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

answered grow question 3 years ago
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.

Best grow light for a 3.5x3.5?
I'm disappointed with my last yield and belive its cause of the light. Want to invest in a better product. Which one do you think will produce the biggest yield with 4 autos in a 3.5×3.5 feet wide tent? - Lumateck Attis 300W - Mars Hydro TSW 2000 300W I want the biggest buds

Mars Hydro ts1000 info
Looking to upgrade my flower tent light to a Mars Hydro TS 1000, is this a good light for a 3x3 tent? It says coverage area 2.5x2.5. My tmlapy 1500w will be going in to the new veg tent. Also, is it safe to swap lights mid flower?

Flowering lights never turned off
Power outage messed with my system and lights didn't shut off. Need a little advice. Should I just stick to the original schedule and she will just get 30 hours of light for one day or should I turn them off.

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away

Light height full power vs dimmed
Hi, with light height, does it make a difference to the plant if I'm at full brightness and further away vs dimmed and closer? I'm going to start running out of tent space soon so I'm expecting I'll need to dim in late flower. I think it's ok just looking for assurance :)

Light Burn? Mars Hydro TS3000 at 30% Power, 26 inches away per manual. I have since raised back to 30 inches.
Is this light burn? I noticed some slight yellowing/crispy looking leaf at day 11. Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated. Temps: 70-75 RH: 50-60 Soil Runoff: 6.5

Should I flip?
I’ve got my plants in 2gal fabric pots and I’m not planning on transplanting up. The plants are averaging about 8/9” and I’m starting to see small roots out the bottom. Should I flip to flowering, or can I get away with another week of veg?

Keep LED strip or remove?
So this is a space tub grow, other than the above head light it has a 3500k led strip running around the sides(around 4 meters) is it worth keeping this lighting? I'm only running a 150 watt growstar led ufo, which is fine for my canopy but my bottom isn't nearly as dense.
