18/6 Pros
- For hot climates, the ability to turn off lights during 6 hottest hours of the day
- Uses 25% less electricity than 24 hours of light a day (which adds up if you have expensive electricity)
- Plants are harder to stress and recover faster from problems. Often the grow light can be kept closer. This extra hardiness can make things a little easier for you if you run into problems, or if it’s your first grow.
24/0 Pros- Cannabis plants typically grow faster when they get 24 hours light/day, especially during the first month of life.
- A good choice if it gets cold and you don’t want lights to turn off! Keeping the lights on 24 hours a day can prevent the grow space from getting as cold at night
- If plants are very healthy and growing fast, it doesn’t matter if they’re more resistant to problems
