LOL! one of the great debates! Here's my two cents, I grow from clones in dirt...After allowing the clones to root for 2 weeks under low light, I give them the 18/6 for 3 weeks, and then go 24/0 for 3 weeks then 12/12 for two weeks and then 13/11....so I compromise, I guess. This is the first time at this light schedule, and they are only in 3rd week of flower, today is day 18, but everything is looking pretty good, so far. Yesterday, I noticed trichomes w/o a magnifying glass for the first time and was pleased! Closet grow with 400w mh for veg, hps for flower.

This will get things going.... he he he :lol5:
TANKJR Reviewed by TANKJR on . 24 hour lights Folks, I see lots of peoples using 24 hour veg times. All in good in some situations for a short period of time, but the plant needs some total darkness every day to work on root development. You will slow root proliferation by using 24 hour lighting, increase your electrical costs, increase the 'wear and tear' on the lighting system and needs rest daily too...... I think you will find that most of the experienced growers have learned there is no additional benefit from 24 hour Rating: 5
