Veg 18/6 or 24/7

Everyone always says 18/6 light cycle in veg but a guy i got all my equipment from said he ran his 24/7..

does it help the plants a lot to have that 6 hour resting time??

Sure it does,it slows the plants metabolism to better intake nutrients,and to push all of the cells to do what the nutes are telling it to do.Although you will hear opinions that differ,this is mine,based on 18 yrs. of experience

I personally like the 20/4 light schedule than moving to 18/6 2 weeks or so before flowering them. 24/0 doesn't allow for proper root growth many have argued. all opinions as stated above.

true that,I also will use a 20/4 for clones,they root in 5 to 8 days,as opposed to 10-14 under 24/0.But only my clones,my seedlings still get 24/0 for the first week.

Thanks guys good Info much appreciated, didnt know about the nute intake and about the roots.

think ill go with 20/4 till i turn on my hps then 18-6

glad we could help
