Vegetation 18 to 24 hours are okay (since MJ is a C3 plant)... when flowering it's recommended to 12/12 (light/dark)...

yes, some people opt to do that but really it is no to great advantage that has been proven. The clear disadvantage is the plants have no down time (in which they tend to do most of their growing or growth spurts) and u will have a higher electricity bill.

until now i grow in vegetation period light 18/6 and in the flowering time 12/12...but i want to try 24/24 in vegetation period. 24/24 light does not adversely affect on plants in the vegetation ?? negative effects on plants ??

I'm currently experimenting with 24hours (among other things) as of now compared to 18/6...

no, its okay to try it out, it will not hurt the plants in any way, although personally if I wanted to experiment with this it would be only with clones. Reason being: one of the ways u can improve ur chances of having female plants from seed is by opting for a little less light. light between 14-16 hrs. in veg, compared to 18-6, tends to produce more females...so the experts say And again, there has been no proven benefit to 24 hr. lighting.

Plants need rest too. Roots grow when it is dark and cool. More roots = bigger healthier plants and buds
