As others have said I water in the morning as this is where the plant starts it's daily activities of turning starch into sugars, or the other way around bit to fuzzy to remember.
Also watering in the morning is quite effective if you have humidity issues (too low during day or too high at night)

greenhouse grow, so kinda outdoor. But yeah, the drying up part was my issue. If I water during the day, it tends to dry up by the next morning. If I water at night, it tends to stay wet another 12-24 hours. I was just wondering if by feeding it at night the plant can drink more of the water and nutes before is starts to evaporate in the morning and throughout the day?

Let see in mother nature ive never seen a set time for her to let her rain wrath. She can rain at midnight, she can rain at near 9 o clock am. she can even rain at 6pm!!! So much over analyzation -_-

Correct but in the wild is also doesnt rain at 1 set time whenever mother nature decided to let her rain wrath. Just water when you think its time

See thats my point. Now thats what i mean about dont over analyze things. This plant is very hardy. When you think its time to water its time. If its not time your plant will show you she has had enough and you can go from there. Me personally i water my garden anywhere from 11am-7pm

Are you growing in pots? If so, after your last watering let it dry out for 4-5 days (depending on pot size, smaller=less) or till leaves start to droop, then feel the wieght of your pot, and remember the wieght, and water, whenever she feels lite, water/feed her...good luck

[*insert my (blumat) tensio meter speech here*]
Water when they want it, which is in the morning, about 30-90 minutes after lights go on (when they start drinking more again after sleeping). Never water before light goes off (unless soil is dried out). Plants don't drink nearly as much during the night, give it only when they need it to keep soil optimal.
I've measured and analyzed the shit out of it so I wholeheartedly disagree about the over analyzing. On the contrary, if you grow on soil with a PH meter, throw it away, get a blumat tensio meter instead... whether you are pro or beginner (over watering is one of the main causes of death for mj plants grown by beginners)... aahhh, see tensio meter speech above
