Any thoughts on that?

LUDA.

Are we really that dependent on someone else to tell us what to do that we can't solve a simple problem ourselves? Okay, so a drop of water under a light acts like a magnifying glass and can burn your plants. If you foliar feed while the lights are out, this becomes a non-issue. Mold and mildew are completely preventable as well. Good air flow, proper humidity levels and temperatures are all things that have a direct influence on mold and mildew growth. Obviously you don't want to spray the flowers (buds) with water or fertilizer, especially close to harvest time, so BE CAREFUL! Don't go in there with a fire hose and soak the whole room.

I think the "pros" outweigh the "cons", as long as you use common sense. Unfortunately, there seems to be a shortage of that and NO you can't borrow mine...

Thank you very much for that thoughtful insight.
