Wondering how many growers are using foliage feeding during veg and can you recommend how strong of a nutrient mixture I should use?

It depends. I only feed foliar 3 types of lets say nutrients. Kelp, silica and fishmix. 1/5 to 1/3 of normal feeding amount. I would use normal like grow nutrients or calmag if some deficiencies would show up. But with kelp, silica(i found it even better as foliar because normally its changing ph too much) and fish mix you cant go wrong during veg..

Hey man I always have found it useful especially to keep them looking moist and green throughout veg. And seedling stage too! I got a bottle of plant magic evolution as a gift so I'm using that at the moment once a week when lights are off. Put you can do a very light grow feed or just weak molasses water. Or epsom salt water if you think its a calcium problem 🌱👍

Wow, i was wrong..hate to admit it. I was of the mind like Spyder7 https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/403/2015/03/foliar-feeding.pdf This really covers it. It's not a clear yes or no, but it is worth the investigation for sure. I doubt there is a consensus for something like marijuana which is so restricted.

Hey man. I go back and forth between aloe Vera, compost tea and lactobacillus. Only at night for the first 15 minutes lights are out. Once flowers start I stop.

Why would you foliage feed during veg? That's counter-productive since you want the plant to extend its roots in veg through wet/dry cycles. Foliar feeding is to rapidly address a nute deficiency.
