Foiler Feeding?

churchhaze said:

What's with all these new posters making posts like this? It's as if he's a long time regular here.

Dude, if you have 75 posts, chances are you are the troll.

A silly, but heated debate? Welcome to RIU!! Lurk.

What is with people who have 1,500+ posts thinking that they are smarter and more intelligent than anyone else?
They also happen to assume everything and never base it off facts.

What kind of logic is that? Should I get 1400+ posts like you so I can call myself a true MJ grower? Posts mean shit brother, but according to you? Heh
Maybe we should all be asking everything you know about growing since you're so knowledgeable all mighty MJ grower.

You sir, are the troll.
I had a legitimate question, we had a legitimate discussion, and I wanted to know if he was in it for the sake of a heated debate, or for the sake of information like me?
What's not to get?


This is what is wrong with RIU, people like you, that assume everything, and ask nothing.
That don't help, but like to bash people who want help.
Who tell stories or give information, that they provide no source for, or have no personal experience on.

I won't say much, but how do you not know I'm a regular on here? How do you not know this is my 1000th account and I make a new one for every grow?
Keep your bullshit to yourself please.

I love a good debate but things do tend to get a tad ugly here. I wish I had the time and space, and a partner that wasn't a pot hound. Then I could do a few experiments to see if things actually improve growth. Now I'm stuck getting it done as fast as possible before I run out lol. So anywho foiler feeding it does seem to be beneficial as this run has so far been the nicest looking health wise. No leaf spotting and great growth but tomorrow they could all be dead lol.

I've been following these forums since the days of overgrow. I learned to grow before OG existed. Sorry if I think I know a few things about cannabis.

That type of question is condescending. Why would you ask it to someone who clearly disagrees with you? Why would he just be arguing for "silly" reasons?

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I'm not here to learn how to grow.

Are you a regular on here? Is this a smurf account? Why would I assume that?

You want me to keep my bullshit to myself, but if you're going to put up a thread on foliar feeding, expect to hear everyone's opinion on the matter. I don't foliar feed. It raises humidity and in general is unnecessary to keep the plant well nourished.

Well said, I'm glad I didn't think too much of you when you first posted that nonsense.
Seems what I assumed was true at least.

As I was saying.....lol.

Seems you added a lot more since I responded.
I didn't ask a condescending question, he was curious in the exact same thing I was, but the way I read his comments it was almost like sarcasm, that is why I asked.
I didn't say you were here to learn, most people aren't, I mean people that are so knowledgeable on the subject, but instead of giving a detailed response they say something like "Foliar feeding lol, noobs"
Instead of telling people the reason for such claims.

As for the last thing you typed, that is all you had to say. Your opinion on foliar feeding is fine, that is exactly what most people want it to do though, raise humidity in veg. I know in my area my humidity is almost always below 16% (Meter stops reading) so I need the extra humidity especially with seedlings that have a tough time getting the shell off. It is unnecessary to keep the plant healthy, but personally I don't do it cause its necessary, I do it because it can help a little.

If not to learn I have to ask why are you guys here? Not trying to be smart but what else is there? The lively debate perhaps lol. I know there's a lot of info that is, well, suspect but there is lots of good ideals and support. And where does some one go to learn other than these forums. Now back to foiler feeding lol. The effort and time involved, in my case anyways, even without "proof" of benefit. Seems to have helped my plants. And it will become part of my regular plant maintenance.

This website has a ton of different threads so not everyone is here for learning.
Some can be here to Learn, Teach, Showing their grow journal, Make friends who have similar passions, Sharing photos of your beautiful marijuana among other things.

As for foliar feeding..
I would stop the misting after week 3 of flower though, just to avoid any molding or bud rot. Once it starts, it's a bitch to control.

I come here to be part of this great community of RIU.org.
I come to be with similar people come to hang out and talk about the thing we all love so much.
I come to post in my journal and show people my plants. I can not tell anyone in my real life about them, so I do my blabbing here.
I come to be helpful and assist new growers in some basic cultivation tips.
I come to read up about the newest innovations, the helpful ideas, the news about this hobby that I cannot find in my average newspaper.
I come for the amusement and entertainment of the threads, have you seen some of these hilarious topics?
I come for many reasons, one of which is to see if foliar feeding has a significant result.
I will continue to keep my eye out for that, and if someone proves that it worth the effort for me to do so, I will incorporate it into my grow.

I hate there isn't a like button, instead now I have to type this.

I understand the camaraderie and all that. I was just kind of taken aback by the "I dont come here to learn" is all. I like to show off my plants as well but not this run, they started out as a bit of a disappointment lol. They have bounced back though and have started to bud nicely at I believe 24 days at 12, with a nice frosting of trichomes starting. Actually one of the foiler feeds I have been using supposedly inhibits molds. The guy that develops my nutes is a chemist so I do trust what he sells. But yes i plan on stopping all foiler apps. at around 30 days before harvest.

^^^ what is up with all this?

If anyone has seen jackmayoffer threads. he's one of the best growers I've seen on the internett and he foliar feeds religiously. I only spray caps bennies for a preventative but I've had a h16 sample foliar I've been thinking of using. I think foliar feeding can def increase health which can increase yield if ur environment is dialed in.

Not sure.

I think I just read that he uses a foliar spray that actually is made to prevent mold.

I wasnt referring to waterdawgs post, there was 3 or 4 posts by someone in a row, with some weird name in a clicky link. I didn't click on it, but I see the posts are gone, now.
.... Maybe that was the source of the site being marked as malware.

Ah very good observation and theory. I actually saw those links as well, hovered over to see the destination host and it was a bad host site so I didn't click on it (Not that I would have anyway) Maybe that was the source, although they have those spams at least once a day, so it will continue to be the source if it is.

Foliar makes more sense on a larger scale. Using an atomizer outdoors in the morning in between regular feedings is a great way to feed your plants.

Foliar application is not limited to feeding. You can apply everything for mold and pests or calcium is good and will also increase CO2 intake.

Not for nothing but more than half of the products I check out have foliar application directions, so it can't be too bad of an idea.

This is the description as per manufacturer.........
"Pure Flowers 0-30-20 liquid was scientifically formulated with cutting edge phosphite technology. Pure Flowers 0-30-20 has the highest nutrient levels ever achieved in a completely solubilized liquid. The unique molecular structure of a phosphite is easily absorbed through the roots and leafs ensuring the crop instantly uptakes potassium and phosphorus. The ultimate flowering supplement will maximize your crop's yield and boost the crop's immune system. The immune system will then be able to better resist powdery mildew, brown rot and other harmful fungi. While protecting, it also accelerates flower development and increases yields. Developed for hydroponics and soilless gardening, Pure Flowers 0-30-20 is super concentrated at 1 teaspoon for 5 gallons."
I probably am putting to much faith in what these guys say but they are local and the product is relatively cheap compared to name brands.

Contrary to alot of what people believe about growing marijuana, plants need to be regulaly sprayed and/or misted. Plants do and will feed off of nutrients supplied to their leaves with a nutrient solution mixture

Foliar feeding seems to be one of the easiest ways of increasing yield, growth speed, and quality in a well vented space, with or without elevated CO2 levels. Just prepare a tea of worm castings, fish emulsion, bat guano, or most any other plant food right for the job and feed in vegetative and early flowering stages
