Apex setup. Different profiles for different days

I use an apex jr to control lighting and temperatures.

I want to have my actinics kick in at around 10am on week days and my MH at noon on week days. But I'd like to have everything happen earlier on weekends assuming that doesn't affect my coral. Say, have actinics on at 8am and MH on at 10.

Is it possible to set this up?
 
Yes, the Apex has a setting for days of the week. Something like:

If DoW S-TW-F- Then ON

Basically the letters after DoW represent each day: SMTWTFS

Put the letter there if you want it to happen on that day, use a - if you don't. So in the example above, whatever it is would turn on Sun, Tue, Wed, and Fri.

EDIT: Found a good example in the Apex New Users Guide for what you want to do:

Fallback ON
Set OFF
If Time 07:00 to 08:00 Then ON
If DoW -MTWTF- Then OFF
If Time 08:00 to 19:30 Then ON

The logic above is as follows (disregard the Fallback and Set). Every day, if the time is 7 – 8am then turn the
register ON. But if the DoW is not Saturday or Sunday (i.e. Mon – Fri), then turn it back OFF. However, every
day, if the time is 8:00 – 19:30 turn the register ON.

The order of the above statements is critical. The DoW has to be between the two time statements. Put it any
other place and the statements will not evaluate as you wanted. Remember, the outlet is not turning ON/OFF
during the statement evaluation – only the outlet‟s register is changing. Whatever the register is after the last
statement is evaluated is what the outlet is physically set to.
