I am curious about misting plants with a water sprayer How often, when, how much I have plants that are in their 10th week and producing buds like crazy. I am concerned about if I am over spaying them Any pointers would be appreciated thanks

Do it for a reason, not because it makes you feel good about something :P my 2 cents on that. it can provide immediate minerals locally, but at a very inefficient rate and likely messes with transpiration in addition to bieng a foothold for microbial growth. feed it properly and you shouldn't have to foliar spray.

I used to mist my plants to raise their humidity since i live in a 15% zone. It worked well during the vegetative period, but it was essential to use nonchlorinated water(leave it sit out for 24 hours) otherwise it burned my plants. Being you're low humidity it could be helpful, can you place a clear cup over these babies to have a makeshift humidity dome? If you mean a nutrient spray, definitely dilute down to 1/4 dose maybe lower and always spray at the end of the day before darkness. The 10 week bud plant would maybe do better without, otherwise keep up airflow so no rot sets in.

Man i disagree with some views, and I think that is a terrible idea. The buds need to perspire on their own and your suffocating them adding water on top. Not to mention your risking burning the buds as well as increasing humidity and chances of bud rot. Just my opinion man, most people need to de humidify during flower not add more moisture to the environment.

The only issues that can arise is some bud rot from being to wet, or high humidity.. I'd stop during flowering in a tent just for that reason. you could cover your new seedlings with a dome of some sort with holes poked in it to help just increase it's humidity.. Hope the helps. Happy Growing. 👊
