Having the dryest season in 9 years .the natural spring I was using has finally stop flowing after 12 years. Quarter of my plants are losing leaves rapidly from the bottom upwards. Will havt to start using farmers dams. Leaves are yellowing with brown spots then falling off. Wat's the best folar feed fertilizer you know of or has worked best for you.?
Maxicrop is a very good foliar fert I've found it more effective than seasol but if possible you should try adding some fulvic acid to either of them when you spray. I add neem oil,maxicrop,NTS fast fulvic and NTS liquid fish and aloe water as a foliar every 5 days or so

Only thing I foliar is aloe, cut the meat out of about an inch of leaf, toss in blender with enough water to fill your spray bottle and blend the fuck out of it, then spray, at dawn or dusk, make sure you get the underside of leaves.
Heard u guys talk bout that before ...whats the main benefit insects or just general health ?

Might give that a go, you ever tried making a fermented aloe extract ?
nah Im one of those guys which likes to kiss (keep it simple stupid). I was into making teas a few years ago, but if you have a good soil mix you dont need all that shit. Really if you have a good compost, and good earthworm castings in your mix thats all you need imo. I only feed with water, water+aloe, water+coconut water, water+us bs molasses; occasionally I toss in some blue npk+ pellets and water them in, but thats it

I like the neem oil as a preventive,I've got a heap of grass around my plants so have heaps of leaf eating bugs it just minimises the amount of damage they do. You can correct some deficiencies really quickly by foliar feeding and they just seem to love a good spray especially when there's been fuck all rain

Neem cake makes a really good top dress think it's like 4-4-2 NPK and works as a systemic pesticide
Yep i only got it for pests as i had problems with white flies last year i mixed in about 2 kilos with around 400litres of soil ..not to heavy but enough at half kilo per 100 litres
I didnt take into account its nutritional value when making the soil so thats a bonus as well

Cheers for the info.will try a few different ones to see which works best with my strains.
