FoliarFeed™
FoliarFeed™ is a concentrated foliar spray designed to deliver essential nutrients directly through plant leaves during periods when rapid support is needed. It’s built for growers who want to correct minor deficiencies, support recovery from stress, or supplement nutrition without disturbing the soil system.
By bypassing the root zone, FoliarFeed™ provides fast, efficient nutrient uptake during active growth, transplant shock, environmental stress, or high-demand phases. It is compatible with a wide range of plant types and growing environments, from gardens and containers to greenhouses and controlled systems.
FoliarFeed™ combines organic nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, and a complete micronutrient profile to support photosynthesis, enzyme function, and overall plant vitality. Each component is selected for foliar compatibility, ensuring nutrients remain available at the leaf surface without causing burn when used as directed.
To improve absorption and consistency, FoliarFeed™ includes a natural surfactant and pH adjustment, allowing nutrients to spread evenly across leaf surfaces and enter through stomata efficiently. The concentrate is designed for dilution, making it economical and easy to integrate into regular plant care routines.
FoliarFeed™ is not a replacement for healthy soil or proper feeding programs. It is a support tool—used to reinforce plant health when soil uptake is limited or when quick correction is needed.

FoliarFeed™ is a foliar nutrition supplement used to provide fast, targeted nutrient support directly through plant leaves. It’s designed for situations where plants need quick assistance or when root uptake from the soil is temporarily limited.
FoliarFeed™ is used to:
Correct minor nutrient deficiencies
Support plants during stress (heat, transplant shock, pest pressure, environmental swings)
Boost photosynthesis and leaf health during active growth
Supplement soil-based feeding programs without disturbing the root zone
It is not a replacement for healthy soil or regular feeding. Instead, FoliarFeed™ works alongside living and amended soils to reinforce plant health when rapid response is needed.
In the APSU Soil system, FoliarFeed™ is the leaf-level support tool—used sparingly and intentionally to keep plants functioning at their best.

FoliarFeed™ works by delivering nutrients directly through the leaf surface, bypassing the soil when root uptake is limited or delayed. Leaves absorb nutrients through stomata and the cuticle, allowing plants to respond more quickly than with soil-applied inputs alone.
This formulation combines readily absorbable nutrients with chelating agents and organic carriers that improve movement across the leaf surface and into plant tissue. Macronutrients support chlorophyll production and metabolism, while a complete micronutrient profile prevents common deficiencies that can limit growth and photosynthesis.
Natural surfactants improve spray coverage, ensuring nutrients spread evenly and remain available long enough for uptake. pH adjustment further increases absorption efficiency and reduces the risk of leaf stress or residue.
Because FoliarFeed™ is used as a supplement rather than a primary feeding method, it supports plant health without disrupting soil biology. When applied correctly, it provides fast, targeted support during active growth, stress recovery, or periods of increased demand.
Usage Rates:
Dilution Rate
½ cup (4 oz) concentrate per 1 gallon of water
Application Guidelines
Timing
Apply during early morning or late evening when stomata are open. Avoid spraying during high heat or direct sunlight.
Frequency
General support: every 7–10 days
Stress recovery or deficiency support: every 5–7 days as needed
Method
Apply as a fine mist to both the top and underside of leaves. Do not oversaturate—coverage matters more than runoff.
Growth Stage Notes
Vegetative Growth: Standard dilution and schedule
Flowering / Fruiting: Maintain dilution; apply only as needed to avoid excess foliar residue
Storage
Store concentrate in a cool, dark place
Use diluted solution within 24 hours
FoliarFeed™ is formulated to deliver targeted nutrition directly through plant leaves during active growth and periods of stress. It is composed of readily absorbable nutrients, trace minerals, and organic carriers selected to support photosynthesis, metabolic function, and overall plant vitality without disrupting soil biology. The formula is designed to supplement soil-based nutrition, not replace it.
Because FoliarFeed™ is absorbed through the leaf surface, nutrients become available quickly when plants need immediate support. Chelated minerals, natural surfactants, and pH-balanced carriers improve uptake efficiency and distribution across leaf tissue. When used as part of a balanced plant care routine, FoliarFeed™ supports consistent growth, healthy foliage, and rapid recovery without relying solely on root uptake.
