My way they ALL get covered with the good juice.

I've recently switched from using Advanced Nutrients exclusively to Rèmo (Reh-mo, not Ree-moe). Instead of having about 15 secondary nutrients like AN they only have four additional nutes on top of the three basic ones as opposed to AN's roughly fifteen additional products besides the three main ones.

Besides considerably less products, Remo is way, WAY cheaper than Advanced. Using quality nutrients can get REALLY spendy.
If you haven't tried AN's Voodoo Juice give it a try, it's a great product. You can double your root production between the Veg & Flower stage by using it, when I cut down usually the roots come almost to the bottom of the basket, the pail is FULL of big, healthy roots. You know what they say, the bigger the roots, the bigger the fruits! That's so true. I'm boarder line OCD when it comes to roots.

He has some good videos on YouTube, here's a couple. He has buds as big as your leg, and not just one or two.

If you haven't tried using CO2, try it. Besides giving you substantially more weight it tightens the bud up big time. I use a couple Green Air Products generators combined with a main controller that I can control my exhaust fans. It's super important if your going to use CO2 to make sure there's none left in the air when the lights go out, it turns toxic to the plants when the lights go out.

Here's the gennie's I use

And the controller.

I'm going to swap out the CO2 generators for a tank & hoop system and not worry about lugging 30 lb propane tanks around anymore. Can't believe I've done that as long as I already have.

I've set a few friends up since legalization that don't even smoke, they do it just for the fun of it. It's a great hobby if you can stay on top of the details. When we do a cards night or games night at one of their places they will set out a huge popcorn bowl overflowing with bud for the people that do partake. None of the smokers in our circle ever have to worry about buying that overpriced dispensary bunk weed. Everybody wins, except the dispensarys and especially the tax man.
Those are nice big buds! I'm on the lookout for a small co2 tank. I have a 30 pounder i use for my keezer setup that I can use to transfer to a smaller tank. I am using advanced nutrients. I'll have to look into the nutes from the video.

I was thinking of looking into something like the misting heads you were mentioning.
