Do they BOTH run during the day or just the daytime lights (4 lamps) and what should the timers be set at? All new too me.
Any advice would be helpfull! thanks !  |
I run my actinics for 11 and all lights for 9. Have the actinics come on an hour before and stay on 1 hour later. I think the best way if your hanging your light is to stay up say 10" and slowly work your way down. JMO maybe someone else has a better idea...goodluck
