Plants aparently need a dark period to help process nutrients and sugars. It conserves energy and it helps out the plants. I'm not saying you can't do 24 hours of light but it doesn't neccessarily produce better plants.
Buddahbear Reviewed by Buddahbear on . 1,000wHPS with flourexes? I got an Idea from an outdoor grow I did last summer where plants got only full strength light for 6 hours a day due to foliage blockage. Only from 9-3 did the plants get full strength light becasue before 9AM or after 3PM the leaves of surrounding plants obstructed the light a great deal but the plants came out fine because they got 18 hours of light with 6 hours of intense light. Can you use an 1,000w HPS and fluorexes together for dual spectrum vegging? I was thinking about maybe Rating: 5
