Some of my nutes say to avoid flowers during foliar feeding. This is easier said than done. If Im spraying it pretty much goes everywhere. My grow room is pretty dry so I dont think itl be a problem but I just was wondering what the deal is. Should I avoid foliar feeding during flower, or just lightly do it? At the moment Im doing it during lights on to make sure it evaporates completely.

Thanks for the info

never foilar feed when flowering it leads to bud rot and especially with the light on as this will cause the smallest droplets of water to give a mirroring effect and and cause mouldy buds.
LUDA.
 
As long as your circulation and humidity levels are good in your grow room and the buds aren't too swolen, I don't think that foliar feeding could hurt the plants. Each strain reacts differently, however, so experience is the only way to be sure. After resin production starts, you will want to be careful not to spray too hard and knock off resin heads (a fine mist will work best anyways).

It's not a good idea to mist your plants or foliar feed during flowering. Foliar feeding should only be done in order to quickly correct a deficiency IMO. Even with low humidity you shouldn't be spraying shit on the buds you will eventually be smoking and I seriously doubt it can be done in such a way as to avoid spraying the buds.
 
No problem luda, I wouldn't chance mold either. imagine, all that work & bud wasted..
It would be a shame
