Timing for plant lights

[Daveb82]

I just bought a t5 ho fixture. It has 4 x 54 watt t5 bulbs (two 420/460 and two 10,000k) It also has 8 lunar moon leds. I have not been able to find out what timing I should put the light on. The fixture has a timer that runs the 420/460, 10,000k ,and lunar leds sepratly. I was wondering when to have the lights running. Should I have the 420/460 and 10,000k run on the same schedual? ShouldIi have Lunars running all night?

I was thinking something like

10,000k 8am-8pm
420/460 11am-5pm (to simulate hot part of the day)
Lunar 8pm-8am
Is that correct at all?
any and all sugestion very helpful
Thank you

I would run the 10,000k bulbs for 8 hours a day. The actinics you can just turn on whenever, they won't do anything for you.

I just exchanged my 420/460 for a 6700. So still wondering timing for
10,000, 6700, and lunar

Same as before. 8 hours

I would have it like this. moonlights --> 2 x 6700K @ 2 hrs --> 2 x 10000K and 2 x 6700K @ 4 hrs --> 2 x 6700K @ 2 hrs --> moonlights --> lights off (bed time). No need to go beyond 8 hrs for total photoperiod. If you need it on later for personal viewing, turn the lights on later in the day or put a seista in the middle when you are out.
