Depends how long I stay up and sleep in 😆 ### Lib728 ha commentato il 2024-11-09 I leave my on for about 10 hours each day. I have an alarm on my phone at 10AM which reminds me to turn them on. Then I just turn them off when I’m going to bed. The time can depend. #### Lynda ha risposto il 2024-11-09 Does it hurt to leave grow lights on longer? I know my lights have 8, 12 and 16 hour selections. Will it hurt my plants to leave grow lights on longer during winter time? TIA. 🤗💚🪴 ### Wolfen 🐺 ha commentato il 2024-11-09 12-16hrs. Though I set up some new ones and moved some plants under them, so they are on 6-8 right now, while those plants harden off to the brighter light. And I'll sslowly increase the time #### Wolfen 🐺 ha risposto il 2024-11-09 I use the Govee plug ins with the app, so helpful! And they have temp/hygrometer that connects too. ### Abbi ha commentato il 2024-11-09 Pry usually 14 hours but it depends on when I go to bed and get up. ### ElizabethF ha commentato il 2024-11-09 14 hours and I have them on smart plugs so they come on automatically. This works well for me so I can get the ones in the living room to come on before I get up and still get a full 14 hours in before we like to watch movies in the evening. ### Tiff ha commentato il 2024-11-09 12hrs. All mine have timers. ### Joycita ha commentato il 2024-11-09 12 hours but I was wondering if I should decrease the time during winter as well ### Kira ha commentato il 2024-11-09 12 hours and they're all on timers. I have too many spread across the house to be turning them on and off myself every day. You can buy fairly inexpensive plug timers and they're a huge quality of life improvement. My fancier one is a digital power bar that even has daylight savings so you don't have to adjust it twice a year. ### JenThon🪴🪷 ha commentato il 2024-11-09 12 hour timer. ### Hayley ha commentato il 2024-11-09 My lights are on for 12 hours from spring to fall equinox and 8-10 hours from fall to spring equinox (depending on the timer settings on each light). Everything has timers because I like their lighting to be consistent and I am not that lol [Altri commenti](https://getplanta.com/community/lZ7uAE3pQ86jnFGxrCwLrg/7RhtNSdQTo2Tpo168pp9Pw.md?cursor=mACtU0lUBhhQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABPn8UoME7fGA&language=it) --- _Fonte: la community di Planta (https://getplanta.com).
