My question is ... I get up at different times everyday.... does a RES need a set time for lights to go on and off?.. when I get up I turn them on then at night when it has been 12 hrs I shut them off...
I didn't see anything posted to this nature, also if it goes over the 12 hrs is that a problem?
thank you ahead of time
Peace love & light

you really should keep the lights on to mimic the length the sun is out. Of course, this will be different times depending on the seasons... If it goes over a bit it's not a huge deal .. :)
