Since light seems to be a major factor in the end of the flowering stage, would turning the cycle to 24 hrs on hurt the plant? I dont want to send it into shock or harm it.

So what say ye all?

I heard if its flowering and you change from 12/12 it will go back to veg

I'm 100% sure it will hurt your plant. Your plants will need time to rest and catch some ZzZz. I've seen and heard of plants doing worst in 24/0 than 20/4 and 18/6. They need rest just like you my brother. Later

It will halt the flowering process and start to reveg your plant/s... It's not the amount of time light hits the plant/s, it's how much light is hitting your plant/s in the alotted time. :weed:

...actually, no they don't.....your plants will grow in a veg state when they are under 24/0 light, grow and grow and grow....theoretically forever, but won't flower until they get long sleep daily.....I've been running my veg 24/0 for quite some time.

Try a 20/4 or 18/6 and see if you get better results. Even though your plants are in veg they still need rest bud. Resting will very ideal to heal stress from topping and lsting. Explain your 24/0 side now. I like debate nice clean debating

...only a flowering plant needs rest bud. My veg has had 24/0 for over 5 years. Here's a few shots of my mothers.....ABSOLUTELY NO SLEEP....EVER....there's nothing to debate, I have proof they need no sleep to veg.
