Oh yes, there is a "permanently on" switch, but do you advise me to
use it?


No reason why not to, that I can think of.
You can get the desired off periods with the external timer.

If you could give me product reference source for this "Powerplant"
then this would help.

Aldi have some timers on special offer, you could consider

So far as I be sure from pictures on the web, this is the hood:-

and this is the light bulb.

I can easily handle the electrics of it, my question is "how many
hours a day should the lights be on"?

I am a complete newbie in this. This is my first attempt at growing
seedlings under lights.

Thank you for any advice, it may seem obvious things to you, but it's
not to me.

Michael
