keeping light on?

Hi there thanks for reading.

Wanted to know if it was ok to keep my t5 light on, when my hps turns off for the 6 hours. I am currently am in second week of veg. Do the plants need that 6 hours of darkness. Or again will keeping that t5 light on affect the plants in any negative way. Im thinking that it may help for faster growth.

Thank you again for helping!

if u keep the t5 on then you may aswell keep the hps on

Although The Answer In This Case Would Be To Tern Both Off .!

In veg once you go to a 18/6 cycle you dont want to add more hours of light to that cycle only go down, but if you are going to do a 24/0 cycle then just leave both the HPS and T5 on. I personally dont like a 24 hr veg period I like the 18/6 I think the plants need darkness to carry out processes. They dont get 24hrs light in the outdoors so no reason they should get indoors in my opinion. I havnt ever noticed plants with 24hr growing anymore than plants with 18/6 if anything they grow slower. Go 18/6 then down to your 12/12 when you are ready to flower.
