halide lighting schedule

[jenkins2212]

just wondering what everyones schedule is like with mh?
Should i shorten my lights since it is 10 watts per gallon now?

What lighting and photoperiod did you have? Shortening the photoperiod is an accepted way to acclimate to stronger lights, but how much will depend a bit on what you replaced.

To answer your other question, I run T5 actincs for 10 hours, metal halides for 9.

8 hour photoperiod for my halides.

I have my LED's come on at 10 and kick off at 1:30. Thats when my MH come on, they stay on for 6.5 hours and then kick off. After that, LED's come back on until midnight.

I run my 2x400w MH from 12pm-7pm and that's it.
