T5's 12hrs
MHs 6 hrs
Seemed to have pretty good results.
Now switched over to LEDs so I cant really vote with those as now on a scheduled 24hr program.

12 Hours - 2 Vertex Illumilux (453nm Blue & 7K White) LED modules & 3 Ecoxotic Stunner LED strips (453nm Blue & 8K White)

24 Hours - 2 Ecoxotic Stunner LED strips (453nm Blue) Moonlights

However, I'm thinking of dropping the main lighting down to 10 hours a day. I'm battling a massive GHA outbreak at the moment.
