I am adding two t5 bulbs to my canopy in addition to my AP700.

What schedule do people run with the T5 (I was thinking 4hrs a day in the middle of my current light schedule)?

Should i knock back the intensity on the led when the t5 turns on?

That is exactly what I do. I run mine for 4 hours a day and do not reduce the intensity of the main lighting.

I run the T5s for eight hours and the Kessils run for 12 hours (continuous ramp four six hours).

T5 with two bulbs installed 1 actinic 1 blue plus. I will run for 3hrs for the next few days and then up the schedule. I didn't touch the ap700 schedule or intensity.

thanks for the comments.
