Allright, thanks.

Im confused about the watering and misting because when i mist, it automatically gets the pellet wet. How many times should i mist/water a day?

only water when the soil is dry. I haven't used soil because I grow with hydro, but I have heard a lot of people say that it is best to water when the first inch of soil or so is completely dry. I am not sure of this exactly for clones, so hopefully somebody more experienced with this topic will chime in.

Again, not an expert just repeating what I've read, but misting depends on your humidity. I lightly mist in the mornings and the evenings for my veg and once a day for my flowering plants when I first turn on the light. My humidity is around 40% in the veg room and >50% in my flower room.

What I've read is this is good for keeping the leaves clean and I mist the bottoms of the leaves to keep off bugs. I don't have any bugs thankfully but you know what they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

One really important thing I've learned is LISTEN TO YOUR PLANTS! When I first misted my plants they immediately started drooping their leaves. That didn't seem good so I checked my water bottle.

I was using water that had rested for at least a day to offgas the chlorine. The bottle was brand new so I knew I hadn't put any chemicals in it but when I smelled the bottle it had a STONG fragrance scent to it. I stopped using that bottle and bought one from a garden center and no more drooping.

Also, handling some of my plants seems to piss them off and they will start wilting so I've learned not to touch them unless I need to.

That makes perfect sense to me, to protect it from bugs and etc.
BUT
Marijuana has these grands that make resin, which is pure THC. When the humidity is higher, the plants will not need to secrete this gooey stuff because its already moisturized. If you drop the humidity, the plant will need to produce resin to keep itself moisturized.

Still, there are pro's and con's. You can either have a safer crop, as in less of a chance of it getting destroyed by pests. Or you can risk a little for better bud in the end. Personally, i haven't tried it because the two clones i have are the first grows I've ever done. I'm just saying this from guides that I've read

My mother told me a long time ago how it is good for plants to be misted with beer. Is that true?

With beer? I think they would only benefit from the co2 being released, but that is way too little co2 to really see any noticeable change. I am gonna go ahead and say that beer is not a liquid you would want to use a foliar spray.

I have the same issue, but not with my little guys, its with my big guys, all the stalks have traces of purple/red. Is this bad or not? I never thought it was before, but now I am hearing it may be. . . thoughts?
