If you are misting STOP now. Cannabis dont like it. There are some technical reasons. You can burn your plant and cause troble with the plants biochem.

To promote root growth which means stronger plants(only in veg). Misting is usually done during cloning to keeps the cuttings from drying out and to maintain humidity levels(using a humidity dome).

Many people also mist plants to FEED them.. called Foliar Feeding

I say yes.
I think it keeps the stress level down and helps the odds of having a bunch of females.
It is a stress reducer.
Because it feeds every little part of the plant. Even the parts that are having trouble getting food.
I stop foliar feeding after the stretch.

Thanks Jdog!

yea definately stop misting after the 2nd week of flowering.

Spraying your buds while flowering is a good way to get moldy buds.
