Spraying cannabis during flower cycle
The answer
From the KNF library
The library says to foliar spray straight through flowering, matching the formula to the plant's stage on the KNF growth-cycle chart. (Office Hours Ep. 16, 58:51)
For WSC, Cho's recipe book calls it WCA, water-soluble calcium. (Cho, Recipe, p. 69) Spray WCA on the leaves several times once the fruits are large. (Cho, Recipe, p. 62) The basic dilution is 1/1,000. (Cho, Recipe, p. 62)
FPJ needs more care. Cho says to dilute well-ripened FPJ to less than 1/2,000 during reproductive growth. (Cho, Recipe, p. 43) The sugar in FPJ works as a spreader and leaves spots on the fruit. (Cho, Recipe, p. 43) Cho also says not to use FPJ when fungal disease shows and ventilation is poor. (Cho, Recipe, p. 43)
These passages speak of fruit in general. The library says nothing about cannabis buds specifically or about lab testing. Drake's accepted answer covers testing.
