|  Actinic light schedules, overlap daylights???
What timing schedule should I set my lights at?? Currently I have the daylights on for 10 hours then they go off and the actinic come on for 1 hour followed by the lunar light for 12 hours and back to actinic for 1 hour before daylights start again for a 24 hour cycle. Should they overlap and have daylights and actinic on for a period or switch between them. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

I run my daylight (MH 10K) for 10 hours and my actinic for 12 hours.
So my actinics are on the entire time my MH are on

Wow! My information I have been getting here at work from some people seems to suck. lol Guess I should talk to you experts before I believe people around here. I was never told that you run them both at the same time.
I bet the local power company loves you guys. | |
