To the people who say never mist your plants think about it in natural growing outdoors plants get soaked by this thing called RAIN... So I'd say misting is safe except in flowering stage as your buds could get moldy from too much water not dried off..

yes misting is safe, but dont mist too much, because the tiny water molecules will attract eachother and form a droplet. this can act like a magnifier and and can intensly heat up. then again its just a thought?

It's not needed and comes with risks, so why do it?

Misting your plants is one of the steps taken in spider mite prevention

I would air on the side of caution. seems to me there are more risks with misting than not, unless there is a NEED to mist don't.

misting the underside of leaves from time to time can help to prevent spidermites. plus it can help to clean any dust off the leaves. just never mist after you see signs of bud development.

Fuck that I hose them down veg to flower. I grab the garden hose and when they are almost done flowering I back off, but they f'n love it. It total helps with the mites too!! Never had a problem from it. Just do it 1hr before lights on or hit it from the bottom side so no much water is on the tops next to the lights.

I'd say its safe, but like u have already seen, it can act like a magnifying glass and burn ur plants. If u feel u must just do it right before you turn off your light. Good luck!

i wouldn't recommend spraying budding plants as it will contribute to bud mold.
and if you cant do it while the light is on it is probably not worth doing. it is not a good idea to interrupt a light cycle. unless of course you have a green bulb in the grow room as well.
I wouldn't put too much weight on the whole water intensifying the light enough to burn the leaves.
some growers even use foliar feeding to hasten the recovery of nutrient deficient plants.

I spray my plants 2 times a day and they luv it but they are under a t-5 and r still veging. Humidity is good when plants r veging!

Yes it can lead to getting powder mildew, but I have tons of air exchange and keep a nice temp so I don't have any problems with that. When the lights come on I use my garden hose to shower them down. After about 30days into flower I cut back on the spraying and try to only hit them from the bottom up. This helps so much with spider mites!! Ever since I started to spray I have seen huge improvements with bugs and the overall health of the plant. I make it rain everyday when they wake up
