When do I should do my watering ?

[Jayvelo]

When is the best schedule time to water my plants a few hours when the lights off cycle starts or when the lights on cycle starts or any time of the day?

I water when the lights come on. That way there isn't a lot of moisture in the soil come lights off. Don't know if that is the textbook time but it works for me.

If watering only once per day I would say an hour or two after lights on. If multiple feeds per day, space them evenly apart during lights on. I avoid feeding right before lights off.

Also in flower you dont want to disturb the night cycle to water. Environment should be dark or you will run into issues.

I have been feeding it at 9 and the light go off at 1 so is not good schedule to be feeding?

Nope
Feed it after lights come on
Don’t feed it before lights out, even a few hours or you can increase your changes of mold and rot

Should be fine. I like to water at the beginning of the light cycle so the plant has everything it needs for that light cycle. Like I said before you dont want plants sitting in the dark with wet soil. Humidity raises at night and you don't want high humidity especially in late flower. Also prolonged periods of damp soil can cause root issues. Cannibus likes a wet/dry cycle not always moist. Hope that helps.

Got it I'm going to change the time by my next watering it take like 4 to 5 day to dry out I have 7 gallon and 1 15 gallon pot

You dont need to saturate the whole pot yet if you are in soil. Plants are too small. Just give each around 6 ounces for now until they get bigger. If you are in coco that's another story.

general rule of thumb. Feed 1st thing during the on light cycle.

Feeding when light go out can cause algea, fungus knats, and such.

For outdoor plants is super important to do it 1st thing in the morning.

The warmer it becomes (lights on or sun out) the more water gets wasted through evaporation. This is why 1st thing at lights on works well. The water soaks into the medium (unless it's hydro of course) before it can be evaporated.

Its a small science that impacts some larger things.
