With a 1/4 tablespoon per liter of water is full strength...If you are using HID lighting then the misting would cause more problems.The dropplets on the leaf is like a magnifiying glass. It can blister the leaf tissue. The stomata is where the plant can breathe.They do absorb water through the leaves...If the air is very dry then you would be fine.It would evaporate before doing any damgage..Like in an area such as arizona..

my room is around 30 degrees c and the humitidy stays around 38-40, i'm using four 4ft flouresents with 2 cool white bulbs and 2 daylight bulbs, have good ventalation, with a 12 inch fan blowing 24h a day, will misting hurt in these conditions?

Once or twice a week would do fine...But,very lightly. If your gonna mist them. You should go ahead and use neem oil at an early stage. You assure yourself not to have mites..:thumbsup:

was wondering if i should transplant my plants now,

If roots are growing out the bottom of the pot its def. time to transplant. They definately look ready, the rule of thumb is to have a gallon of soil for every inch of plant height. When do you think you'll start flowering?

also dont soak the leaves with water, i wouldnt anyway.. think about burnt leaves and yellowing, eww lol nice healthy lookin plant !

Neem oil is an extract from the neem tree. It is armour for your plants. When used with protek,an emulsifier.. It will break the reproduction cycle of the spider mite.If they can't feed then they die.
