i sometimes forget to turn my vegg room off - so its 24/0 , other days 18/6 makes no difference imo.. some ppl say roots grow when its dark , so i guess im growing plants with no roots , damn im good

Haha I wonder sometimes, I will feel it when I come upstairs and want sex if she says no. I found it warm a few times, it is that good at least according to her (and my nuts).

You havent seen my girlfriends vibrator then. She is fat, I mean extra fat with a few double chins, and rolls of belly. Her vibrator is big too, it has a ballast to convert electricity from the wall socket. When she needs to make it portable... she carries two Truck batteries in her fat back pack and jumper cables. I just flipped her fat ass to 12/12 cuz she is running up the utilities bill.

I prefer to use 18/6 for the following reasons in the vegetative period.

1. It uses 42 less hours of light per week, which saves on electricity.
2. 18/6 more closely mimics nature than 24 hours of continuous light.
3. It gives your lights a chance to break from being on 24/7.


24 hours of light will not make your plant go male nor is it bad at all. I actually use 24/0 sometimes for the first week of veg.

Then why is she with you? If your girl needs such a big vibrator that it needed a ballats to power it surely no man could please her? lol

I am about 3.5 weeks into veg and have been running them 24/7(thought it would increase speed of growth) reading this would it be a good idea to switch them to 18/6 now or just wait for the cycle to be done and do the switch for the next batch of seeds? would it hurt, stunt, or set them into flowering doing it now?
