How to water, do I use a spray or just water the soil?

Gday guys
I was told that I should spray the whole plant when I'm watering it, so the leaves get water etc.

But I'm worried about the buds rotting. How do you guys water?
Should I use the sprayer when I'm feeding them and when I'm watering just pour it onto the soil?

Thanks

Just water onto the soil. Although, you can occasionally mist the leaves, they love it.

I water the whole plant. When it rains outside the whole plant gets wet so I can see no reason not to water the entire plant.

If mold is a problem then you might be watering too often.

Hey dude im only in high school but i kno 1 thing that i have learnt its just water the soil and give the plant a squirt on a warm morning. under lights you can do whatever as the lights will evaporate the water and not leave it on the plant to cause rot and mold. if this does happen just try using a little ''white oil'' on the effected areas asap this may dry the mould. (no gaurantees) its available from any good hardware store or garden centre.

I have a question about watering.. I have nice light and fluffy organic soil and every time I water the soil starts bubbling and it's like my plants are going to float away. I'm watering out of half gallon and gallon jugs. Maybe I just need to water slowly. But it seems like I need to put a layer of heavy soil or rocks down.
