So you do not think it would be no problem and would get the same effects just using the essential oils in your regular water schedule oppose to foliar feeding correct? Thanks Sweetums.
I've thought about this on and off since the discussion began, and I'll let Cajun have the final say, but he said either way. This is what Cajun does for a living, so I'm going to defer entirely to him.
My conversation with 36Gr0w suggests that foliar feeding might be preferred. Here's a link he shared with me that sheds some light on the response we're attempting to activate here.

That 36Gr0w is one intelligent cultivator. You might want to take up this conversation with him. My sense is that he's thinking more foliar than drench, but I haven't tied him down on that yet. If you do that, and he shares some of his profound wisdom with you, please come back and share that knowledge with us.
