12/12 on the light schedule. Lift your pots, if they are heavy don't water them again. Wait for a few days till they feel light when you pick them up. Then you can water again.

Yes they look over watered to me (mine looked the same not to long ago).
Apart from the mold tip above I keep the fan on as I have a small oil radiator in my tent to keep the temp stable without the tower fan off the heat rises to the top and as the temp sensor from the plug is about mid way down the tent, the radiator could potentially stay on too long so it helps keep the air temp stable throughout tent (for me anyhow), I use LED though so you might not be supplementing heat like me to get the 23/25 range. I keep my fan on 24/7.

I also purchased on of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PH-Tester-Soil-Water-Moisture-Light-Test-Meter-Sensor-for-Garden-Plant-Flower-Mo-/261910273601?hash=item3cfb119e41:g:hXoAAOSwpdpVa9eV
Which seems to do the job it was made for, I have a separate ph meter and ph strips to multi check, but just for checking the moisture levels this has done the job and stopped me over watering. It is probably not great for early days as it depends on your pot size but with yours at this size this will probably help.

Over watered yes. what kind of soil you got there? I'm not seeing much in terms of drainage in those pots. You want a medium with enough drainage to dry in 2 Or 3 days when fully soaked. Extra perlite will help get that accomplished.
Whoa just saw this post. Spend some time in each section and go thru the stickys to get a grasp on the basics. But 12 on and 12 off is standard for flowering
