This is going to spark a debate, but I like 24hr's

Im under the impression that when your plants rest they put energy into storing sugars for the the expected dark period. Of course im going to be unprofessional and say that "I cant find the scientific journal that supports this", but it is something that was published in the last year Ill try and dig it up.

Anyway i figured that if the plant is not expecting a dark period it will not put any energy into storing for the dark periods, and put that energy elsewhere. Im gonna get bashed for this but w/e.

Honestly I've tried it all and never seen a that much of a difference. I proabbly dont use anything besides 24hr becasue im too lazy to set timers jk(well kinda haha)

When Respiration Occurs
  • Respiration, unlike photosynthesis, does not use energy from the sun. Therefore, respiration can occur in darkness. During respiration plants reuse the sugars, or carbohydrates, already stored within the plant to help it grow.

In an indoor setting where you have controlled watering, and sometimes co2 enrichment (main benefits of respiration in plants from your article) is it that benificial? Also I saw that respiration is also a main function ion the citric acid cycle, but that seemed to have little benefits to plants.

Having a highly active microbe life is also a natural way to produce a CO2, and is part of the exponential production CO2 we are facing as a planet. here is a lecture on that subjesct that is very intersting.
