I am wondering if anyone has used Chitosan in flower phase to boost overall trichome development? if yes do you foliar spray week 3 / 5 or just root drench? any negtaive effects on taste when using as foliar?
Yeah, some growers do use chitosan during the flowering phase to boost trichome production.
Application:
Foliar spray: Weeks 3–5 is common.
Root drench: Can be used throughout flower.
Taste impact: No noticeable negative effects on flavor when sprayed early in flower and used at proper dosage.
Just avoid spraying too late in bloom to prevent residue on buds.
The stuff I used was spay only before flip to flower then root application once flipped. I would not be spraying anything on any buds regardless of its product claims of safety. Canna industry is sketchy at best.
