But to answer your question, I've SEEN plenty of people do it, so I don't see why you'd have a problem with it. Good luck man

They will show you much love,grow with many more head sites,and in good time too. Only down point is cost.

Absolutely. Weed is a C3 plant so it doesn't process CO2 when lights are off and will actually process as much light as you can give it, and it doesn't "sleep."


Autos however sometimes appear to stress under constant light.

Simply put: Yes.

My current grow has been under 24/0 T5s for ~5 weeks now,
My mothers have been under 24/0 600W MH for months now,
and my clones have 100% survival under 24/0 flourescent tubes.

I'm still on the fence as to whether I prefer 24/0 or 12/1 for veg.

Foil can focus the light to one point, so it can burn your plant

i put my seedlings, rooted clones, and cuttings in cloner machine under 24/7 t8 6500k bulbs for a while now. about 3 weeks for the seedlings, and about 2 weeks for the clones and cuttings. gonna be switching to my 600w 18/6 next week after i up-pot the seedlings and clones into 3 gallon pots.

I usually start out 24/0 and then am too lazy to change it to 18/6.
The idea that a cannabis plant needs to "sleep" is not supported by science.

24/0 doesn't seem to stress the plants and promotes continual growth. They don't need to sleep.
