earthjuice catalyst is nice as a foliar. just don't over do it. once a week is more than enough.

it is organic and anything with kelp should be ok during both veg and flower. i only spray my plants with regular lower dose npk nutrients if i see deficiencies.
personally, i don't like foliar feeding in bloom for the risk of mold. one way to combat that, is to spray at the onset of lights on... so the buds dry up before lights off. i can't be there all the time and will not risk it. some growers use seranade, although i don't like the smell.
foliar feeding is an art form by itself... it is common for outdoor organic farmers to drench their leaves with compost teas.

ok cool thanks.! the serenade smell is it the smell that it leaves on your buds you dont like or the actual smell from the bottle to feeding that you dont care for.?

the smell it leaves on the plant is not my cup of tea. i am sure you can rinse it... but if you have a large operation... it is not worth it.

i like to foliar feed in veg and perhaps until 2 weeks into flower... 3 weeks max. your foliar spraying should include fungicides and preventative mite treatments. there are a lot of nutrients and additives you can spray (most are kelp based with some b1 and low NPK values). i am testing canna boost and nature's diamonds on one plant until 1 week before harvest to see if the resin production increases. i have my doubts, so we shall see.

So whens the best time to Foliar .?? I've been researching and everyone says diff things... some people say during lights on is the best but then some people say no that that'll burn your plants... some people say the last 20 mins. before the lights turn off... and then some people say during lights off , and that's what some foliar feeds say to do... but when the lights are off don't the stomata's close up.??

its best to foliar right before lights on. if you do it while lights are on, you may want to raise or dim the lights. as far as what to spray:
diluted res mix or:
kelp
b1
humics
K.I.S.S

add a little dish soap as a wetting agent...

ok cool thanks TOOHIGHMF so as far as the mix for the kelp B1 and Humics should i use a variety of stuff? like Nirvana or liquid karma for the KELP, B-52 for B1, and H-2 for the Humics.?

nirvana or LK is your humics & fulvics or "bio catalyst". add some B1 like thrive alive, B-52 etc. then find a good kelp extract like technaflora sea weed, Nitrozyme, or my favorite B'cuzz Bloom.
