sounds to me like the problem that super sensi is trying to tell you is that if you spray the leaves then the lights are magnified by the water on the leaves. You should only water them in the soil because it will cause the leaves to burn in spots if you get water droplets on them. You should also be careful about getting any water on the leaves as it may have the same problem.

i spray my leaves like mad.. in some cases i'll mist the entire plant so the leaves drip.. with a fan on there it drys in no time.. it's water sitting on the leaves with no or little ventelation that creates the problem

Whoa man, why would you do something like that? Ok, I'll let you guys in on a secret. The dryer that you keep the area around the plant the better. When you mist your plants, they develop wide leaves to respirate water off the surface, because it is easier on the plant. The goal is to keep the enviroment as dry as possible, so that the plant will produce more thc glands to keep from drying out, and develop narrower leaves that also produce thc glands.

i don't do it on a regular basis, and when i DO do it...i dry the plant off via a fan on full speed to dry it quickly. i do it mainly to wash the dust off and it also refreshes the plant a bit..

i haven't done it since the 1st week of flowering because i don't want to wash the resin off

ok people ill tell u what i know as for spraying the leaves with water if your gonna do that go get some kind of foliar spray food to mix in the water i use dutchmaster max and dutchmaster penetrator it works do not spray youe plants with just water especially when they r sleeping this will lead to mold or powder mildew i guarantee thatnow if your going to use a foliar spray u r supposed to spray them in the dark or when they r sleeping so try spraying them an hour or so befor your lights come on i have sprayed with the lights on before and it doesnt seem to hurt them but it says not too so try to avoid doing that as far as the holes in your leaves im gonna go ahead and say bugs holes in the leaves anywhere isnt supposed to happen and besides there is no way you can see the bugs anyway unless u have catterpillars which i have had before and they r huge u cant miss em but if it is mites or aphids try using avid i use it and have no problems once again spray in the dark about an hour before the lights come on if using avid always where a mask not the paper ones but not the full gas mask u want the one that covers your mouth and nose with two filters on it if not you will end up growing extra digits lol hope this helps a bit

hmm..... i suppose when it rains in the wild.. the rain just magically avoids the leaves and buds?
i think if water was THAT harmful to the plant, it'd grow in the desert... it doesn't.


misting your plant CAN cause mold and CAN cause water burns in the leaves... but NOT if you do it right. Spraying your leaves... like i said before can be very good for the plant...as long as the water is dried relatively quickly, with proper ventalation you'll have no problems.
it takes time for mold to grow, which means the plant would have to be wet over an extended period of time..

Simple way of putting this, you can mist your plants...just don't leave them wet, and don't have anything touching the plant when it's wet... your plant will love it. mine does...

[BobBong]

Don't mist within two hours of the night cycle, the plant needs to be completely dry at night.

[FatBud]

Doesn't it rain at night in the wild?

Many of you are forgetting that artificial light, no matter what kind, is and will always remain inferior to sun light in many aspects of foilage.

The artificial lights cannot replicate the natural radiation produced by the sun which will act as a balance against fungal and bacterial infections.

Plants grown under artificial light will be affected differently by environmental substances. Natural sunlight, wind, dirt, dust, mist and moisture are natural to an outdoor plant and will it withstand many items that an indoor environment plant cannot.
