Quick question when i started my grow 6 weeks ago i started on a balcony, but moved inside under a grow tent under 600 watt led where i went with a 18/6 light schedule but in the past 3 days i switched to a 24 hour light schedule. Is this okay or should i go back to the 18/6?

Its definitley ok to switch back,personally I wouldnt fluctuate it so rapidly. Id also look into switching to 12/12 semi soon.

12 hours on 12 hours off. It simulates the change of season,plants think its fall so they start to flower. I said you might want to start flowering, semisoon.

ONLY because you could potentially have a big ass plant if you keep it in vegetative hours. (24\0, 18\6)
