I have bio-bloom nutrients and Im wondering if I can add them to the water I use to mist my plants or is it pointless and wont do anything?

I use 1/4 solution to mist my veggie garden plants, I do not mist my flowering plants.

You could even try 1/2 ml to start. I foliar feed my girls in veg and they seem to like it, make sure you get the underside of the leaves as well. Nice to see another Man u fan! Getting excited for the start of the season or what?

I don't feed that way but you could. I would make sure it is mild though so you don't burn your plants by applying to strong a mix to their foilage directly..

Children, plants take in almost all of their nutrients through their root system, not leaves.

foliar feeding is for quick fixes to problems not long term use, the leaves will get a buildup and no longer do what they are intended to do.

Naw, for my plants they like it and I get better growth, hardly a quick fix but a nice tool in gardening.

Also when you mist, let them dry before exposing them to HID lighting, it can burn the leaves
