lol nugget action. you want some nuggets??? all WHITE MEAT??? fat juicy and tender??? then go to mc donalds mudasucka. anyway lol no I dont trust that 24/0 shit. I've been told oh its all good I get bigger plants. Fuck that. My root structure grows fast with 18/6 and gets more water than 24/0. this is just my opinion do not crucify me weed god. lord haveth mercy for people who thinketh differently.

Its meant to mimic whats termed as a harvest moon or autumn equinox... has to do with earth tilt or some such thing and the lights spectrum and intensity... IMO..

I know you have experience way more than me but do you do the 24/0 through out the whole veg process? I just don't like leaving it on 24/0.

No... I do anything from 16/8...17/7...18/6...on same grow... I turn it off when I crash.. I have a small place and I like to sleep w/out the lights, and the safety thing...plus I don't really see mush difference and last year I tried both.. but thats me... in veg as long as you stay close to 2/3 light and 1/3 dark you're fine..

Cool thats exactly my mind set when it comes to 24/0. Thanks for the reply.

I usually go 24hrs straight light for the first week of veg... then I switch over to 18/6 until flower time....

when the light is 12 hours of darkness, the plant builds up a chemical that tells it to flower. then all the budding is still going on during the light cycle. it does nothing at night as far as growth. the leaves need light to produce energy for the buds
