I know I know. This probably sounds like a stupid question. After all rain is pretty much the main source of water for plants out in the wild, so why would getting water on the plants be bad? I've seen a few things that have made me wonder though. The first, is I've seen on forums and other websites that getting water with nutrients in it on the leaves can cause a burn to the leaves, I've also heard that if you have water on the leaves, the lights can actually burn the plant. Then, the more obvious one, what if water were to drip down into the buds of the plant? Would this not be almost guaranteeing bud rot? I have my plants training right now, and they are pretty much taking up all of the space in my pot. so I have nowhere to put water, without them getting hit. I worry mostly about the bud rot/ mold because I had some water fall on a plant the other day, and when I came back this morning to check the plants, it was still there.
Any danger when getting water on cannabis plant?

u should be fine just water ur plants before they go to sleep it shouldnt be a problem but ur feeding try not to get on them so much
I’ve never had problems getting water on my plants in the sun or under grow lights. Just tap water usually, light nute spray or ph’ed water. I usually just do it now to clean them off after repotting but any nearby plants usually get a spray as well. I use vitiman c powder to ph (down), my tap water now and tell myself they love it.
As for getting buds wet, next to no experience with that and I don’t want to, not just for mold, I think it messes up the crystals. I think it would take a fair amount of rain and humidity over a few days or more to cause bud rot to a otherwise healthy plant though.
foliage spray recommendations on the bottle of whatever have never caused me problems aside from self mixed neem sprays. Really messed up some plants with that, they were in sunlight and grow lights
Maybe shake the water of they plant gently after watering and/or small fan can help them dry faster
I wouldn’t water right before lights off, high humidity all night I believe could cause problems.
