when you go 18/6 the plants will stretch during the dark as they are searching for the light.
i do 2 weeks at 24/0 and grow low bushy trees and then switch to 18/6 for another 2 weeks to get some height/stretch on them before starting my 12/12.
and as for the source of the info i have tried and tested it may times(personall experiences)
works a treat.

I've learned alot from your posts, so a question (for your opinion), if I may. I have severly beaten my little ones, PH problems that can't be resolved as my new ph testor isn't here yet, nuted them too early, burned them. Under LED panels, they looked ok, but a little stretched, so I asked around about using my HPS for veg, and used it... got heat stress and possibly burned from the light which slipped on it's yo-yo's to be too low to the plants. They look horrible, but they have new growth, that is kinda green, a good sign.. that's the background, now the question..
should I leave the 24 cycle to keep them growing, or drop to 18/6 to let them repair? There are others out here too and I respect other's opinions, but I figure if I have Luda's attention, I may as well ask.
Thanks alot, and I won't post again, sorry don't wanna jack your thread man.
