If you are having problems when to water your precious weed plant buy one of those water level meters, costs $10 at walmart.

I'm stoned as hell again, but I don't get this? You water 1 hr AFTER the light goes off to avoid evaporation? Is evaporation really a bigger problem than mold? Unless you are A) really good in the dark or B) using a feeding system, how are you not breaking the dark cycle by feeding in the dark?
You should water at the very beginning of the light cycle or when it's warm enough if you are in a cold winter month. I try not to water my plants until the temp of the water and the air are within 2 degrees.
If you are using soil pick up your pots when they are full of soil, but completely dry. That is what your pot weighs dry. When you pick up your pots and they almost feel that weight, it's time to water. You really want to let the soil dry out and you soak it again. This allows the roots to get oxygen and avoid root rot. Mixing perilite in your soil at 1/3 will help you avoid the overwatering problem by allowing that oxygen in.
Good luck, happy growing, and future smoke.
