The only real argument I've read for not vegging 24/7 is to save on money. I'm not sure how much much of a difference you would see though vegging say 18-6 vs 24-0. Good luck!

According to Ed Rosanthal you will get 25% more growth by runnung lights 24/7 opposed to 18/6. I usually run my veg room 24/7 but have it on 18/6 right now because I have clones for outdoors in there.(damn frost, I'm waiting to plant outdoors).I haven't noticed any real difference though, maybe a little slower growth,but nothing to worry about. It may only affect electric bill.

they say do a 24/7 for the first week or 2 to get good foliage growth out of the seedling...when its placed in 18/6, the plant begins to work on root growth.....not really sure..

I think 25% is rather generous.

i disagree. being i biologist plants need a time to rest after a days work. thing about nature there isn't light on 24/7 plants have adapted to time to rest. 18/6 gives time for plant to process sugars ect.

don't believe me look it up. many people on here will agree with me
