Light/darkness when did you start

Okay so i know when to start 12/12 18/6 20/4 and all that but im wondering since im doing it old school and not on a timer whens the best time of day like 2 pm 12am-pm 12pm-am or whatever to start 20/4 or 18/6 so ill be awake to actually switch it. By my calculation the best one so far is 20/4 starting at 12am-pm to 8pm for light then dark starts that goes to 12 am-pm again for 20 hours on light abd 4 hours off light but will someone help me out here lemme know what time and that you do it /started it

I run mine 7pm - 7am so my lights are of during the day to avoid heat issues and if you don't minde me asking why aren't you using a timer they just make life a lot easier and only cost $5 at Walmart.

I run mine from 10pm to 10am, but I use a timer. Electricity is cheaper at night & temps are cooler.

Whatever time of day you want to get up and turn them off and on

I do 7-7 as well works out since i have to be up at 630 everyday and you stay close to it being on when light out and dark when dark out

Your asking for problems trying to do it manually. Save yourself from a huge headache and get one of these.



I flip my 18/6 with a start time at 6pm off at 12:00p so I have night time cooler temps through most the cycle.

Yah im getting a timer soon and thanks guys im running my from 10pm to 4pm on and 4pm to 10pm off but your right a timer would help considerably
