To increase the amount you can produce on a cannabis plant you either need to put more in, or use what you have more efficiently. When you vegged your plants 24/0 as opposed to 18/6, you got 6 more hours of light within a 24 hour cycle putting 25% more light energy into your plant. Therefore it would be logical to conclude that this would increase the growth rate (although there is still a lot of debate on this subject by expert growers).
You propose 24/24 instead of 12/12. You are gaining no advantage ratio wise.
In a 48 hour period using either method the plant still only gets 24 hours of light and 24 hours of dark. So you are putting exactly the same amount of energy in, how is your method going to double the crop? (this is ignoring the fact that your plant would get stressed and most likely turn into a hermie).
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, just changed from one form into another.
