water burning leaves?

ok so alot of people say that water droplets will burn leaves of a plant. i looked a bit and this is what i found

These experiments found that water droplets on a smooth surface, such as maple or ginkgo leaves, cannot cause leaf burn. However in contrast the team found that floating fern leaves, which have small wax hairs, are susceptible to leaf burn. This is because the hairs can hold the water droplets in focus above the leaf's surface, acting as a magnifying glass.

I know cananbis leaves are slightly hairy, or at least some of them but they are not really that hairy. has anyone found any solid research on this or tried it themselvs to see if it is possible?

Yea I heard the trichs hold up water, but I'm not sure. I just flick the leaves after watering to get the big drops off and let the rest evaporate.

No otherwise when it rains outside the plant would burn up. Foliar feeding too strong will burn.

well the concept is when you water during a hot sunny day. when it rains its usually cloudy and the sun is not hitting the water droplets
