Just wondering because my brother told me yes, but he also told me to spray with neem oil under lights and it burned my plants....(maybe it was too much neem)

i wouldnt do it while the lights were on. One miniscule droplet on a hot 1k bulb is not a pretty thing! Foliar feeding has been proven to be a very effective mans of nutrient uptake, so dont shitcan the idea completely.

I spray when lights are on only I just move the light up higher,if you cant move light up I wouldnt recommend it.I never spray at night.Darkness+moisture=mold!​

This brings up an excellent point mold. Thank you JEEBA. points for you.
If you want more humidity use a humidifier but it turning summer your going to need a dehumidifier soon.

spray it at night
I don't spray at night due to potential mold issues as well. Spray at night is a noob answer.

I agree with these guys, and follow their practice (also if your ballast is dimmable, dim it) :

I spray with lights on, and am careful not to get alot, if any, on the lamps, and never have a problem with plants burning, or lamps exploding in my face... I like to use a kelp/water mist during veg... And it sounds like u didn't use enough water in your neem py, because it shouldnt ever burn yer plants if itz mixed correctly... But, u can solve alot of the problems one would use neem oil with, just by letting sum ladybugs reside in your garden... I have had small whitefly issues before, and have used neem, but since I started using ladybugs, I havent seen one fly... And, I figure itz better for the plants too... I do mist lightly with regular water in flowering occaisionally, with the lights on, and fans running, so that the moisture will evap and dry off before the lights and fans cut off, and possibly create a nice environ for mold to form...

Already said 2ft+

24inches for growth?

ive heard 18 is best..

How hot is it 12inches from every one else's 1000w air cooled hood comfortable for your hand? I measured it was about 90*

i have some the clones about 16inches away and the biggest one about 18 inches and the smaller ones are the furthest at 20 inches but everything is still well lit
