Just fun'n with ya JJ...keeping the lights on 24/7 is bad for your electric bill...and a thing a plant would want a break from. Consider how much more your brain gets done maintaining the body during rest than it can while a person is awake and active.

So while a plant doesn't rest per se...there are aspects of their growth that simply perform better when they've a full charge and are waiting on the lights to go out before getting on with some serious cell division for...absorbing more light each and every photoperiod.
slowthestone Reviewed by slowthestone on . A few lightning questions.. Would it be okay too leave the lights on 24/7 for veg ( from now until I flower)....And then when I wanna flower should I change it too 12/12 over A period of time like take half an hour off everyday? or just change it too 12/12 right away?
