Mr. CatNaps First Grow >^.^<
Welcome Sleven, Hope I can produce some beauties for ya!
I have had troubles with foliar feeding, but that is because of how they interact with the plant. The plant is bombarded with the water, if you have your temps right, the plants just suck it up. This can be both good and bad. On these ladies when I first started foliar feeding, I was just doing w.e and that was not the right thing to do. Without a good surfactant you will have spots on your leaves, burns from droplets, bad coverage. Even with a great mister, if you don't use a surfactant, the water will pool on the leaves. Some things act naturally as a surfactant SM90 does, most people use very very cheap dish soap. I have found Emerald Harvest CalMg works well as a surfactant also.
Now I only foliar feed when I have issues, which is still fairly frequent. I will give them a spray with low N and PH today which I did yesterday also, due to the bottom yellowing and bruising. The newly transplanted clones use the foliar spray so quickly. I transplanted them, stems went from green to purple, had N leaf curl and slight yellowing. Spray them with CalMg and Seaweed, with light nute. Bam green stems are back within 10 hours, leaves are slower to recover. Foliar feeding is just intensive, so getting it right is important.
Sorry if there were any errors, typed this one pretty quickly!

I am a friendly new grower, looking to sustain myself after 8 years of medicating. Cannabis helped me transition off harmful stimulants and turn my ADHD into something manageable :3. Now I spend my time happily gaming, programming, and caring for my ladies in sunny California. I love to talk, feel free to say hi!
