So currently my watering schedule on my ebb and flow system is every six hours, four times a day. 6Am 12pm 6pm 12am. But now that my light schedule is going to change should my watering? I've heard not to water in the dark but 12 hours seems long without water.

wow , I use an Ebb and Flow set up and I water 3 times a day for 15 minutes each. No watering during the dark. This is during flowering. During veg , I only water twice a day.

What medium are you using? Im using hydroton. My plants seem to be growing healthy. Should I water less then?

i use hydroton and i water 4x lights on and once 6 hours after lights off just to keep the rock moist, i have had this water schedule for years and its always worked great.

hydroton here. Once every 4 hours. None at night. No harm in soil or hydroton drying out a little. actually pretty good.

Towards the end I only water twice. once every 5 hours when lights are on.
