Now Im at 12/12 is it better to water my babies in the day, or just before I put them to bed?

Oh and after day 5 of flowering, my largest plant just started to show her lady parts

congrats on the female... I asked a similar question and got both responses. People said water in the morning so they have the whole light period to eat. Or water at night so the plant has all night to eat and will be ready to soak up the light by morning. Sounds like you cant go wrong either way. Didn't get any responses for watering in the middle of the day.

water in the plants "morning". water does absolutely nothing but make soggy soil during the darker, cooler nights.

I water whenever it needs it!

I don't schedule my watering but I guess it usually happens in the morning because that is when I notice it.

i water in the *morning* right bout 30 minutes after lights go on and then go to work for 10 hours, imo its alot more risky to underwatering than overwatering. u overwater all that will happen is leaves will droop a bit the next day and its easy to correct, u underwater and it gets too dry you can have half your leaves dry to a crisp even if they looked fine b4

Always water when the plants have there lights on that way you are not letting any light in.don't get into the habbit of watering everyday robot watering water when the top 3 ince is dry perhaps 2 times a week 3 at most put your finger down the side of your pot and if the top 3 ince feels dry water you will end up with alot better root sytem.that is why most dudes have prematurely rootbound plants over watering when it is dry drence it through so it is wet through.

i was talking about just doing it maybe 1 or 2 times not too badly, ur plants leaves will die if u make a little mistake, im talking about barely overwatering not like way overwatering
