can i raise the humidity in my room by putting a bucket of water in it?
yes, all depends on room size. a bowl or pot with warm (or better yet HOT) water will raise the humidity. I wouldn't worry about low humidity, (unless you are trying to do clones), it will get higher the larger your plants get and the more moisture they transpire and hold.

1 of 2 options. get a vented light hood that is exhuasted out of the area (not just out of the room but the house, building); or make your room temp that you are supplying the the intake air from colder via a/c.
...or get a smaller light w/ less heat output (if unable to change the ventilation setup).

3-1-2 (aka 12-4-8) or anything similar (higher in N and lower in Phosphate) will suffice while in vegatative state. You swap those when you go into flowing (i.e. 1-3-2), but keep up the nitrogen a few weeks after the transition to minimize leaf yellowing/ loss.
o ok so i got the right ratios jus use it in small amounts... sounds good. thx bro

will misting my plants with a spray bottle damage them?
with just h20, no. You dont want to over do it though. you will want to refrain during the mid and later flowering periods as it adds to the risk of mold, etc. If you have good humidity control then you should be ok, but don't hold me to that.

If you are foliar feeding (misting w/ fertilizers) then it depends on the ppm. When i do foliar feed its usually about 1/4 strength of that i pour to the roots. Ive still gotten burn from being over zealous with the spray.

Aloha, thanks for offering to help... I have AK in the flush phase... just finished 7th week of flowering. I know I need to flush for 7-10 days, but can't remember how often... I'm using Clearex with tap water and so far have flushed twice, with a day inbetween. Should I continue with the every other day pattern?

Another question: A couple of my girls seemed to have ripened early -- they're covered in orange hairs and the colas feel dry on the surface. I've moved them out from under direct light (1000 hps,) and am just hoping they'll hang in there until flushing is finished!

Thanks!

you should be watering for "PLENTY" of run off, in a 25 litre pot I would be watering with 50 litres

i dont really need help but iView attachment 952213 have a big bucket and i threw a bunch of reggies seeds in it just to see what would happen and they have been outside since seed. i water it every day and its been 10days now and 10 of them sprouted and look like they are gonna grow they are all 2inches tall with the first sent of pot leaves (the leaves that grow after the 2tear drop tears) if i keep them outside and jus water them once a day will it just grow and bud by itself?

10 in one contaner wont work because the roots are gunna fight for space. if i was you i would transplant a couple of them (the healthy looking ones) into seprate containers.

iv seen this tried a couple times, and succeed once. you will most likely get 1 or 2 dominant plants that strangle out the rest of em. but yes when the days get shorter ( will happen depending on where you live) the plants that are left will flower naturally.
 
i have just started growing super lemon haze, i germinated a plant and put it outdoors in a miracle grow soil mix with high in N fertiliser, when do u think it will start to sprout

you cant really guess that but if it doesnt sprout after about 7 days its dead.
