This may not help them last longer. Most electrical equipment is most prone to break when it is first powered on. Think about how many times a light bulb burns out when you switch it on versus how many times it just burns out after already being on.

I ran my first grow 24/0 because I didn't have a timer at the start, but I would go 18/6 -20/4 now that I have timers simply for the electricity cost.
eggrole1 Reviewed by eggrole1 on . 18-6 or 24-0 light cycle? which one is more effective for vegetation? i heard that 18-6 can increase potency but wanted to get some opinions from some more experienced growers cuz this is my first grow. thanks Rating: 5
