From what I've learned, 18/6, 20/4, 24/0
It doesn't matter.
Its all about DLI, and optimizing that.
There is some argument a few hours of dark is good for a plant though
But DLI really dictates how many hours of light you give.
If you are pushing 650 ppfd with 18 hours of light, thats around 42 DLI and really good number.
But if you went to 24 hours, that would be 56 DLI. Those levels are too high without co2 enrichment and are a waste of light, electricity and money.

You also have water temp to take into consideration. Running lights 24/7 in DWC is a terrible idea IMO.

You need to lower water temp to at least 21C/69F when lights out to be on the safe side. Cheers!

I suppose it depends on how much needs to be treated. I use a combination of both (alternating of course). Isn't chlorine also a descaler?
