IMHO i would let the plant get a bit bigger before you start bombarding it with nutes! Just use distilled water to be safe.....you burn it....it could be over.....ya know!

i agree yo should definitely wait till its bigger b4 you foliar feed with nutes, but plain water foliar sprays wont hurt it.

I foliar feed and I would say that you should be able to introduce nutes to the leaves about the same time you introduce it to the roots.

ya wait till you have at least four fully developed leaves, or at least thats what i do, then I introduce nutes very slowly as the plant grows. MJ can handle a lot of nutes but only if she is built up to it, the bigger the plant the more you can use too.....when you first mix, do a 1/4 of the recommended dosage, then as the plant goes you can work it up to full and even go over if you gots the loot. Some ferts are designed for MJ growing and so then you would pretty much follow their regiment.

It won't hurt the plants because they won't take in anymore than they need, not if you're foliar feeding. The only thing you have to worry about, is underestimating it's effectiveness, then giving it too much fert in the soil, causing fert burn. Foliar feeding is claimed to be 8-10x more efficient than root uptake, of nutrients, which would make it pretty easy to sustain a vegging plant, on foliar alone.

I'd like to do an experiment someday, and try feeding a plant with nothing but foliar feed. It'd be cool to see what kind of results you would get, discovering if you could sustain them til harvest(and healthy). Hmmm.....

I Use Canna A & B http://www.canna-uk.com/coco_a_b along with Rhizotonic http://www.canna-uk.com/rhizotonic Growing in Coco , So far i only ever mist my plants with PH ballenced water and i have been wondering about maybe adding some Rhizotonic to the mix to spray .

Anyone using the same system ?...do you use just Rhizo ... or allso the A & B ? ... My plants are about 5 weeks in veg atm and doing really well ... But if an advantage is to be gained by feeding the foliar i would like to know about it :)

Thanks :)
