Excess rain - fertilizing question

I'm in the midwest and I have a small outdoor crop of 4 plants. They are varying age and range from 10 inches to 2.5 feet tall. It rains frequently and quite a bit about once a week and this soaks the pots good with rain. Then they get about a week of sun 65-75 degree weather usaully which drys the pot out to where I find ideal to water again. So the watering is good.

My question is because they are already getting so much water, and I have fox farm grow big liquid fert. What should I do to give them fertilizer, I do not want to add any more water than they are already getting

Could I foliar feed? I know its not the most desireable thing but would it be better than nothing?

I know I could buy a fertilizer to add to soil but I would prefer not to as I spent a great deal already on ferts and soil and pots and neem oil etc.

Feedback is appreciated

there should be fertilizers that you put on the bottom of a plant. they look like little blueballs.
honestly i have never tried this before, so you should ask the guy at the store if its non-toxic to humans.
