what do you mean by best light schedule ?

how many hours do you run it now ?

 

[Arnaldo24]

with the ai sol blue and the controller u can pretty much control every hour of the day from sunset to sundown

I run my halides 10 hours a day. Nothing tricky, just on at 2:00 and off at midnight. You really don't need anything more than on/off.

i guess my question is more for members that are currently using any type of leds that u can control or something thanks in advance

start low % and then graduly increase to about 75-100% maybe for only 30-60min and bring it back down 8-10 hour light cycle.

I'm using the bali program of pacific sun, it runs about 12 hours, but i don't know how long it will run max intensity (which is limited to 85% anyhow).
