Stopped by that new greenhouse in Denver last weekend and noticed how they run their overhead misters at 4am.
The plants looked way healthier than mine at home, so I asked the owner about it and he said early morning watering stops leaf burn and fungus better than midday or evening, has anyone else tried shifting their watering schedule like that?

Honestly, that makes a lot of sense, I might have to try that myself.

Richard says it makes sense, but I think the owner is giving you bad advice. I tried the early morning thing for two weeks and my plants looked worse, not better. The problem is the water sits on the leaves too long before the sun hits them, which actually made more fungus spots on my tomatoes. Midday watering might waste some to evaporation, but at least the leaves dry off quick. I'll take a little leaf burn over mold any day.
