Default onions, garlic, shallots and water question

Hi All,

On my onions, shallots and garlic, when the stocks start to lose their
green and dry out, do I still keep watering them until the stocks
completely lose their green? What are the rules?


"stalks"

once they start dying back i'd ease off on
watering and stop once they reach the 1/3 die
back stage (where one third of the leaves have
gone brown).
