It was suggested to you over 25 years ago and you want to try it, just haven't had the chance yet?
Who's the troll?
Your "local hydro guy" found a such a ground breaking discovery which is why everyone uses that schedule today.

I do 24/0 for the first 4 weeks with autos. From there i switch to 18/6. I try to jump start the veg as much as possible in to establish. Also helps with the cooler months to have 24 on. I grow in a garage.
With Photos i start with 18/6 and then 12/12 for flower.

And what did that article have to say about it?

If I remember correctly the 24hr light/12hr dark cycle took longer to finish. They did a 6 on 12 off. Quicker but reduced yields.
Something like that. Long time ago lol.

24/7 for the first few days of sprout.
20/4 until the first set of true leaves.
18/6 after that.
16/8 for about 10-14 days before flower.
12/12
11/13 final week of flower.

24/7 veg. 12/12 flower. It works fine and I don't have to screw with reprogramming timers or need a dark room for my vegging plants.

Same here. I can go from 24/7 to 12/12 by pushing 1 button.

I now let the sun decide. Stopped growing indoors about 7 years ago. Power here is terrible expensive. I was always 16/8 only because it was less peak time usage and no noticeable loss in yield that I could see.

That doesn't surprise me, I'd expect that it would require CO2 in order to work.

you don't need a dark room in veg, interrupting its dark cycle has no long-term ill effects

Transition faster and stretch less with 24hr veg. Make sure light comes with a dimmer.
I use the KISS factor ……follow what nature does…. Clone and seeds I’ll do the 24 hr…. Veg 16/8 …. Flower 12/12 …. I do have dimmers on my LEDS , so when I’m finishing I’ll dime the lights back like in fall where the sun is not as bright per day ….. what ever works for you .
