18/6 will cause the plants to stretch during the dark time, which might give the illusion the plant is bigger, but it just means the distance between the inter-nodes is bigger. Regardless of which veg cycle you choose, they will shoot up when you switch to 12/12. If you let sativa dominant plants get too tall during veg, they will grow extremely tall when flowering, or at least the first few weeks of flowering.I've ran 18/6 and 24/0 and I think 18/6 gives you taller plants, but 24/0 gives you fuller plants and a bigger yield.
I read the study too, or a similar one? And it tested for final yield with plants vegged ar diffeterent cycles.
Anyways, the results showed that lowering ur light cycle gradually yielded the most, but only some insignificant gms..
it wasnt enough for me to change my style of 24/0.
However, since then I have actually converted to 18/6 for overall plant vigor and vitality.
IMO 24/0 of ur commercial, dont need the hassle and arent concerned bout overall plant health. And thats not a bag out, I used 24/0 for years its all good, but 18/6 iffor happier ladies.
24/0 is a waste of time. And is unnatural.
Anytime you touch a plant, it becomes unnatural.
24/0 is not a waste of time. It simply just saves on electricity.
WOW!!! Running lights longer SAVES electricity!!! lol
What I meant is, running 24/0 lights is not a waste of time....It (it being 18/6) simply saves on electricity.
No need to ejaculate over a typo.
