agree with dont because of the bud rot, but i very lightly misted a few flowering plants and had no budrot .. i really dont think that a couple times will hurt if you have a hot light and fan that dry it FAST but obviously can over do it

I don't know anyone who does macwmv, and most are running 2 1000+ with plenty of fans. If your that curious you should test it out on as few plants as possible.

do not mist, what is the benefit of raising humidity and wetness in flowering? mold and fungi love to eat/rot your colas from the inside out. you want LOW humidity for flower or you'll start seeing the leaves rotting where they join the branch and spreading.....

i see that the buds swell up quit a bit. i mist every 3 days. but like i mentiond you need very very good air flow to prevent mold and bud rot... i have not yet had any ill effects .

Mine are in the flowering stage and I mist mine everynight but I have a dehumidifier going and plenty of airflow. I havent noticed any bud rot or mold as I mist them lightly. edit: im at 60% humidity and 25c

get that humm. down. don't mist when light are out your humi just going to rise big time.. its already going to rise when lights are off any way... try to get your hum down to 30% or lowwer during flower.... good luck

Here's my take on it....
I always mist at least once a week in veg with a seaweed extract and a little neem oil to keep the bugs away. This is the main reason I do it. Spray the soil with it too.
I continue this regime with the Neem into flowering for the first 3-4 weeks, then I stop it. Neem oil takes about 10-14 days to break down, so there won't be any residue on the plants come harvest and hopefully the bugs will leave them alone from now. I don't spray for the rest of flower unless I have too. i.e. if I spot some spider mite damage (they've been fuckers this year!). I have treated at week 6 once with 'spray safe', this is a neem based spider mite/egg killer. I was told by my hydro shop is was fine too use all through flowering if needed, better than spider mite damage, but like everyone else is saying, make sure your ventilation is good if you have to do this.
