Generally 12 hours....spacing your LED's first for an hour, then your T5's for 2-3 hours, then your halides for 7-8. Then reverse this

Depending on what kind of LED's. But im assuming since the LED's are blue, they are more of a supplement to your others. Halides and T5's are where you are going to get your growth from, and the LED's are more for color enhancement
