    I would like to add that my fuge light goes on one hour before my DT's lights go out. This gives fuge an hour to start doing its thing before my DT calls it a day.

    I do like the idea of the one hour overlap time. Question is do you overlap on the other end or how do you set up the lighting for the fuge timewise

    Are you guys having good luck with those 6500k bulbs? I tried one and it wouldn't grow the chato. I saw petsmart had a 50/50 cf bulb for 10 bucks. Might try that.
