Hi! I have been doing some research on best watering times, but all I have found was how many times I needed to water. Can anyone tell me what's the best watering times for WR in hydro? I know how many times to water (3). I need to know the best hours, every how often, during the morning or at night... Thx!

I dunno.. I water them when they are dry. LOL
Water your pots until you get runoff thru the drain holes. Then lift the pot and feel it's weight. Let it dry out (5 or 6 days for a 5 gal bucket) and lift it again to feel the weight. You can tell by that. I used to think that I had to stick to a regimen, but there are too many variables involved. Transpiration rates, humidity in the room (even though we TRY to control the variables) will negate the validity of any "regimen".
I learned to relax and let the plants do their thing while I watch 'em and tend to them when they need something. This growing thing is a lot more fun that way. Less stress. You can kill your plants by loving them to death. (I did)
