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.

And if it's not difficult, tell me how I should control the light at all stages of growth from growth to the end of flowering!? at what distance from the plants should the light be? and what power adjustments on the driver should I make?

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot
Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?)
Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?6y ago

Trying to get setup rightI know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plantSetup. Lighting
