lighting

Hello,

I have a new light that has three setting.

HQI
T5
LED

How long should each of these lights be on per day?

The led is a blue led

Preference really.
Daylight factor in for 6-7hrs
Actinic longer
Blue are moonlight so figure for however long through the night you want them on.

You can do a gradual setup....Like first with the T5 for 2 hrs follow by T5+HQI for 6 hrs and conclude the evening with T5 for another 2 ht...Not sure if your LED is the moon light setting? if so, you can leave that on for the rest of the night to see night critters

i set mine as t5 on 1pm, halide on 3pm, off 9pm, t5 off 10pm.
you can have moon light on at 10pm.

Are my T5 lights supposed to be blue? Or white?
