Old guy at the nursery told me to stop babying my tomatoes

He said 'quit watering every day, let them get thirsty.' I thought he was crazy. First year my plants got all leggy and weak. Second year I tried his way. Watered deep but only twice a week. Roots went way down. Had the best harvest I ever got. Anyone else get advice that went against everything you thought you knew?

HECK yeah! My buddy stopped watering his peppers daily and they EXPLODED. He couldn't believe it worked either.
