The Title of the thread pretty much is my question. Here is a photo of the seedling.

you can, but plants benefit from some darkness, which is why many go 20/4 or 18/6

Probably best off going for 18/6 straight under 600w if That's what light your using and controlling the heat will be fine

Btw I feel like this seedling is growing really fast. It's been one day and the first set of leaves are already big enough for it to start shaking around from the air coming from the fan. The first set of leaves are offsetting off of the plant by 1 CM which tells me that this plant has grown a lot in 24 hours. here is a new pic comparing today and yesterday.

Hey Stuffedorange!

I've always sprouted my beans with 17 or 18 hours of light. I think 24 hours isn't necessary but it won't cause any problem . Cannabis plant can get sleep even when the light is on which means that beyond a certain point, it's a waste of power though it is not harmful.

I have tried 24 hours of light and I have tried 18/6 and in my opinion 18/6 is better. I feel when the plant keeps getting beat with light 24 hours a day it stresses it a little and why not 18/6 to save money on electricity. Only time I do 24 hours is when I’m rooting clones.

Yes, I also do 24 hours when re-vegging a plant that I harvested and want to grow again
