First up on this week's PotCast is a deep dive into foliar feeding, what is foliar feeding? What purpose does it serve? How do you do it? Find out all on this week's podcast.

Foliar spray is a popular method for growers to use to apply fertilizers to their plants in the event of a nutrient deficiency. By spraying your weed plants using the foliar method, you can act fast to prevent further damage to your plants. Furthermore, using a foliar spray is one of the most effective methods of applying insecticides and fungicides to your plants to cure or prevent any infestations.

Foliar feeding is relatively straightforward, however, before you start you need to figure out what the issue with your plant is, is it a deficiency? If so, which nutrient is your plant lacking? Or, perhaps you have mold, white powdery mildew or even fungus gnats - it is important you diagnose the problem before you act.

In the second part of this week's PotCast we will be looking at further methods that can be used to rid your grow space of pests and insects which can cause some real problems if left unchecked.

Whether you're growing Sativa or Indica, autoflower or photoperiod, you will need to trim the leaves on your plant. While leaves definitely serve a purpose to the cannabis plant, they can also cover potential budding sites and prevent them from receiving the optimum amount of light.

Trim and prune your marijuana plants correctly to maintain a nice, tidy and productive grow room!
