Hi all!
How long should i keep my vho's and MH's on? should i have my vhos on before the mh's?
Hi,
I don’t know anything about VHOs. I run my actinic a half hour before my MH lights go on and an hour after they are off. My MH lights are on 10 hours each day.
Hope this helps

run your mh for about 6 hours and run your vhos for 1.5 hours before the mh is on and after the mh is off

That's almost my schedule. I run the actinics for about an 1 before and after the halides. The halides run for 7 hours. Then it's all moon lights once all those lights go out.
