They look good, but I wouldnt really recommend misting them with water, but I like to keep my plants pretty dry, the roots need some air exchange and if its too wet they can rot. They look a little but droopy and may be due to the misting of them, have you been trimming them at all? if you trim some of those larger leaves you will get more budsites on the lower part of the plant with more light reaching them, it can also stimulate some newer growth and budsites

it depends on what you want, I mean when people make a mother and clone it they are trimming the leaves in a way so that the plant will push out more veg and bush out, if you keep a plant in a vegitative state it will just push out leaves for ever. Ive heard of mothers that live for like 15 years, constantly getting cut like every 14 days or so. When you switch the lights to 12/12, the plants sense and shift, they still grow some veg for a bit, but late in the cycle they will use all of the nutrients in the leaves for flowering purposes.
