I've followed a few forum debates about it. I'm also watching a lecture by Dr. Bugbee in which he claims the plants continue to increase in size as the light increases, even beyond the light intensity from the sun. I don't know how plant size (i.e., yield) relates to potency, however.In the 80s/90 this was well debated and some
In the end someone did a scientific test on 24/7 vs 18/6 and you do get 15% more growth witch was backed up by jorge Cervantes
The test was done on photoperiods veg growth so how it translates to autos/flowering under 24/7 not so sure
Anyway, I find the light intensity and duration discussion interesting. My initial impression was that plants in general would need a dark period because they evolved as we did on a planet with night. But now, after learning more about these plants, I'm thinking maybe that's not true for cannabis. Eventually, it becomes a return-on-investment issue. Will the cost of the next added watt of power provide better, the same or worse yield or potency? How do we decide whether to add or not to add that next watt? I'm not expecting answers. It's just interesting to me.
