Have you noticed any benefit of 20/4 compared to 24/0?

I've seemed to do fine with the lights always on.

plants go to sleep even if lights are on so complete waste...probly less terepenes if theres never lights off

Plants need sleep even if auto

Cannabis plants don't sleep... They don't need darkness if an auto either. You can flower on a 24/0 schedule.

You are correct that they don't "sleep" but they do things during their dark period. Yes you can flower autos 24/0 successfully, the OP already said they have done this successfully . But Auto or not I like to allow the plant to do what it it would in nature.

Please stop filling this thread with garbage and misinformation. None of what you posted is true.

Can't imagine why there is so much bro-science passed along all the time...

I personally like to run lights 24/0

the only reason I was moving this auto into the dark tent for 10-12 hours was just to hopefully get it to mature faster.

I feel like the dark would have the opposite effect. I still believe in giving plants a dark period, it has benefits but you can defiantly get away with not doing it.

What are those benefits again?

Feel free to start with the link I posted above and than search out from there. It's really about the plant using stored energy while not photosynthesizing, you know, like every plant does in nature.

dont mind him he wants maximum amounts of yields to make hash or sumethin.

I wanted you to explain it to me not an article. Plant doesn't need to used stored energy if it's photosynthesizing 24/7.

No that's not sleeping. Lol

"Need" , no it doesn't. Could use, yes. Do people need to eat healthy every day to live, no they don't. Are you healthier if you do, yes you are. Hey ignore it if you like, people do all the time. Feel free not to read the science behind what plants do in their dark period, perfectly fine by me. Your plants, your choice.

 

[Alteredegovintage]

All I was saying is I thought I could get an auto to mature faster (due to losing all fan leaves) by giving it a dark period.
I’m just scared there will be no leaves left and the bud still isn’t quite ready.

 

[Alteredegovintage]

Do you guys think I’m okay having the small amount of yellowed greenery on it?
I definitely don’t want it to hit the sugar leaves

You still can't explain what they do in their dark period that is required.
