Do You Use 18/6 or 24 hours of Light?

I use 24 in veg stage because you more growth and you have to worry about a dark period til flowering...

hell nah i typed that shit all wrong but i am geekd "24 in veg stage because you more growth" thats funny and I ment to say you dont have to worry about a dark period til flowering

I've never bothered with it. If you can lightproof your room like the bloom room, or if you are using only a single room for both, go for it. Your call.

I use a homebox for my flowering room and i use a larger rubber made for veg/seeds

For the record, I root clones under 24/0 as well. They 'strike' in about 4 days and the roots are visible outside the RR plug in 10.

see i would like clones to take that fast. but i do enjoy the option of a smaller electric bill. and i dont mind the 6 hours of darkness, since im sleeping during that time

I use the 24/0 method myself and my major concern is the temp never drops and it just goes up a degree or two every day no matter how hard I try to cool it down so I'm going to try switching to 20/4 see if it helps with my temp levels

i use 24 hours myself and the babies love it

imp:'s work their ho's 24/7. I'm a gentleman and let my ladies have 6 hours of "me time"

I also like having the cheaper electric bill...

and I prefer to imitate nature. I've heard that roots grow more in the darkness, so why would you want to hinder this natural process?

This is for the guys who to 24/0
I have tried this once and it looked to me like at some point in a 24 hour cycle, the ladies would droop down for a few hours, just as if they were hitting a night cycle. It was like, regardless of lights being on 24hr, they got their night time anyway.
Have any of you 24/0 guys seen this behavior?

[Dutch Pimp]

I've noticed that some. I have started doing 24/0 the first two weeks of veg; (using fluoro tubes), then switch to 20/4, then, 18/6 later....with the HID light.

i've never heard of anything in nature that didn't need at least SOME rest. give your babies their beauty sleep. go for 18/6

i had clones under 24/7 and they seemed stressed because of the constant light and heat and no "dark" time. i switched them to 18/6 and they shot right up and lookin healthy

p.s. more humidity in the dark especially good for rooting since roots love darkness
