i have always vegged 24/0 because they grow faster , plus you wont save a penny electric because you would be vegging longer, ppl always say "roots grow when plants are resting .....wanna see my nuggets and rootballs , his reply is wrong and a typicle stereotyped reply.....what i say makes sense dontcha think ????

Ican see the point you both make. Isn't it better to give your equipment a daily break? perhaps like 23/1

go take a horticulture course and get your degree like i have,,, and maybe youll learn a thing or 2 about plants,,, and when your vegging under 18/6 you will save money cuz you can vegg for just as long as you do under 24/0, and your not useing as much power,,

youl;l only know if tis goiod once you do it. some plants want the imballance of light to dark for certain hormone production and some dont need as muchy to create more rooting. less light looser nodes, more light tighter internode spacing
not sure what the time of vegging has to do with light timings.

Well I put my trainwreck clones in my homeade aeroponics setup about a week ago and started them out at 24 hour sun. They really didn't show much growth until i switched to 18/6. I don't know if it was just by chance but they improved a great deal and in a matter of just 2 days i had 6" of root growth. I went from checking the roots and finding none to checking and finding nice 6 inchers! of coarse now I have spidermites, just my luck.
