how important is it to keep ur lite on for 18 hrs in veg

justwondering iveheard so many things

Plants get shade probably daily in a lot of areas... storms, trees, who knows. Darkness periods induce flowering.

I'm not sure what your trying to ask, but when you start giving the plant 12+ straight hours of total darkness it will begin to flower.

hope that helps

It has to have MORE Light, than Darknesss to prevent early flowering.

It is all preference. I run mine 20/4.

what would happen if you kept your light on for 1 hour and have it for 3 hours off(long shaded part of the day??) or 2/2? 24/7 im curious as well

i think that the rest period really helps your plant grow. i have seen what happens both way and i belive that the 18/6 works the best. it depends on how you want your plant to grow also.

cuz ive heard keep it on 24/7 till flowering

I've done 7 grows, all were VEGGED 24/7 and grew very rapidly and very successfully.
I like it FAST.

kool me too

I'm trying 12/4. So far so good. They're starting to smell faintly.
