Not oops.oops.
This is not gas lantern. Gas lantern is 12/12 during flower. So you're right as far as gas lantern being very stressing.almost as much as gas lantern routine.
Yeah mean leads to stretchy plants lol8/16 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.
Do those plants looked stretched?Yeah mean leads to stretchy plants lol
i'll play along.Not oops.
Veg and flower light cycles clearly shoe the difference between the two on my original post.
8 is for flower only.
12 is for the two weeks of veg.
More than 12 hours on is required to prevent flowering. That's the only reason why the lights are on for more than 8 hours at a time. Other than that it's not necessary.
Bro science!If you veg 24/0 or 18/6 your plants never fully recover if you run a light cycle longer than 8 hours during flower. Your plants will use a good part of the stored energy to recover when the lights go off. Wasted energy!

Do you notice substantial benefits from 24-0 as opposed to 18-6?

Indeed, hadn't considered the stable environment.Yeah
my environment stays the same 24 hours a day.
This is so far the dumbest shit I’ve read today, but it’s still early.If you veg 24/0 or 18/6 your plants never fully recover if you run a light cycle longer than 8 hours during flower. Your plants will use a good part of the stored energy to recover when the lights go off. Wasted energy!
closer internode spacing too with 24/0Indeed, hadn't considered the stable environment.
anything over 8 hrs ON is a waste in flower.Running a plant in flower with only 8 hours on a day works, sure. But it finishes the plant very fast which does end up costing you in yield.
