What are you looking to spray? I assume you aren't talking about pests.
I spray kelp and epsom and that is it. Water works well too.

Kelp extract and water once a week in Veg would be my recommendation. Epsom if you need it.

Kelp extract (i use Nitrozime but there are many others)...fulvic acid (BioAg Fulpower is about the best and most pure - make sure its fulvic. Golden yellow...the best) and yucca as a sticker. These three every 5 to 7 days in veg. The best additive u will ever use. I practically guarantee it. If you want ...add a plant or fish protein hydrolysate (amino acid).

Thanks 91 how do you apply these in the order you listed or do you combine the 3 then hit with the Amino acid

Combine all of them according to label instructions with decent tap water. Once a week in veg and early flower. Thats it.

Sounds like kelp4lesd has all that you listed (extreme blend) and it claims its their best product

BioAG Ful-Power FTW. I'll never grow without it.
The other suggestions are spot on too. Kelp and Epsom.
I have some left-over bottles of Roots Organics Extreme Serene, Surge, and Ancient Amber I use for occasional foliar feeds. They're all very decent products but the Extreme Serene is the only one I'd purchase again...and only if I couldn't find something comparable.
But BioAG has some good products. I'd def. start there.

Yup. BioAg has been around the straight crop scene for decades. Recently got into our industry. They know how to process and make pure fulvic the right way. Leonardite is good (especially for humic acid) but ideally and for hydroponics and foliar sprays you want fulvic. And golden yellow means pure. Extracted from peat using a long fermentation process. No pH rise. No EC or jump in ppm wonkiness. BioAg FulPower is what you want. RAW Ful Up is another decent fulvic...in a dry powder but BioAg is king for fulvic acid. Bar none.

Actually BioAg has some other products ideally suited for foliar sprays and reservoir solution additives if you dont want to spend on the pricey Nitrozime made by HDI and Growth Tech. Many kelp extracts on the shelf. They all work. I just like and know Nitrozime. Been using it for my go to kelp foliar for years.

If the plants is getting an optimum balanced diet from a perfectly diluted base feed then foliar will be of no real world value, some will burn the plant even, when it is best is when a deficiency incurs and you can basically inject the plant with a remedy solution.

i've been using it on this grow. a few foliar sprays in veg and stretch but always in my res. also switched from RO to well because of the ful power. read fulvics are better for well water while humics are better for RO water.

Really humic acid is best reserved for the root zone...especially in real mediums and substrates like peat mixes and coco coir. Fulvic acid because of its molecular weight is the "fine" stuff that settles to the top of a Leonardite based acid if left undisturbed for some time. Golden yellow in appearance. This is best mixed with a kelp extract and used as a foliar. An excellent micronutrient chelator especially iron. Hence why youve heard its best used for harder well water with all the minerals in it. You can take a 0.5 or 0.6 even 0.7 EC well water thats loaded with calcium..magnesium..and iron and add fulvic and amino acids (glycine or glycinate) and basically make this a very effective "calmag". Ready to be shuttled into the rhizoshpere.

i contacted bio ag and asked if i could use the ful power with chlorine as i used to use it for a sterile res. they said no because it produces a nasty gas (dont' remember which one) so i had to stop the chlorine. but as we chatted about other shit, i asked about the well vs RO and that's what they told me: fulvic for well, humic for RO.
that kelp and fulvic sounds like a great foliar. will give that a go next run for sure. thanks for the tip!

You bet. Add a yucca saponin (natural soap) to the mix as well. Makes the leaves"absorb" the spray instead of forming little droplets and rolling off. Besides this...yucca has a bunch of other benefits. Lots of cats dont know alot about our desert soap...yucca. Its great in the root zone as well. And its in alot of the so called "flushing" products. Try it.

I call them " the big 5". The biostimulants that are added to a full profile base nutrient or on thier own as a foliar and in other ways. Silica..Kelp..Plant Protein Hydrolysate (Aminos)..Yucca.. and Humic/Fulvic acid. In soilless mixes like peat and coco coir...i dont grow without them.
