    12x12 Lighting question

    Does it make a difference what time my Lights come ON and go OFF during my 12-12 schedule?
    In other words: Is it Better to have them come on around 7AM and go off at 7PM or vice versa? Thanks!

      I am running mine during the day, that way I dont need to fight light leaks so much (in fact I catch some sunlight). If I needed the heat for night I would run them at night. Bottom line is it is up to you and your schedule! Make easy on you!

      I'm running LEDs that don't get too hot in winter even closed up won't get above 83f with both 450s. I'm not using any fans right now nor humidifier due to woodstove keeps humidity down to 35%. I run mine 18/6 on early a.m. off after midnight lower vents all open windows are all open on tent. Now in a month i'm going 12/12 for the photos to flip to flower. That's when the humidity will drastically increase because tent will be sealed during lights out so i'm going to get creative during that period

        @SoOrbbudgal - since my Temps and Humidity are in range, I guess I shouldn't fret it. Was just wondering. I burn wood, too. Thankfully, I have a furnace, since my woodpile is getting low. (I have RA and am on 3 blood thinners and the Cold temps make it hard for me to gather wood up.) Wishing it would it would warm up.
        Thanks SoOrbudgal!

        Sledrock there is coming a time when we will not be able to cut and split 4+cords which we use in winter. We just purchased a new forced air electric heat/cool system for the house. Costly but necessary, love burning wood but so hard on our bodies. It's the only chore my husband does all year LOL I help collect it place it on the wood splitter if they are too large for him.

      SoOrbudgal I just love "Laying Around the Shanty and puttin' a Good Buzz On" while staring at the woodstove and watching the flames dancing around. So relaxing and mesmerizing and helps me forget about all my problems. I'm getting ready to sell my chainsaws and Wood splitter - getting too old and "Stove Up'" to mess with cutting up and splitting wood. I'll probably start buying it from a fellow down the road (He won't want any money for it and he'll offer to deliver and stack it, I'm sure, But I'll definitely pay him for it - I know how much work it is). I Love living out in the country - people are So friendly and considerate.
