Why what?

8/16 light cycle??
Cannabis is a short day or photoperiod plant. It can only consume 8hrs of light a day. After that is a waste of resources.
16hrs dark period allows for longer growth and trichome production that only happens in the dark.
Also promotes root growth which feed all the new vegetative growth.

short day plant means it needs 12hrs darkness to start flowering.

Not wrong.
Some plant tomatoes is in March, some in June.
They're both going to get tomatoes.
There really is no wrong as long as you're getting the fruit you expect.

Reality!

24/0 stresses them. Instead of fullest production they are wasting growing time on recovering from the unnecessary stress.

That brings back some memories. I ran a similar set up with another 3x4 in a cellar for a century at least. Those were the days.

I would bring in my cuttings , covering them in clear beer cups for a day or 2 for the light change, uncover and if they didn't wilt in the first 10 minutes there good.
I would veg for maybe a week then turn the light, 90 darlings would rise,
then use wooden dowels , penetrating the plastic through the cube . zip tying each plant to stand its term.
My tables stood 2ft from floor for my tote of nutes so I did not have enough room to veg for long.

Enjoy
