Does 24 hours/day of light work better for the veg stage or not? ....some say yes, but I've never tried as it seems so unnatural.....welcome to my comparison
I have two grow rooms with as close of conditions/environments that I can achieve with my limit resources.
I used seeds from a hermie plant, as I figure this will level the playing field for consistency
I germinated 12 seeds and will continue with the top 10 ...five will receive 24/0 and the other five will get 16/8 hours of light/darkness. (I choose 16/8 to maximize the contrast).
I've used solo cups in hempy (perlite/vermiculite) with a soil cap/core and will use the basic Lucas formula
I will veg for about 4 weeks using CFL & LED bulbs, then will move all the plants into a flower room (12/12) under a 600 watt HPS.
Please remember this is just "my comparison", your results may vary

16F has failed to pop....looks like it's a dead player, so it will get voted off the island first
