Yep, MJ is a C3 plant, which means, as long as the lights are on, it will photosythesize and grow...BUT..when you turn light out for a couple hours it does help develop stronger roots and new shoots, not too mention when I put my girls in dark for 24 hours before harvest, the buds seem to explode with growth...so blowincherrypie, while you are right to an extent, we are here to help one another, not play king of the sandbox, so chill smoke and be happy, cuz it's always a preference for lighting schedules...I use 24/0 for first 4 weeks, then switch to 18/6 for another 4 weeks of veg, then of course 12/12 for flower...but it's still just preference...and Budsworth.. The answer to your question is mother nature, unless you live in antartica you will have dark at night time for at least 6 hours in summer...
Plants also don't grow hydroponically in nature but we make it work. You're as lost as the op.
What are rice patties???
And seaweed and kelp and the list goes on, salt water fresh water....it's not just about MJ..we're talking Mother Nature ...the best grower of the universe...lmao...

Well Rik while you are right to an extent, you're also wrong. My statement is 100% right, not "to an extent." Plants don't need rest, they don't need dark and it has been proven that a plant vegged under 24 hr light will have more growth. This is not an opinion that I have, they are facts. Since weed is a C3 plant, it DOES NOT process C02 in the dark. I'm not saying the plants don't grow during dark hours, but the dude was stating the plants NEEDED REST and 24 hour light wasn't good. Why don't you help the person who's passing off half truth as the gospel and get off my nuts. Also, FYI the more recent info is that roots DO NOT grow any faster in the dark.
