I have been dosing at same time as lights on, is this the best time to dose it?
 
When I dose it I normally do it a few hours before the lights come on

If you keep to the same routine, the carbon is always available, it doesn't matter when you dose.
 
The liquid carbon usually dissipates over 24hours due to plants using it, reacting with organics in the water and degrading by light. So you, as recommended by Seachem for Excel, you should dose during the day.

I auto dose mine at 1pm with lights on at 5pm.
 
Would be interesting to see whether it makes a difference. I suspect it won't make much of a difference. It makes sense to dose it just before lights on but at the same time every day so the plants can adapt.
