You mean run it for 24/0 and every 10 hours it switches off for 2??

if so, No you dont want to mess wit hthe light cycle like that it will stress the plant out, and probly will stunt growth..
imo..

I did that before and they didn't seem to care. I mean they looked like they vegged ok .I went on to flower as regular, 12/12 and no hermies or anything.

I wouldn't follow Patllp's advice. Plants are nature, nature doesn't have broken up lighting cycles. I doubt his or her claim as well.

Im not singling out anyone, but fighting over the internet is stupid and very immature.
Some methods can work but are not 100 percent perfect like the others
like i love to water the hell out of my plants with nutes(i've never had problems, but others have)
I got the advice i needed,so i thank EVERYONE for their input

How can I prove it? Show you a field of pot? You can't prove you are 100 right either. PROVE IT

I don't think it matters, whether 18/6 or 20/4 or 22/2 or 24/0, to the plants. They will photosynthesize the light when it is on. Of course, the longer the light is on, the more growth you'll see, but there is a very small difference between 18 hours and 24 hours, so I use 18.

If you want to interrupt the dark cycle during veg, it won't hurt the plants, or stress them, or induce hermies.

Well its 3 peeps say it doesn't matter to your 2. My comment was not advice. It was what I experienced, just a statement.

Photo's would be pointless. Drop the pipe and think about it.
