The lantern lighting schedule is a lighting routine that enhances the growth of the plants in vegetative stage. The lighting schedule consists of having lights on for 12 hours, turning the lights off for 5.5 hours, turning it back on for 1 hour and finally turning the lights off for another 5.5 hours. This 24 hour schedule is then repeated for a plant’s vegetative stage. Turning on the lights for an hour in between the off hours inhibits florigen production, which prompts the plant to stay in a high growth vegetative state.

This LMA-24 lighting adapter is specially designed to use both two channels on the Hydro-X system to create a lantern schedule control for any lights with 0-10V protocol. It is compatible with HIDs like Gavita/Nanolux/Luxx/Growers Choice/Illuminar/PL and LEDs like Fluence/Next light/Spectrum King;
