Need to acclimate with new T5 bulbs?

[ken6217]

I have 6 T5 bulbs with individual Ice Cap reflectors. They are 8 months old and I am changing them tomorrow. Do I need to change the photoperiod or should I be good to go as is?

thanks,
Ken

8 months old?? i would just bring the lighting cycle down 2 hours...for a 2 weeks or so.

if you notice a lil bleaching or sumthing un normal, shorten it more. if no change in lifestyle, then go back to your normal schedule.
