experience , 18 hours stronger roots, 24 big plants !,, who gices a fuck about roots ? so grow them fast make money and use those poles to hold the plants up during flowering, also ,put a fan on them 24 hours a day and that forces them to root better , huge difference, my opinion only people that use 18 hours don't want to make money, they want to save electric, the cannabis plant DOES NOT NEED REST it grows 24 hours a day. were not growing in the 50 or 60 were high tech new an better ways are learned, you have to change to survive expecialy in this business,

stronger roots equal bigger colas. large root mass grows plants to their potential. stick around you might learn something kid.

Ive tired it both ways and from my experience 24/0 does make your electric go up. I didn't see an increase in yield so I still go with 18/6. And it's not about making money greed will pull you straight down.Shut the light for 4 hours versus 24/24 will cost you more on your energy bill. It's more costly when you on/off your ballast, I Live in Canada we don't realy check electricity bill herebut someone who realy know electricity tell me that.

They ruin a lot of weed too. Those people are the type to use garbage compactors to squish the weed into this block of garbage that people are still doing time for.

Totally right mr !! Roots are the engine of the plant,, it's like porsche 911 versus 911 turbo they look similar butttt.

grow 18 not making big profits, grow 24 make profits, before you post about 18 hour lighting mabe you should read about the cannabis plant , don't tell people incorrect, info because you never decided to take the time learn about your crop, cannabis plant ( does not need rest ) no if ands or butts !

I really thirst for knowledge, i did both 24/24 and 18/6 never notice anything except bigger leaf and shorter plant when they sleep, now i dont realy have schedule for my veg room, i shut the light when i need to do something or cooling the place. Any 24/24 pro's could tell me (us) the real deal to do 24/24 ??

Weed is a C3 plant so as long as the light is on it will photosynthesizing. It does not need to sleep with an exception seeming to be some autos, which just don't grow right under constant light. I repeat Cannabis DOES NOT "SLEEP" or even gather C02 (or breath) when the lights are out. The 24 hr light seems to keep the plants tight during veg.

I grew under 24 for many years...
If you keep a mother for more than a few years it really take a toll on her.
If you are just growing seeds and flowering then it is fine... supposedly you get more males.
Plants barely kick in to flowering quicker... but I believe they do just a little bit when going from 24/0 to 12/12.
So, if it tells you anything, I grew 24/0 for years and am no longer doing it..

Long veg time equates to bigger more potent yields...my 10 gallon containers are root filled come harvest...24/0 veg

It is a 2010 HIGHLY performance modified along the lines of a 930 ruf with modern tech of course

indeed incorrect...it is the firing of the bulb which deteriorates the electrodes much faster than use...light bill? Who the fuck worries bout a fucking light bill

I think it depends on what you are doing... If you are just growing some clones or seeds you got and throwing them into flower then 24 hr is harmless and I do believe gives you faster veg growth.
In the end, whatever works for you work for you. It's easy to get obsessed over these little things that in the end have little effect on your product. Time is probably better spent sweeping your grow room floor (sanitary/pest control) than researching photoperiods beyond 16+ veg and 12 hr darkness for flower.
If you are holding multiple mothers or breeding, it can have effects on your garden... Here is a snippet of a DJ short article.
BY DJ SHORT, NOT ME.
""After many years of first-hand experience breeding herb indoors as well as outdoors, I am of the opinion that the two most influential factors involving phenotypic variation and expression among current indoor herb breeding projects are the photoperiod (hours of light per day) and the angle of light in relationship to the growing plant.
Specifically, I find the single most powerful influence to the Indica dominant phenotype is the traditional 18/6 veggie cycle and 12/12 flowering cycle. The 18/6 veggie and 12/12 flower cycle is an attempt, however poor, to mimic the Indica-producing photoperiod. It is my belief that this light cycle strongly influences for Indica phenotypic expression.
Sativa phenotype characteristics will manifest under a more equatorial photoperiod, closer to a 13/11 veggie cycle and an 11/13 flower cycle. This is the light timing range to use to elicit more Sativa dominant expression from your plants."
