What are the benfits to 24/7 compared to 18/24? From what I've read please correct me if I'm wrong plants will grow more on a 18/24 cycle. Something about the grow more when the light are off.

lights 18/6 for different reasons, reduce power consumption, reduce wear and tear on equipment, give plants a rest (more natural that way), less stress.

suppose the argument for 24 would be more growth....

18/6 - Saves on electricity bill.
24/0 - Simple setup, no need for timers

Neither will give a significant yield improvement over the other, although a study has shown that 20/4 does increase yield somewhat.

EDIT: I was mistaken, apparently. 18/6 will yield slightly better than 24/0, at least according to the guy who did the experiments, OT1. 20/4 did perform the best overall though. Link to my old post on this here.
