I have a misunderstanding of the idea of keeping your plant and its space moist(not causing any mold of course-but this isn't a risk during veg..) and ~middle~ in humidity, I hope this will be helpful to some one
The following thread was found on a question of how to mist your seed sprouting's newest leaves. I have not came across anything about use or technique of feeding water through the newest leaves of little sprouts; I know this is done on a later stage and on different clones but this thread explains:

Posted by bud.uncle:
Nitrogen promotes vegetative growth, so if you don't leech the nitrogen the cutting will spend more time sprouting new leaves rather than roots. My clonebox is pretty cool in the fact that you can see the light green, nitrogen deficient cuttings quickly develope huge rootmasses. Next to them the healthy looking dark green clones grow roots at a dinosaur pace if it all.

Basically if a cutting is high in nutes, it doesn't need to grow new roots in attempt to intake more nutes.


OK. Now read that last line good. That is an important note and reminder, especially for me. n0000b:rasta:
So nitrogen,...understood. We get how it works/ and benefits the plant. Moving on. So what is your technique for moisting leaves of seeded plants in a dry environment? Is spraying or lightly misting your plants not a good idea AT ALL? Then again there seems to be a bigger more broad question. What growing scheme is most optimal for a potted grow in terms or "promoting" root growth with a reduction in "promotion" of leaf growth or visa versa?? Since we can't assume which is the better alternative: energy spent in root growth or E in leaf growth=(high nitrogen) case by case FOR EACH SPECIFIC PLANT and its surrounding environment the answer is always presumably somewhere in between...So ill give you the most important information in this thread now and ill put this into a single simple question:

yep

heavy misting will leach Nitrogen from the plant

great if your preparing for taking cuttings

not so great if your veging

OK. So if I had a weak root system which I know for a fact is now booming outwards BUT I managed to kill/burn off the 4 first leaf sets with now 2 new sets coming in but only in a small way(maybe an square inch of good, new, healthy leafage if could guess). Basically I still have a small plant on top still. The bottom 3/4 leaf sets are dried, thinned, and light green/brown, so here is my question, and its only an abstract idea for the high and like-minded so if you dare, listen up. And don't be afraid to answer. Any words on this are appreciated
If a plant, whose first and final root life-stage is to be a root ball held in a pot then i feel that there is a possibility that in raising a plant from shortie to biggie that the most optimal growth is a fluctuation along its life period of root to leaf growth promotion. And does this not correlate with what pro growers fluctuate their nitrogen levels on?
My question: IS MISTING A YOUNG PLANT DIRECTLY WITH PHd WATER A BAD THING IN TERMS OF LEACHING?
Thanks for reading, enjoy!

PEEEEEACE
Should this post be moved??? I already feel stupid for putting this in my grow log ill probably repost this again into the advanced techniques if there is interest or if i don't get an answer haha i can't believe i was told and told again to buy a spray bottle and now im told not to overspray my plant's leaves..arg! failure
