...voodoo brother, ofcourse the sun is more intense...there's many of different factors indoors verses outdoors. I hear what your saying and all, but....I'm only giving advice from my own experience.
...when I first started growing I mist the hell out of my plants, especially in the veg state....it only made sense to me, since the rain falls on the leaves in mother nature. I noticed crazy spots, but was in denial of it being anything serious...and I continued business, learning....until one day, my hydrostore cashier associate brought to my attention, that spraying your foilage while the lights are on will cause burn spots on your leaves...and "BAM" ...it hit me....those crazy fuck'n spots! Mind you, I was only growing under a 400watt MH at that time, so.....even a 400 watt MH will burn your leaves if you mist your foilage while the lights are on. I don't want to beat this to the ground with ya man....it's pointless, you can look into my journals, or photo albums and see, I'm not bullshit'n noone bro....I'd give you any advice if I could, if it would help....and IF you needed it. Not here to beef, I just want to talk about growing....you say you don't mist your plants anyhow, nor do I....but, I learned the hard way not to mist while lights on....that's all I'm say'n, it's true....scouts honor!

What should I add for my cal/mag issues? I use RO water which has a PH in the 5.7 range, I add full strength nutes and alternate my waterings so every second watering is fresh water. This will change when i go into flower but I just thought I should sorta flush out my roots after noticing some leaf problems.
I dont have a device to test the ph of my soil but I cant see it being out of whack due to my watering schedule. I will stop misting the plants, I was just used to doing this under my fluoros to keep the humidity up around 50%. If I dont mist I find I am often in the low 40s but I don't want to invest in a humidifier if I dont have to
...reverse osmosis water, has a ppm near zero...which means there is nearly nothing in it, element/mineral - wise. Tap water is usually near 100-300ppm...there's alot of cal./mag. in your tap (most tap is loaded)....so, if your using reverse osmosis water, your going to need to add about 5ml per gallon of cal./mag. I use a product named cal.magic when using RO....you can find similar products at any hydro store....but, I mostly just stick with tapwater, only adding cal./mag. when/if I see dif.
Don't worrie about your soil's pH....just keep control of what your putting in it. Soil's ph raises as it dries, and becomes acidic when wet...so, it is constantly swinging.
...let your plants dry out first and formost, stop the misting as you know, unless the lights are off, and never mist past week 3 of bloom if you do...when your pots are good and dry, water them with cal./mag. added to your h20....don't water again until your plant's soil is good and dry...let them dry everytime inbetween water'n. (I've never in my life had a problem with "
low" RH btw, mine stays in the 40's durin veg. and flower)
