Im super against the 24 hours of light, if you wanna know why its long to explain, I will say that they do very important stuff that they cannot do during the day. If I had any doubt that those buds were mostly fluff now I know for sure. Anyway, take a look at this
The Importance of the Dark Cycle for Growing Cannabis - RQS Blog
Darkness is just as important as light for the health of your cannabis plants. Click here to learn all about why cannabis plants need darkness to grow.
I know they mention feminized seeds only at first, just read what the plant does during night and later on they mention autos, I quote:
"Autoflowering cannabis plants are derived from Cannabis ruderalis, a unique cannabis variety that flowers based on age rather than in response to light cycle changes. Since autos are not photoperiodic, many growers have been led to believe that these varieties can (or even should) be grown under 24 hours of light from seed to harvest in order to maximise plant growth and yields. However, we advise against this.
As we saw at the beginning of this article, many key plant processes occur during the dark phase. Moreover, nowhere on Earth except the Arctic (where cannabis doesn't grow naturally) do we see plants exposed to 24 hours of light per day. And we tend to think that nature knows best, which is why we choose to grow autos under a 18/6 light/dark cycle, and recommend you do the same."
