is it fine to mist your plants at the end of your lighting shift

I do it then, but I don't mist when flowering.. I don't want to risk mold on the buds.......

Misting helps a plant. Keeps bugs off them and dust. I wouldn't do it while the plant was budding though...

I can't see them... I'm using Canna nutes. 3-1-3 for veg 2-2-4 flower. general hydroponics is popular... its an availability thing I used to use 20-20-20 basic but battled burning... with the canna levels I didn't have ONE spot.. so those ratios should be fine keeping all lower than 10... IMO.. luck.

well the numbers are the N-P-K look it up the are the amount of the main needed nutes a certain stages of veg/flower. So the 202020 was a problem cause you dont need that for flower. They have average N-P-K values you should be usuing at certain stages of growth. Cheers friend, burn on down for me I'm dry for a day or so it seems.

think it's Nitrogen-Potasium-Magnese? I forget I am trying different numbers as I see results every other watering or two. You barely need any N while flowering and no P I think in Veg I am at work I dont have my notes in front of me sorry
