Just wondering about my outside plants. I watered and fed them last Saturday and wanted to feed them again today but due to rain the pots are still really wet. Should I feed them anyways or wait for the pots to dry? We do have more rain coming so it could be a while. They are about 2 months into flowering by the way. Thanks for the help.

You can foliar feed to get them nutrients without further wetting the root zone.

You might consider covering the tops of the pots with something to prevent the plants from getting to much rain in them. That way when it comes time to feed you can do so as normal.

I foliar feed at 1/4 tsp to 1 32oz water with a 5-7 drops of soap so the spray doesn’t bead up and run off. I apply it in the morning and evening for 2-3 days

Sorry for all the questions but when I spray the plants do I do it all over or like just the fan leaves? Do I soak them or just spray light?

I would just let the rains pass...if it is an extended period, then by all means, cover or move to cover...they look easily managed.

I spray till they’re dripping. After the 3-4th week of flower you should avoid spraying the buds

They have been flowering for about 2 months now....the buds go up and down them so I'm not going to be able spray much but the fan leaves.

Be sure to use a wetting agent or some kind of soap or most will run back off, a detergent/wetting agent completely soaks the leafs.

Personally I'm not a big fan of foliar in flower for the obvious.

I think the idea of covering the media during long rainy days is what id do, but im inside , id also think if they are large enough they can go without a few feedings and rely on lowers if truly starved, but by then you'd get a chance
