hey i have a little question about misting your plants? i am getting mixed opinions on this, some saying that the plants like a light mist at the end of there light period, some say its not needed. My grow tent is 5x10x7 my my humidity is only between 25%-40% depending on watering. ANYTHING WOULD HELP!!

your humidity is a little low for veg so it wouldn't do any harm, may do good to mist while in veg. when you flower however, don't mist because drier conditions cause the plant to produce more thc to protect the plant from drying out.

The best time to mist is before the lights come on, but early enough to make sure they're dry before they come on. I don't like the idea of doing it at night, because with all that water laying around all night, you're just asking for mold/fungus problems. I never mist, except when I'm cloning, and don't believe it's necessary. When the lights are on, you have to worry about the water burning the plants, and when the lights are off, you have to worry about mold/fungus, so I choose to skip it altogether. The only time i spray my plants is if I have a problem and i want to foliar feed, while i correct the nute problem. :)

what if your humidity is low like between 20-35% should i mist at night during the VEG cycle?? i know not to during flowering because of mold but during the veg to keep humidity up right when the lights turn off, and i have a 14 inch house fan rotating 24/7 so im not to worried about mold with lots of air flow.
