spray leaves right away when light turns off to avoid burn and also you have like 20min before pores will be closed. im spraying my plants every single day in veg, leaves will become thick and juicy. also foliar spray delivers nutrients much faster than feeding from soil. so if your plants have some deficiency,better if you foliar spray for fast nutrient uptake. im spraying my plants no matter is it healthy or not.Newbie here and read a couple of people mention that you should never spray foliar on a healthy plant. I have a Cal Mag and Armor Si mix that I just started spraying on my young plants. I thought I read that this will help them get stronger and help them fight off pests and other issues.
Thank you!
ThsIts if there in light, you will burn them.

Sorry man avoiding organic threads but I would say if you are having trouble with soil pH then foliar is a good option as there can clearly be an issue with nutrient uptake at that ph.Thank you.
backstory: From what I have reading is that my Ph levels are too high. The pH level of the soil is at almost 8. I got ph down and it watered the plants on Saturday. I’m using the soil/light/ph meter and there is no real improvement on the ph level.
The plants are well watered and don’t want to overwater them so I thought spraying them would help. Especially with the leaves having some issues.
So the big question is how can I get the ph level down without overwatering the plants.
I just transplanted them on Monday, May 11. They are autos and outside.
Thoughts and thanks!
Foliar spraying is a bandaid to fix nutrient issues, the soil should have everything a plant needs. If you have good soil (or hydro solution) then foliars aren't really necessary. Spraying can even take beneficial bugs and blast them off of your plants so time your sprays and IPM applications accordingly. Also, spray in the morning about an hour before the lights come on, if you spray after lights go out then your plants sit wet in a cool and humid room all night, a great recipe for powdery mildew. You should also check if what you are spraying as a nutrient is even translaminar in the first place, otherwise you are just getting your leaves wet.

Maybe transplant to better soil rather then kill yourself trying to adjust it
Test the soil pH with a slurry test before using it so you don't have this issue again.Thanks. I might do that. Just concerned about all the talk of traumatizing the plant by transplanting too much. if I do it again it will be the third time for them.
Don't Use a Foliar Spray When Your Lights Are On

My view is a short duration of stress vs the full grow duration of stress trying to change it.
Lower light intensity and up humidity for the transplant to ease stress. A few days is sufficient then bump it back up. Light drives growth and demand on the root system so in times of stress that's what you should be doing. They recover much faster.
