Duh 24 hours from seed to bud stage. What r u a newbie ?? lol . This is ridiculous. Course we are talkin indoor grow right. I dont mean to be an asshole but Ive always done 24 hrs for 6 weeks then bud for 8 to 10 weeks 12/12 or 11/13. Every 1s different though. Course thats when I use to grow in California way back when.

Remember plants are just like us in a way. They need rest time to grow and repair. 24 hours of light does not give the plant this opurtunity. While the plant will grow under 24 hour light it will grow much better under 18 hour light with 6 hours darkness. I found this out first hand when I started. I had them under 24 hour light for quite a while but then turned to 18/6 and the plants took off.
