spraying leaves?

i wet my leaves 2 times a day with plain water is that good or bad? can i spray them with the MG water i water them with? i use about half what the bottle calls for is that about right?i have 6 month old from seeds and some clones i just bought?

u might want to do it at night (wen the lights are off)

it doesnt help or hurt the reason it was posted to do it at night was so the light doesnt burn your leaves, the water droplets act like a magnifying glass at least thats what ppl say i never had the problem, if you got good circulation and exhaust the leaves will normly dry b4 that happens and foliar feeding is more of a quick fix for deficiancy, your roots should take up all the nutes you need unless you want nuteburn??? and dnt spray during flower or you may get mold.. it could help low humidity a little and it could help keep leaf pours open and clean but it really wont get you any significant increase in growth or yeild. DO NOT GET A HID LIGHT WET IT WILL EXPLODE IN YOUR FACE

only spray in veg.,.,and even then dont do it often or it will cause more prob then anything else

Ok well first off your using miracle grow for nutes? Not the best choice, I find there's really no benefit to
that product where mj is concerned. There's plenty of alternatives just as cheap.
Spraying the leaves with just plain water is ok I guess don't think it does much tho.
Foliar feeding is a dif story... I would get some seaweed extract or molasses even shultz 10/15/10 works
( but there's a million things you could use) well with about 1/3 the recommended dose for watering.
I foliar feed in the morning. If your using mh/hps then you want it off until the leaves dry.
If your using floro, or cfl they can be on for the feeding & leaves won't burn.

thanks i will just stop spraying them glad i did not get the light on accident. i have a 400w mh right now and a 400w hps or mh on the way i have 16 plants total should i use the mh with the hps or 2 mh bulbs?

i have unopened MG should i take it back and get SHULTZ? i saw some at the place down the road and they have promix i think i'll start using that?

ive used schultz liquid plant food before with good results. I would use about 7-10 drops per quart every other water. It worked for me.

actually cfls will burn them too, add 1 drop of wetting agent(dish soap) to your foliar mix to help the water roll off better
