Are you sure you should be growing? Just kiddin' . . . I do 24/0 and it certainly seems to hasten veg, IMO.

this is one tough crowd. to be fair, there are light cycles recommended in advanced techniques growfaq

"Daylength of 21 hours, 36 minutes with a dark period of 12 hours"

that are longer than 24 hours. this is supposed to increase yield and creates 4 complete light cycles every 5 days

That would be 6 hours. When you see this 18/6 that is the photoperiod for 18 hours lights on and 6 hours lights off.

It works well but you have to plan your visits with you plant a little better. I prefer easy math so I don't forget and open the doors of my grow room.:mrgreen:

i haven't tried it but would consider it if it improved yield significantly. what kind of bump did you think you got from trying it???
