Does any devices exist to run 2 bulbs alternatively (like two 12 hrs cycles, one On, the other Off) out of one ballast ?

It is possible to rig two timers in parallel with one ballast. Then you can program varying intensity to simulate natural day light with weaker mornings, intense mid-days, and ramping down evenings.

GTMAR 1000watt full spectrum lightI bought a gtmar full spectrum 1000 watt light off amazon, does it really put off 1000watts?? My 4 plants look great except I can tell that some of the under foliage isn’t quite getting enough light, I’m doing some LST.

Slow indoor seedling growth4 days since sprout, issues with light timer, seedlings ended up getting 48 hrs of light after they sprouted, and this AM I found that the timer did not turn the light back on so it got 11 hours of dark last night instead of 6. Could this be detrimental to seedling?

Light Distance - 3 plants are taller than the others...Hi all. So I have 6 plants with a 400w HID. 3 of them are about 10-15CM taller than the others. My light is currently about 45CM from the top of the tallest one. Would this affect the shorter plants negatively? Should I raise them to the same level and up the light to 60CM rather

Light burn or nutrient burn?Hey guys. The tips of my leaves are starting to turn yellow and I’m wondering if this is a nutrient burn or light burn?
I lowered my ppm feeding to about 250 a few days ago and am growing in ocean forest fox farm soil.
And the light is an optic 2 running just the cobs at 24”.
