20/4 vegetative light cycle

[twentyeight.threefive]

OK then they get "rest". Plants need rest.

Plants don't need rest either. If they did, then 24/0 light schedule wouldn't work.

I'm not saying it wouldn't work. When did I say that? I'm talking about over all health of a pot plant. I'm sure 24 makes them grow. Never said it didn't.

U must not have much of a life to be arguing the stupidest points u can make.

I'm so glad u said all that. I've been looking everywhere for comments on 20/4 and all I find is 24/0 comments. I'm a new grower but I've found my plants reacted better to 20/4 than 18/6. I would never force any living thing to be awake 24 hours a day. I'm sorry but that can't be healthy for a plant. With everything you will lose something by trying to gain speed.

You think plants are conscious?

 

[Smitty2323]

I think it's a living thing. Never said it was thinking or talking bro!!!

Plants are switched on from germ start to death harvest… metabolizing day and night .

No “ my pillows “
No “ Beauty Sleep “

But i will ask them .. cuz their in the kitchen making me some flapjacks !

Still no, plants grow quite happy under 24hrs of continuous light.

Plants need rest.

I'm not arguing a stupid point. I'm correcting your incorrect statements. Other people read these responses other than you and wouldn't want them to read incorrect information.

All I'm saying is I went to a 20/4 light cycle instead of 18/6 and increased my yield 30%. I just have a hard time believing leaving lights on a plant 24/7 is the best thing for a plant we care so much about.

 

[Smitty2323]

If I'm wrong I'm OK with that. I thought a forum of pot heads would be more willing to communicate if it meant better product.

C3 plants. google that

 

[Smitty2323]

I haven't made an incorrect statement. Don't run lights 24/7.

 

[rkymtnman]

increased my yield 30%

only if you did a side by side with same clones on differnt light cycles. then you could show proof. if not, bro science.

 

[Smitty2323]

That's exactly what I did. 2nd generation now. First was 18/6 and they did well. 2nd was 20/4 and it increased 30%. I'm growing white widow now from seed at 20/4.

If you think most of us have not tried it all you're not thinking very hard.

But you did make an incorrect statement.

Plants don't need rest.

Don't run lights 24/0? The information is based off of what fact?

 

[hotrodharley]

That's exactly what I did. 2nd generation now. First was 18/6 and they did well. 2nd was 20/4 and it increased 30%. I'm growing white widow now from seed at 20/4.

You have not had that many crops. Don't even have to ask.

 

[Smitty2323]

I will try 1 plant at 24/7 just to see. I use grow tents so everything will be consistent

 

[rkymtnman]

That's exactly what I did. 2nd generation now. First was 18/6 and they did well. 2nd was 20/4 and it increased 30%.

that's not a side by side. no way were your conditions exactly the same from grow 1 to grow 2.

 

[Smitty2323]

And I've read alot of facts against 24/7. Plants grow during dark periods. What facts have u got for 24/7.
