**![Cannabis when to water](http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/marijuana-when-to-water.jpeg)When is good time during the day to water marijuana plants that are budding?**

It’s best for marijuana plants in vegetative growth to be watered in the morning. This is also true for plants that are being forced to flower. This effectively allows them to carry on their metabolic processes efficiently throughout the day. The marijuana plants transpire water at higher rates during the day to maintain adequate temperatures for photosynthesis.

Although now I have my watering on drip system throughout the day, if you are hand watering, always try to water in the AM. Also watering in the morning will allow the buds to dry during the day preventing mold.
