Hey Guys the answer is probably Out there but ive have Not yet crossed it , is it possible to expose the ladies to 24 hours light and 24 hours darkness ? The long photo period should have enough energy stored to survive the night right ? Has anyone try it ?

I would guess no, but never tried it.... The 12 hours of darkness is really important. Keep in mind that the general over simplified idea is to mimic nature that has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. I would think the basic genetics might get confused. I have heard of a system that always has 12 hours off but they use a bell curve of light hours from 8 to 12 hours throughout the 8+ week cycle. Why would you want to do this?

If you're talking about doing this as a normal schedule, I wouldn't recommend it. If you're going to be gone and do not have a timer for your lights and you're trying to compensate with longer day/night periods... I would suggest either A, getting a cheap timer for $5 somewhere, or B, just keep your normal schedule until you're gone, then lights off, then back on when you're back the next day, and continue your normal schedule like you never left.
