Well from what I've read about different cycles like 24/0 or 18/6 for veg and 12/12 or 11/13 or 10/14 for flower.
Most things I've read is people do that to save electricity. But in nature days are longer and shorter on a curve. So that's how the plant evolved. The sun doesn't stay up for 18 hours and then switch to 12 hours the next day. Our goal as growers is to mimic nature. And maybe try to force it.
Personally I have my veg at 24/0 only because I broke my timer. Stepped on it.
I still have another few weeks till I switch to flower. But if I did have my timer I would be running 18/6 for veg.
For this run in flower I'm going to 14/10 for a week, 13/11 for a week, 12/12 for 2 weeks 11/13 till harvest.
That's just what I'm doing.
