Water in morning vs. evening &gt;60F
Default Water in morning vs. evening >60F

Watering at night is an issue with Botrytus below around 58F night time temperature, so during the colder periods morning watering is certainly indicated.
But what about the warmer seasons when night time is >60F? Is there an advantage to watering in the evening?
My way of thinking has been, that by watering in morning, the evaporative cooling will help keep peak temperatures in check [I do have "under bench" misters, foggers, and swamp cooler; all with automatic controllers]. An other way of looking at it is that there is longer time for plants to absorb water if watering is during evening.
Both arguments make sense, so either I am missing something, or it does not matter. Anybody with some reasoned opinions?

I grow mainly mounted (70-80%) in pretty good humidity (RH60-80%: without watering), in a small GH and two terraria.
