light hours

[tanyingzhou]

hey bros
is it ok to seperate the light hours
as in:
i will on my lights from 7am-11am and after that from 7pm till 11pm
total is also 8 hours

[SamLam]

why you want to sperate the timing?

[Fei Miao]

You're timing it so that it's on when you're home?
...splitting photo period doesn't make the plants grows any better than having the lights on 8 hours straight.

[tanyingzhou]

im splitting it cos i wan to on the lights when the temp is lower
my air con is only on at certain times

[cawanmushi]

i on my tank from 5 - 12. that time will give better temperature

Hi plant newbie,

I guess u are referring to 6pm to 12am is it? If that's the case, yes you can. Plants will adapt themselves to the timing you given to them.

10-12hrs of uninterrupted photo-period at anytime you wish. Just make sure your timing stays consistent and plants will adapt to it.

I think with CO2 you can turn it on for a longer period ... around 10 hrs a day.

Yup yup, sorry for the typo error. It is 6 hours daily from 6pm - 12am. Thanks for your advice.
