During the vegetative growth period I run my light 24 hours a day. Directions for use for the Thrive Alive foilar spray are to only use it when the lights are off. Given I do not want to change my lighting regime would I be better off not using the TA spray at all or use TA spray with the light on?

Thanks 8)

In our opinion, you would be better off running your lights for 18 hours eah day and making use of a foliar spray as well.
What is the benefit of running your lights 24 hours each day?
All plants require a photosynthetic period of darkness during which energy absorbed during the day is best converted into sugars.
Thanks for your question

I've found that a 24 hour light regime during vegatative growth produces larger plants in a shorter amount of time. Should I stop foliar feeding?

We do not recommend foliar feeding while plants are exposed to light. This is the case to avoid rapid evaporation of water leaving behind a concentrated dose of nutrient that can burn your plants.

I've been growing indoors in soil for over 10 years but am new to hydroponics. I was trying to change as few things as possible since I am already a little out of my comfort zone.

BTW the recipe for success is awesome! I love your products. I was using FoxFarm products but managing the PH was a constant struggle, it was all over the place. Since I have switched to the recipe for success my days of constantly managing the PH are over:) Your PH balanced products rock!

Thanks again 8)
