I know the more light you got the better , but is it the same for the light cycles?

would i notice much difference using 24hr lights on compared to 18hr/6hr?
if so would the difference be good, or bad?

I like 18/6 but that's me when I ran 24/0 plants seemed to like to droop the last 5 hours but since I switched to 18/6 they don't droop. atleast I don't see it.

The good you save power on your Electric bill , the bad you use more power. I personally use the 18/6 the only time I do 24/0 is the first few weeks of germinating under a florescent the after the 2nd set of leaves I put then under a 400mh with a 18/6 cycle.

i think this subject is down to preference honestly... i don't think it really matters. if you want to buy a timer for your veg to save some bucks on electric do it, if your lazy like me, just leave the shit on... lol

i do have a timer but am only running 250w mh (will be switching to hps once its time to flower) so i dont think power usage will be that 'great' of an issue... i hope!

advantages of 18/6 or 20/4, ect as opposed to 24hrs are temperature control (lights out during hottest part of day), savings on electricity and it has been said that the plant will concentrate on root production during the dark period. I do 18/6.
