Your hydro guy is right.If you must put it in a cool mist humidifier an do it that way...but I'd blow it off foliar feeding isnt necessary at any phase of indoor growing.I use a cool mist humidifier during veg to piss of spidermites,thats about it.What do ya think the roots are fer lol?

Foliar feeding can have good benefits depending on what you are using, as far as to which week to stop? IDK a true answer, guess it comes from trail and error. Most of my strains flower12 to 16 weeks and have found that stopping about halfway is good for me. After the halfway point I worry about mold by not being able to totally dry the bud out quick enough. I use fish emulusion which has natural antifungus properties but I still am leary of moisture after the halfway point.
Good Luck

foliar feeding has many great benefits and will take your plants down a whole new road. If you have strains with 8 week flower period, stop at end of week 4... otherwise you risk prolonging the flowering period past the norm.. which usually ends in disaster! Good luck and know that there are lots of farmers on RIU who absolutely won't grow with out it.

i wouldnt foliar feed. if you must then i say be VERY careful and try to just rub the product directly on the leaves instead of spraying...

this is what i had to do for thrips once i was in flower...i didnt feel comfortable spraying buds...it worked for me with the organic thrip/mite killer i used...

Plants can move nutrients up to 20x more efficiently from foliar spraying than they can through roots. A weekly / bi-weekly foliar spraying should be used in your growing regime...the results will speak for themselves.

But to answer the original question: Lower the humidity as much as possible in the room and spray as soon as lights go out...try to avoid the flowers but a bit of overspray shouldn't cause too much trouble. With the entire dark cycle to dry out, they should be fine by lights on.

I pushed past flowering on one plant intentionally to see if it would react like many other plants, and reproduce on it's own. With a little help from superthrive and florabudalicious, she popped out 3 fine looking seeds.
I look forward to seeing if I just naturally created female seeds.

foiler feeding is a great for immediate def but also in the flowering stage i foilage spray up to last 2 weeks but keep in mind you need good ventilation to rid the humidity i have used neem oil up to 6th week of flowering with no issues when in flower it is good practice to foilage spray Zinc and iron every week on your girls light foilage
also doing a 4 day cycle meaning day 1 you feed plants for instance if you normally add 2 cups for your watering add 1 cup this time then day 2 foilage spray day 3 add the other cup of water day 4 feed 1 cup keep repeating through out veg and flower and your giels will love you for it 4 day cycles is where its at

I use Dutch Masters Liquid Light + Saturator and follow their directions- every 3 days. In between I spray several times a day (beginning at lights on) with RO water and a pinch of high quality sea salt for the minerals

Foliar feeding can be risky but really add another variable to your grow if you know what you're doing. I personally don't touch foliar feeding but you need to watch out for mold if you decide to ;)!

With enough air flow your plants shouldn't get moldy buds or burns from water droplets.

With that being said, if you want a MAJOR boost in production spray with MetaNaturals Organic 1-5-5 during flowering. This stuff is boss, I normally stop foliar feeding half way through flowering and still get a boost from it.
