I've used both 24/0 and 18/6 and it really is a personnel choice or what works best for you in your situation.
Hello ImageReaper,
Thank you so much for stating clearly that your answer was your opinion.
I think when people say that it needs a "rest" period, they are projecting thier human needs onto the plant. I also believed they needed a rest period, up to a few years ago when I took some botany classes at the local community college. Found out our beloved plant did not grow anything at night, not even roots.
Think about running a clonner....weak, blue biased light, 24 hours a day....to root cuttings. The interesting thing is, if you root cuttings using 12/12, it will work but root growth is much slower. If they laid down roots during the dark period the 12/12 should grow roots faster. (unless the plant is confused, not knowing to root or bloom?)oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Is 24 hours of light continuously 24/7 bad for my plants?? I have about 9 plants and they are seedlings about 6 days old getting big now but i havent gave them a rest yet i was thinking about giving them about 6 hours of darkness tonite because they been going for 24/7...
