Go to youtube and search Sywire, he has some different videos on fog use. www.sywire.com

Troll alert...And yes there is plenty of data to support foliar feeding dating back to the 1950s.

Without reading what context that remark was made, I'd say that doesn't speak well for our educational system today. There are many studies showing the effectiveness of foliar feeding available for your reading, just google foliar feeding studies.Now there are certainly times when it is a waste of time, when the conditions aren't right for the stoma to be open. The stoma is where the plant absorbs water and nutes directly into the leaf. When the stoma is closed it doesn't accept a transfer from the outside.Hope this helps some.
Troll alert? For asking a question?

LOL T James........ don't sweat it dude, I've had the same thing happen to me many times, it's usually when someone don't like your responds to something, like what I'm writing now, just laugh and move on. so much GREAT info from people on this, and other sites, thanks helpers

It doesn't make you a troll but to simply answer your question your question. Yes foliar feeding will help your plant. That sandwich skin dudes wrong.
And @ op
My customer bought one and he said it raised his humidity by 8 in 2 minutes in his 20 x 30 area
Their also called atomizer sprayers

That grad student is a fucking RETARD then, if he knew anything about plants he wouldn't have made that statement and this thread wasn't posted to see if I think that foliar feeding works BECAUSE I HAVE DONE IT FOR YEARS AND KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT DOES!!

Well I have degrees from both U of M and MSU. Both institutions are leaders in agricultural education and I can assure you if a Professor is teaching such BS at either he/she will have a short career with them.....

Did they say how long the humidity stayed up, cause I'm thinkin if you fed then after the plants had a chance to dry off then you could turn your dehumidifier on. I'm just wondering with this method if the plant could absorb the nutrients better since the water particles would be so tiny (sorry don't know the exact scientific terms) Ive seen foggers that are used for growing but they go in a rez right?

SO TRUE, I tried givin you a "like" on that post but it wouldn't let me.. Some of the shit people say just makes me laugh, you almost can't get mad because you know that these people have no clue on what their talking about. I'm not saying I know everything but over the past 10 years of doing this as a full time job I have learned a thing or 2
Troll here... Might anyone have independent lab data that shows side by side yield results? There seem to be as many articles supporting it as opposing it. My perspective is that unless there's a soil deficiency, I (offhand) question the improvement foliar brings. It would be interesting to see a study looking at plants in a fantastic soil / root environment subjected to foliar treatments and measuring improvement. It's easy to "see improvements" as a grower, but such things don't necessarily translate to fact. Like audiophiles swooning over $1000 speaker cables. They are experts, sure, but when the cables are tested in double blind tests... the experts can detct no difference. Not at all saying this is the case with foliar.
