Lighting question.

Hi all,

Iv got a t8 white and actinic bulb and ad led blue,

What order and for how long should I have all on for? White and actinic are on one switch an blue is on a separate.

Should I have the blue on for an hour before and an hour after lights on and then run all three together in daylight hours or just turn the blue off after an hour and then run just the white and actinic for daylight hours and then blue for an hour before lights out?

Usually it actinic sunrise and sunset and all of them for daytime.

Yeah ideally but iv only got a 2 bulb hood..couldn't get a separate actinic so all 3 during daylight hours basically?

 

[Mike J.]

Yup, all your lights on for 6-8 hours.

That's cool,was running for 8 hours at the moment anyway and I'll use the blue for sunrise and sunset till I can upgrade my system to an open top.
