Supplemental Foilage Feeding?

I have been using 'Bud Candy' for my regular neut now that I am in the Bud phase:roll: but I do have some Tiger Bloom and was just wondering if I should supplemental foliage feeding with the TB. It calls for 1/2 Tea spoon per gallon so I figured I would use 1/2 of that in a spray bottle (after of course measuring the bottle out of a gallon) but am not sure if it is even a good idea as it may be over-feeding since I am already using the TB every 4 days or so when I water?

Spraying the plants helps keep root growth down. The more they absorb through the foliage, the less they reach out roots for. Foliar feeding is usually done at about 1/4 normal fertilizer strength. Just like normal fertilizations, foliar feeds should be alternated with plain water. There can be problems foliar feeding in late flowering, as the solution can bunch up in the bud crevices and burn in little spots. The foliar feed strength should be almost cut in half when spraying flowers, or just avoided entirely. It should be stopped awhile before harvest, giving time for a few plain water sprays to clean the buds off.

Maxicrop soluble seaweed powder (1-0-4) works well as a foliar feed.
