I usually do a pre flower spray of a si product to bring leaf ph up in general so It's even harder for pm to start anywhere. this has nothing to do with a def. it's a preventative.

I quit foliage feeding mine a few plants back and I’ve noticed healthier leaves.

That’s only a temporary fix.
What’s going on that made you feel like you need to foliar feed?

Just for the calmag but ill just probably wait until i flush to give it to them leaves are nice and green so i think i should be ok?

Well your plant looks fine. I wouldn’t change anything up.
I wouldn’t spray feed. You’ll end up chasing problems. Just my opinion.
Bend her over but don’t snap it.
If you haven’t topped.. I usually do it around day 14.. you’re not too far off..I’d say go for it.
All in all, whatever you got going on now, I wouldn’t change much of anything besides the suggestions given.

For a foliar spray to work efficiently you need a wetting agent. Otherwise you will just get beads. The stomata is the pores underneath the leaf, and epidermis is the top. Its best to use a wetting agent like Sticky and spray both sides of the leaf

+1 for that imo more problems are created with additives than solved, what I'm seeing/reading a lot of on Riu is people creating there own problems by using as many potions as possible.

My best crops come from coco+perlite, nutrient and a bit pk during flower nothing more.
Ps if you are going to foliar feed you should take @RonnieB2 advice, plants are waterproof by nature you need a wetting agent for it to work efficiently.

Im actually having great success with a heavy and heavy supplement routine. But the grow isn't done. However I haven't seen many plants at 3 weeks as big as mine. I do make sure to get a healthy run off from each feed. At least 1 liter from a 5 gallon felt container. I do foliar feed and root drench with Neptune's harvest 0-0-1. Leaves can absorb up to 8 time more than roots, per what Ive read. And i do have a control plant not getting foliar spray. Its around half the size of the others
