i used to do it during vegging, but idt that did anything. im 2 wks into flowering and i was wondering if misting my buds or (clusters of hairs) would help in anyway?

if so should i use just water? thanks

personally i wouldnt during flower unless it was to apply neem oil or somthing but im just paranoid about mold. I mean outdoor plants get rained on and that dosnt normally lead to mold but it could paticually during the later stages of flower if water gets deep inside buds and doesn't evaporate off quickly but like i say even if its a 1% chance id rather not unless i need to
 
There are lots of products available just for foliar feeding your plants. You can also dilute some of your favorite nutes and foliar spray your plants.
I foliar feed anywhere from 2-4 times a week during veg and up to a week before harvest. I start foliar feeding in veg with dutch master liquid light all the way through about week 5 of flower. Then I start foliar feeding with snow storm ultra to increase resin production. I have grown without before too and got decent results as well. But I noticed faster growth and increased resin production with my current nutrients.
Btw, I have never had any problem with mold while foliar feeding so far into flowering. As long as you have good air circulation you will be okay.

i herd its not good to mist during flowering for that exact reason, mold. and ya like tsky said, i would only do that if i needed to with neem oil or something for bug investations. but i would assume misting in veg. is only really to help the humidity level. which you want high in veg.. It can also help keep ur plants clean and helps "flush" them if you've over fertilized
