Alright from personal experience, almost about everytime I water my plants I get water on the leaves and guess what those leaves get burnt. Whenever they haven't been water all the leaves besides the ones that got water on them before are fine. EXPERIENCE > some random article.
Water Causing Burns on Plant Leaves, a Myth?
- Thread starter jack ripa
- Start date
Here is a picture of one of the leaves that got water on it. Btw the plants are under 400w HPS in flowering, but this did happen in veg also when water would get on the leaves. So jack the ripa you should just hush your fingers if you don't know what you're typing about. Only times this has happened is when water has got on it.

Every horticulturalist knows this is a myth. It's obvious and total bullshit. Give me a break. If it were true you'd have burn marks all over your body every time you went swimming on a hot day. 115 degree day in Vegas my sister waters her plants, they don't burn from water never have.

The calcium and magnesium in hard water Tap is responsible for most of the spotting on misted plants. You should always use RO or distilled if youre going to mist( utterly pointless procedure btw unless theyre unrooted cuts). If you have other issues such as rust spotting or leaf crumble on the edges then you have a different issue and need to re-assess your growing skills and go back to square one: the basics.

Lol. When's the last time you heard someone say that their lawn was locked out? If Cannabis was as resilient and easy to grow, an eighth wouldn't be 50 bucks.

Some grows I have to treat for pm while im in flower...usually towards the end.
I have to spray my entire plant with water and greencure or h202 and water.
I set the plants under the lights to dry right after I spray the plants.... the leaves are dry within minutes.
no burns to the leaves at all.

Water droplets do not burn your weed leaves. Take a trip through Ag country and take a look at all the top watering being done in the suns evil rays of doom. Farmers wouldn't do it if it burned their plants.
In fact, I just watered my plants that are under a 1000w MH. There are water droplets on the leaves. When I go back in there there will not be one burn spot on them.
My outdoor sat under 100+ degree weather. Watered 'em. Not a burn to be found.
It's a myth.

Lol you cant compair outdoor to indoor, espically a hardend off staiva. water dropplets will cause burn to young leafs on clone if ur not carful. Once your plant is acclemated to intense light your less liky to cause burns from water droppest. My og kush getts all pissy if you get her wet under HID so it can be strain specific too. Some planst or just hardier than others.

As a grower, I'm stoked I live here in the land of $50, and even $60 eighters then. ( market value since the early 90's. You know: Terminator 2, Smashing Pumpkins, Pogs, Danny Tanner& Uncle Jessie).. I would cringe upon giving away my offerings for an unworthy 25 dollars.

How about water burns from TAP water that contains large amounts of minerals AKA hard water? I would think this may have an effect. Water that falls from the sky is typically not loaded with sediment from rocks.

you can burn leaves easy, if you get water on the leaves under a hps, with little or no air flow, and high humidty

There no fan blowing on this side of the plant and the humity was high after spraying the leaves, a few weeks ago, next day after spraying the plant, this was on the odd leaf
