I could use some feed back as to how long lights should be on? I was told daylight 7hrs then 1hr both and 6hr moonlight only. Am I aonnthe right track?

Thank you

I think it all depends on what your going to be keepings. Here is my cycle:

VHO On 10:00 AM
MH on 11:15AM
VHO Off 11:45AM

VHO On 8:30
MH Off 8:45
VHO Off 9:30

I think I have mine on for too long, but I'm not too worried about the power they use (rent includes it...gonna make them regret that

). I may lower it in the future, but for now it works. My fuge is on a reverse cycle than the MH. Not sure how long to run moon lights, but I would imagine whenever there is no other light on.
