I agree with oranoman. Water now if the pots are dry. If you have a proper wet/dry cycle then the time you water does not matter as much as watering when needed.

High bro, The best time to water your plants is when the lights turned on for approximately 2 hours. This is the time that the plants are starting with their breakfast. At night they barely drink. So when you only water them 2 hours after the lights turned on you prevent that the soil is to wet the whole night because this can cause various problems. Happy Growing! 😋

I wouldn't water them until the next UNLESS the plants are drooping and really REALLY sad looking. I normally pick up all my pots just before lights out so I can make a plan for what is going to need what the next day... some will need watering only, some will need feeding... I like to be prepared for the next day! Good luck!

I don't water until lights been on an hour or two or within 2 hrs of lights off. My system is to have several waterings at points between working up to reaching run off by that 2 hrs before lights out. In early stages adding enough to keep moist won't hurt, if it's later stages and full on, I wouldn't. Best of luck

Wait until the morning. Watering when you turn the lights out will have the water just sitting in your pots. That can encourage root rot and other nasty stuff. So, just water them in the morning when you turn your lights on. I hope this helps.
