I actually run a 9.5 hr cycle.
4pm- dawn cycle 5pm - full lights 1030-130 - dusk It is supposed to start at 3pm and off at 1230am, but too lazy to change my timers to DST. I love the dawn and dusk cycle... Colors just pop.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

With the new LEDs, I will probably be extending my photoperiod to over 12 hours altogether.
When I set up a different timer for the blues, it will be 15 hours of blues (8x10w @100%) and 12 hours of whites (12x10000k, 3x20000k & 3x6500k @ 70%). So an hour & a half of dawn & dusk effect each.
