    Yeah, halide photoperiod can be pretty variable from system to system. When I upgrade I think I will combine white T5's and HQI to create varying intensities throughout the day. I would probably do like 13 hrs actinic, 10-12 hrs with white t5s and like 5 hrs of HQI in the afternoon to simulate midday sun.
