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.

Is it a photoperiod or auto flowering? Ask him that : )

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

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.

You say: From my experience - spraying/watering plants mid day (full sun or light) can be damaging.
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.

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.

Yep. Treatment is another thing.
We learned that it's best out of sunlight. To avoid evaporation before the plant absorb. Best if there is some morning dew iirc.

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.

Well maybe in Arizona but here they water all day with sprinklers. And of course the water hits the plants.
And we are not talking about bug combat.
We talk about water on leafs.
I also don't buy in to the magnifying glas effect.
It's true you can burn with a lens but there have to be a distance.
On the other hand, water cools when it evaporate, so there is that too.
And for the pictures, i don't see it at all. I see some damage on first leaf tips from the "skin" from the seed.
I still search for proof and havn't found any yet.

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 PTA

Have watered a lot plants in sunlight over the years and have gotten water on plants in tents, never had any burnt spots.

GNick55 · Apr 5, 2026

it’s literally impossible for water droplets to cause marks by the sun,.
science has proven this long ago,.
the water droplet would have to sit above the leaf surface and be perfectly shaped and the sun rays would have to hit it at the perfect time for it to do anything,,
it’s used as an excuse for human error,..
