I asked the same question a few days ago. I had always done 24/7, but then I read here about people doing 18/6. I'm still doin' 24/7. I just can't bring myself to turn off the light....

I'm struggling to grow under 4, 4'flouro tubes all the way thru (cool blues at that, yeah I'm a masochist) but I used a 18/6 and vegged for 2 months (like I said I used tubes. lol) but the growth was fantastic undertubed flouros on a 18/6 i agree, plants do their goodies at noght, during the day they absorb energy andd just grow upwards. at night they produce the good stuff inside so a little rest never hurt anyone.
