How long can...

How long can a plant endure 24/0 lighting?

you could Veg with 24 hours of light the whole time if you wanted, but she likes to get at least some darkness; I think 18/6 is perfect personally for Veg. Aut0-Dwarfs on the otherhand love 24 hours constant through it's whole life cycle

I agree, I'm personally partial to 18/6 think plants should have a rest period.

Until you get tired of watering it.

you could Veg with 24 hours of light the whole time if you wanted, I don't think he's asking in terms of "the short run", I think he's talking in terms of "the long run". Like with Mother plants, how many "YEARS" can you keep them, like that.I don't use the 24/7 method myself, but it would be interesting to find out!

That is interesting I wasn't thinking of that. I heard of people keeping mother plants on 24 hrs of light for long stretches so they will always stay in Veg for cloning purposes.

Yeah the plants need like 18 hours to remain in the vegetative state, so more than that is optional. 18/6 is perfect, but so is 24/0 for some grows.
