Kool Bloom via foliar feed???

Due to being at 35 day flower, and very low soil ph. My run off is still at the highest 4.7 with a 7.2 water feed.

My soil is prohibiting P & k uptake and some are showing hard P def.

I feed some kool bloom at 100ppm, i can only think it is being uptaked fro the first day or so, then is overtaken by low soil ph as the water dries more and more.

It seems my flower production should be abit higher at this point. IMO

So the question is, have you foliar feed PK 13/14 or a kool bloom in case of low soil ph. or just as a foliar feed. If so waht strengths. 100ppm is equal to half the recomended dose on the label..

Im thinking 1/4 - 1/3 strength.

Thank you all and B-safe

knowing your ph is so off......might be best to deal with it fast OR your bud production will be less than spectacular...... ask some dolomite lime users how to raise the ph without over stressing the plants....Bud size is determined in week 3-5 so any defs will be felt .......

Don't foliar feed. Apply 1 1/5-2 teaspoons dolomite lime per gallon of soil mix to the surface of the pot. Water in. In the future, keep better track of what your soil mix ph is doing.

In anycase i should have said this earlier. I already put 6 tsps, or 2 tablespoons of dolo lime arround the base 2 weeks ago. Did absolutely nothing. My lime is like powder too. so it should be faster acting from what ive read. But didnt even make a slight differnce. So at this point adding lime is probably to late for any immediate lime neutralizing effects.

As for keeping track of the lime, i totally forgot to add lime to my soil. But it too late for these anyways.

Vangrow: knowing or people who say about dont foliar feed is a bunch of horse shit IMO.

I believe since time is of the essence, foliar is probably the only LOGICAL way to go at this point.

just seeing if others have done it with a pk 13/14 or or kool bloom and there results or opinions on the results.

Blackvelvet: Wow, im impressed, your first answer wasnt feed them more. LMAO

How about instead of foliar feeding a PK booster you foliar feed with something like Pureblend Pro Bloom Soil formula. Foliaring with a more balanced fert would probably be better. I think you run the risk of really burning em if you foliar with PK13/14 or something like that.
