Imo its all DLI you need to reach an intensity that maximes growth and supplies enough photons over the light period. Plant health is absolutely huge in a plants ability in terms of photosynthetic rates… as are all environmental factors. Take co2 for instance, it can greatly improve the plants photosynthetic rates under the right conditions.
Now if you dont have an intense enough light or optimal photosynthetic rates you may see a benefit from an extra hour of exposure.
Its all about the DLI and thisbis why an auto run on 24 hr light with half the intensity will produce just as much as an auto run 12/12 with double the intensity provided its photosynthetic rates are adequate
