I made this schedule just to get a handel on the lights and will adjust when I get a par meter but I first have the following questions
(My t5's cut on at 1pm and go off at 5pm)

1. do I want a longer or shorter peak time 4-5-or 6 hours?
2.is a 12 hour shcedule okay like I have it or do I do a 10 or 8 hour schedule?
3. as I have it now do the lights come on 10:30 and go off at 11pm?

12 hours is a pretty long schedule, Id Keep your peak and dial back the tail end of the schedule some to like 8pm main lights out and then a few hours of a uv (moon ) cycle. Moon cycle comes on at 1030 from what I can see, assuming you have a 30 min ramp down on that profile?

I could do moon at 9pm (all times are 30min ramp) and start the lights at 11am then go to 11:45 then 12:30
