Hey Josh, your MH should only run 6 hrs continuios as I have been told. As in my case for an example my lights run as follow's:

Actinics 9 am - 9pm
Fiji Purple 10am - 8 pm
10000K 11am - 7pm
3 - 250 MH 14000K 1pm - 6pm
Moon light's 9pm - 6am

This seem's to work for me, you could run your MH for a couple hrs & have them shut off for a couple hr's, but have them on for when you are around the most for viewing.
