It depends on what solution you are using. Even Miracle Grow can clog
nozzles, unless you filter through a few layers of fine cheesecloth. But this
could affect strength of the solution if it filters too much out. Seaweed
solution should be no problem though. Sticking agents, I'm not sure. I am
guessing sticking agents would be finer grained than the other solutions you
would be using. Just a little bit of Ivory Snow dish (not dishwasher) soap
can act as a good sticking agent, too!
