Watering on top of the plant?

[lx574]

I water once in three days with 750PPM. This is my first microgrow with two plants which are in their 4th week veg. I started LST about a week back and so far things are smooth. Since the plant has completely covered the pot, during watering I have no option but to pour the nutrient water on the plant itself. Should this be a problem? I noticed a brown spot on the middle of two leaves and I am wondering if this happened since the the nutrient water was left on leaves. Should I directly water the soil without touching the leaves?

Pretty sure the nutrient water will burn the plants but not positive on that one probably depends on what nutrients are used also if you water with the lights on and spray the leaves it will burn the plant I am pretty sure the water on the leaf will act like a magnifying glass causing the light to burn the plant.

I think if you can manage a way to water the soil directly it would probably be best.

Hello: Complete noob here
I 3d printed a hollow horseshoe, then just siphon the water to the top of the soil. just a hose would do the same thing just crimp the hose to control ? just a thought

Ya don't get water on the leaves when they're under lights. They'll burn. More so with nutrients added to the mix.
