I’d say maybe a bit more growth from 24/0 but I haven’t seen much to be honest from 24 to 20.

i veg under 24, they havent seemed to care, then i switched to a larger light, only real benefit or difference IVE (important emphasis there) noticed is, my electric bill is a little lower from the 5 hours its off now, plants still look the same tho.
i veg all my seedlings under 24 hour.
i just have a milk crate with a few bare bulbs above it, no timer just on in a closet,

Is it an auto? If not, it'll stay in veg. For photo-period (non-auto) plants, you need 12/12 for flower.

A few posts back, you wrote that you'd leave it in 24/0 through bloom, so I wanted to let you know you need 12/12 when you're ready for it to flower. 24/0 is fine for veg, as long as you're not concerned about the electric bill.
