Misting with coffee grounds?

If I mist my plants right when I turn on the lights, can I put a small amount of coffee grounds in the water for extra nitrogen?
My plants are just seedlings (4 days old), and I need to know if that will hurt them...
Thanks...

shouldn't hurt them at all. But from what I've read coffee and coffee grounds don't add anything nutritional to a plant. But you shouldn't add any nutrients until they're about 2 weeks old at least, and then its 1/4th the recommended dose
 
I've read a lot of articles saying that it raises nitrogen levels. Hmm... It's hard to tell what's true when there are so many sides to a story.

well to be honest I've only read articles that were talking about office plants etc. Its worth a try, coffee is pretty cheap

I misted with floralicious plus at about 400ppm as soon as there were leaves to spray. As far as coffee, I wouldn't chance it if you do not know for a fact it does anything of value and doesn't harm the plant. They make nutrients specifically for using as a foliar spray, get one of those. That is my take on it.
 
I'm going organic, I don't want to add any chemicals to my plant. I heard it's an overall better plant/better smoke. And it's cheaper for me xD
