thanks, any thoughts on the misting the plants?

o.k. i used a 1/4 table spoon of the 20-20-20 to a liter of water, i equaled the liter of water over the 7 plants, not too much water and not too little, i was using the liter dish right from the start and only watering every 2 or 3 days, soil stays pretty dry actually but seems to be working fine, the plants take a good jump after each watering it seems, i also have a ? about misting my plants with just plain water, will this help them any?, seems to me it would give them more of an "outdoor" feeling as maybe they would just think it's rain, also they take water in through their roots and leaves so this might help them out alot, should i be misting them, and if so how many times a day? 3-4?

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?

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.
