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..
