I have my blue antinics coming on at 8am then the halides come on 15 mins later then halides turn off at 8.30pm followed by antinics 15 mins later.

Are these times ok? or to short or to long

I have three 15k halides and four blues

those times are fine but most go for atanics to come on 1 hour before the MH but all is what suits your likes
