Why 18 hours works for me
Oooo bad temper.
1. You can run 25% more wattage for the same money. (so a 250w on 24 will cost close to a 400 on 18).
Ed disagrees: "Turning the light off for 25% of the day decreases growth rate by 25%. This is actually costly because it requires the plants to spend a longer time in the vegetative stage."
2. In a sog or perp harvest where your veg is running constantly 24 or 18 will have no effect on yield though it will have a large impact on electricity consumption.
Ed disagrees: "Turning the light off for 25% of the day decreases growth rate by 25%. This is actually costly because it requires the plants to spend a longer time in the vegetative stage."
I believe Ed more than you, thanks a lot.
