Is it good to sprinkler 10 droplets of water off of my fingers onto the leaves of my two week old plant every morning? Could this is any way harm the plant?

It probably won't do any harm in veg - I definitely would not do it in flower - but there is no reason to sprinkle water on your leaves.

you'll get water spots on your leaves if you intend to photograph them

absorbing moisture thru leaves can help a stressed plant, if your plant is growing normally, giving it water by the roots will encourage it to use it's roots more, which is what you want.

ILLEGAL-SEED

i only spray when im using neem every 3-4 days. or they need a nutrient, and the soil is to moist. dont spray when its budding, as it will cause mold possibly. but, the roots are what you want to suck up the nutes and water, if everything is giving through the leaves, it will be healthy, but a good root system it will be thriving. i mist with plain water once a week to help with dust that may be on the leaves. but its not needed everyday, or else your roots will hardly grow.

MorningDew

I put seeds directly into soil in beer cups (after soaking until they pop) and spray the surface until them come up. After that, I only spray as the final step in feeding nutes so the leaves don't have stray drops of nute solution sitting on them making them burn.

I knind of like the idea that a heavy mist is a normal part of there natural production. I used to be afraid of getting my plants wet cause I thought it would burn them from the light. After I thought about though I realised plants get soaked in nature everytime they get watered. I dont mist everyday but I tend to give them a few good "rains" so that water is dripping from the leaves during the veg. Dotn know whether its more productive or not. I just do it cause I can .

As long as its only 10, It shouldn't hurt~ But for Gods Sake Man Nothing More !!

My lemon og kush plant is outdoors and gets a heavy spray of water from the sprinkers 2x daily and its doing great. It has been in the same position/conditions since I put it there as a little 6inch tall clone on the 15th of august, and now a little over a month later its nearly 4 feet tall with small buds that are getting bigger every day and it smells delicious.


I'm by no means an mmj grow expert, but from my experience wetting your leaves won't hurt the plant or slow growth. The over-abundance of water hasn't even hurt my plant, as I've heard too much water can do. I do want to bring my plant indoors though to maximize flowering and get a bigger yield though.

The thing is, That spraying with To much plain water can cause a Leaching Effect ~ Leading to possible Nute Problems.

IMO~ If your gonna Spray'm- Feed 'm!

Foliar Feed Those Babies....Then after a couple Feedings use Plain Water to Rinse/Disolve any residue left behind on the leaves....

I agree with spray them feed them idea. Just water on the leaves is pointless unless you are washing them off because there is dirt/bugs/spiders or maybe even if it is your only option for cooling them off. I would only spray them when you have a micronutrient deficiency that calls for it - but you could make a primary and secondary nutrient solution that would probably not leach nutrients.
