I currently run my lights (2x hydra 32 over an IM SR60) at peak (peak being <50% total output) from noon to 6pm, with a 2hr ramp up and a 2hr ramp down (so 10am to 8pm in total). I am 5 months in and have survived a dino & gha outbreak, and now that I am on the other side & my parameters are stable I feel like I should bump up my lighting duration a bit based on what I see online (perhaps this assumption is wrong). So my question is this: Would it be better to change my ramps to 1 hr each, making the peak 8 hrs with the same 10 am to 8 pm total schedule, or extend the ramp times to 3hrs each & keep the peak at 6hrs, thus going from 9 am to 9 pm with same 6 hr peak. Or is this an impossible question to answer due to variables I am not providing. I know whatever I do, I need to make changes slowly, so I am reluctant to tinker back
& forth. I don’t want to make a mistake.
Thanks!
