I am not stating that anyone is wrong here. I will simply state what I have seen work. "They all work" is the simple answer here. The only difference is in the grower and the product. I have seen plants turn out great under many different light cycles. I have noticed though, a lot of plants will grow better under certain and different light cycles. I have also noticed the plants grown with a dark period will grow much sturdier and stronger. This is a debate that will go on forever. I suggest everyone just try out what works best for them. There are so many factors that can contribute to different light cycles but the grower must go through trial-n-error to figure out what works best in their situation.
jon420 Reviewed by jon420 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
