Maybe so but for indoor grows a time scheduele that allows fro optimol production and yeild ina know faster pace does have its advantages.I always am impressed by those out door growers who can put so much time and effort into such long grows but have always figured if Im not growing an acre or more of bud I can get the same yeild indoors with 3 harvests in the same time period with 3 stages of succesfull satifaction without 60% of the effort or stress.Im a believer in the 24 hours on cycle for starting then a slow darking period following a more natural light cycle or season change but find the 24 hours gets me a jump start into real vegging.I do respect others preferences though so Im always saying if it works for you go for it if not maybe try what the other guy does.Good grows either way
