Remove the water droplets from the leaves gently with a paper towel. It causes lensing (like magnifying glass) and can burn/damage the leaves. Container seems too large. Seedling do better in smaller containers before being up-potted.Welcome to my diary im currently 17 days in to my first grow excited for the experiencehere is a couple pictures from start to now shes beautiful

Is it a photoperiod or auto flowering? Ask him that : )Container seems too large. Seedling do better in smaller containers before being up-potted.
Amazing mate thank you for the advice I just finished reading something about the droplets burning the leavesRemove the water droplets from the leaves gently with a paper towel.

I suspect that is a myth.Remove the water droplets from the leaves gently with a paper towel. It causes lensing (like magnifying glass) and can burn/damage the leaves. Container seems too large. Seedling do better in smaller containers before being up-potted.
I suspect that is a myth.
Why?
Farmers water in sunshine.
It rains and then the sun comes and nothing happens.
I've don it many times and nothing happened.
Also when i get droplets on my skin, i don't get more burn there.
I have never heard of or seen any damage from water droplets. Only people saying it will harm the plants.
Can anybody confirm damage from water droplets?
Oh yeah welcome @Bigfrank710![]()

You say: From my experience - spraying/watering plants mid day (full sun or light) can be damaging.From my experience - spraying/watering plants mid day (full sun or light) can be damaging.
I dont think its through "lensing" of the bubble burning the leaf with light - but through slowed transpiration and increased light absorption of the wet surface.
Water sitting on leaf traps heat and "burns" it from the inside.

I suppose you've seem some damage?
It still don't explain why farmers water in sunlight and the thing about rain too.
I've worked with plants outside and i'm also educated landscape gardener but never learned about the watering in sun in my profession.
Thats why i got my doubt.
Maybe for some plants it would be an issue?
If there was an issue i would guess a quick temperature change form cold water would be worst?
One should think it is an innocent opinion to have but last year i almost got assaulted when watering a plant in sunlight.
So in despite i kept watering the plant in sunlight every day the rest of the summer to prove my point.
Now we're friends again.
Yep. Treatment is another thing.I can only speak to my experience - idk about any assaults or whatever...
When I spray my plants for treatment I avoid putting them back under the lights until theyve dried (or do it at lights out)
If i dont - they get burnt to shit. I have learned that lesson - for the reasons I stated before.
You do you man. Whatever works.
They water the soil not the leaves. I am in Arizona and tree farms recommend hosing pests off after dark. The water acts like a magnifying glass. You can take a magnifying glass and cook bugs and start fires. You can actually see the damage on the pictures here where the droplets are.I suspect that is a myth.

Well maybe in Arizona but here they water all day with sprinklers. And of course the water hits the plants.They water the soil not the leaves.

yeah i dont believe it either. im fixing to rinse all the sulfur off in another week during lights on, spraying micronized sulfur is a lights off process though for sure, and i wouldnt spray neem with lights staying on either. i have sprayed dr bronners with the lights on for a while afterwords with no effect. but i wouldnt spray it at start of lights on or late in flower after the light has been turned up or moved closer to the plant. love you PTAI also don't buy in to the magnifying glas effect.
