| overwatering can kill your plants and yes you will use less water, if you shorten the light period.

 | Overwatering can deffinately drown the plants. Especially when they are younger it is better to water only very so often. Wait till it is dry an inch and a half down. Also when plants need water they will look thirsty. By letting the water drain out the plants are forced to probe the soil looking for water, thus giving them a better root system early on. When you water keep pouring water till it comes out the bottom then wait for 2-5 days. I usually go 4 days before watering. Make sure you use distilled water too. later, KP | ||
