I was looking at a bottle of Fox Farm Grow Big and it says to use a 1/2 teaspoon to a gallon of water for foliar feeding.
I have a couple girls at day 43 and the look great other than some yellowing that seems to be setting in sooner than usual.
Basically, would it be safe to mix a 1/8 teaspoon of Grow Big into a 32oz spray bottle and use as a foliar?
 
You can also use house hold ammonia at 1tsp per gallon....as a foliar.
 
I never joke about canna bud, It hurts me to see hungry plants....:Sharing One:and this way if it's just nitro missing you can fix it with out loading it up on unneeded stuffs.
 
:thumbs: Ahh, I remember this tip from before,...interesting! I too have a single plant in a multipot that is stubbornly refusing to green up like the others, so I'll have a go with this! *** Team'- either way will be fine,... at day 43 she's fattening up her buds in earnest, so likely, any extras she gets will be fine ( conc. is pretty low for foliar),... just take pains to spray only the fans leaves, especially with the ammonia, since I don't know what effect it might have on the pistils, etc.,... do this during light hours, but don't place her back in the direct light, as this can potentially burn the surface, and it dries out too fast; set her aside to dry slowly, and allow the goodies in liquid suspension time to get in, and make sure she's dry by lights-out, with no liquid droplets stuck on the buds /stem bases... I also highly recommend using a water spreader/wetting agent when doing foliar; this stuff takes the surface tension out of the solution you're spraying, so it coats more evenly instead of beading up; the more surface area covered, the more gets absorbed.... *** It'll be tricky to do this on a budding plant, without hosing down the buds! try and spray at an angle away from the center, from the leaf base out to the tips, top, and even better, bottom surfaces too... feel free to carefully tip and maneuver her around to stay accurate! yeah, it's kind of a hassle, but nothing is faster at getting in than foliar spraying, and if ever there's trouble with the soil/roots/other media (pH, salt build-up, etc.,), this bypasses it and can help speed recovery,.... :wiz:
 
Ammonia wow,didn't know that one. that just sounds hardcore.LMAO!

I may have to give that a shot n freak out while I do it too.LOL!!I was foliar feeding earlier for a small def. and dunno if ya'll do this(prolly do already)but I cut a few pieces of construction paper to various sizes and pinch the top of the sun leaf n the paper as a backing then use a small finger sprayer pump.small single pump sprayer.helps control it really nice. wooow,I still cant get over that...Ammonia,daaang.
