How long do you run your lights

[don duncan]

I'm curious what other peoples light schedules are.

I run my vho 11 hrs and stagger my mh for 5.45 hrs each one hour between each bulb

Vho 11 am- 10pm

Mh1 11:30-5:15

Mh2 12:30-6:15

Mh3 1:30-7:15

I run my metal halides and LED actinic 12 hrs a day, 8:30-8:30

[Derry]

Actinics 7am - 9pm, MH 8am - 8pm

I also do a 12 hour shift for both the MH and the T5's....
