MichaelJ Reefer Apr 18, 2007 #1 So I come back from Fla. My MH never came on, my Larry Jacksons are brown, Caps are brown... pretty much everything but my Toadstool is unhappy. How long should I keep my MH's on each day till they get readjusted to the light? Michael

TomD Non-member Apr 18, 2007 #5 For 2 weeks I would start off with a few hours a day but I am not really 100% sure so we will see what the pros have to say. I know a few days to a week is no biggie at all. Good Luck.
