theres no facts either way, nothing is proven.
It is growers personal preference, me? im just to lazy to buy extra timers for those lights, plus I like to go and view mothers any time I want.
Its just easier to leave it on for the extra 6.
this debate has been going on for decades were not gonna prove ne thing here.

During the summer solstice, the North Pole has a 24-hour day and the South Pole has a 24-hour night.
But nothing grows there.
But in my opinion the plants do need dark period, plants need rest too.

If cannabis were vegged in soil under a greenhouse dome in a perfectly simulated enviroment suitable to its need. There may be data that suggests otherwise.
Like I said this debate has been going on for decades.
Sorry about the Hijack, not too off topic I hope.
So im unsure of what photoperiod I want to give my plants, The 2 predominant ones out there are:
18hrs Light | 6hrs Dark
or
24hrs Light | 0hrs Dark
Does anyone have any deeper knowledge or experience to comment on a 20hr Light | 4hr Dark cycle?
One thing you should remember though is, once you pick your light cycle, stick to it.
swapping light cycles, or allowing dark to reach your plants at lights out puts undue stress on your plants and can possibly turn them into Hermaphrodite plants (male and female(self polinating)) = seeds not buds
