ph foliar feed, only when you are feeding via the roots.. Personally, With it being your first grow, I would stick to root stim at full strength until day 14 of 12/12 a&b feed and a Pk for a booster.. Once you understand how things work, then maybe try other additives.

    Thanks BA will try my best but you know what it is like on your first grow it's similar to your first girlfriend, all very experimental until you find out what works best. And like my first girlfriend I am listening to what my plants are telling to me.....how things change.

    To be honest toblue , i was never a big fan of foliar feeding unless plant gets sick , i dont use any chemical based nutes at all as it can burn your foliage under lights , but ill use a seaweed/worm casting/compost tea mix after lets say a supercrop or defoliation or pruning to help ease shock and stress ,

    And if you do foliar feed ,make sure theres no chlorine in water because it will leave a residue and definatly burn .

    Folia feeding and drench feeding can throw out the routine
    When drench/feeding normally.can quite easily burn the plant.
    Same with too many sprays of calmag.
