Anyone use seasol to any success?

I've foliar sprayed it on my indoors DWC grow. The plants looked happier the following day. I'm going to test it weekly. Perhaps a good, cheap way to get larger, better tasting yeils from healthier plants?

Ill have to give it a shot then..do u do this before lights off or is ok while there on?

I've been spraying it about 2 mins before the lights come on. I've heard you can burn the plants if the lights are cranking. Apparently, the water bubbles on the leaf act as a prism.

I've been spraying at 4mL/L. Let us know how you go!

I use 3 Seasol products....Seasol, CLC Earthcare and The fish one.

For outdoors feed very early mornings or late afternoons. Indoors feed when lights are off.

I have used Seasol in conjunction with Charlie Carp Organic and Neutrog's GO-GO Juice and all I can say is frigging
Stand back and watch your plants roost

I've read a lot of conflicting information about indoors foliar feeding. I don't think it is practised very often. At the end of the day, I would say it comes down to your preferences as a grower and the strain your working with.

I've read about people who only foliar during veg and the first two weeks of flower. I read one grower say you can foliar in flower until the ovaries are 1/4 inch in size. Cannabis strains tend to have varied flower growth i.e. sativas long flower time, indicas short flower time. So you could probably foliar a sativa a little longer in flower.

From what I've read, ventilation is extremely important. Put an osculating fan on the plants and make sure the ventilation is sufficient.

I'm spraying just before the lights turn on. This is because the grow room's dark period is during the day. I have to enter the grow room from out doors, which lets light in when I do. So, to minimise interuption to my dark period I spray just before the lights comes on.

I'm curious about foliar applications as I run a DWC system and have had troubles with pythium (root rot). To safe guard against pythium, I run Pythoff' (0.1% Chlorine additive) in the tank. However, this means I can't run organic products in the res. So, I thought.. why not spray them on?

This is the first time I've done this, so I'm experimenting with what works and what doesn’t. I'll post some updates with how it goes

outdoor Sativa I use foliar in conjunction with root application. these are doses of NutriTech's Organic "Boost" and "Bloom" alternate weeks from beginning of flower. I discontinue foliar when flowers get nuggety ... not for any specific reason ... just a sense it's not right to wet them.

I think while foliar is a good way to add to what's already in the soil, foliar shouldn't be used for the main feed.

there was a post not too long ago where a plant had been fed solely by foliar. needless to say the grower ran into trouble. his plant was DARK green with shiny leaves (I took the shinyness to mean the plant had had enuf of being fed thru the leaves and so had modified itself to shed the foliar rather than absorb it) and the soil in the drip zone had gone salty thus pH imbalance.

so there ya go. that's my two bob's worth of experience.

i veg indoors and flower outdoors and i foliar in both environments (weekly indoors and fortnightly out). indoors you must have good ventilation and i generally spray just after the lights have gone out. outdoors i spray up till about week 6 in flower cutting back on the fish emulsion as i go to reduce the amount of N available to the plant.

applying foliar nutes/additives is a part of holistic plant health and is a great way make plants really shine.
