Reduce Watering Under LED Grow Lights

Plants under LED grow lights need less water than under HID lights like HPS or MH. Cut watering to roughly half of your HID routine — if you'd normally water 6 times a day in a given system and medium, drop to 3 under LED. Less heat means less evaporation and slower uptake.

Over-watering under LED is one of the most common mistakes growers make when switching from HPS. Watch the medium, not the calendar: let it approach dry-back before the next feed, and your roots will thank you with faster, healthier growth.
