Bottom line is plants grow when the lights are on....24hrs is best. You might be paying more, but your vegging time is shorter, so they cancel each other out.
My plants definately grow during the dark period, alot of the energy produced during photosythesis is stored and used at other times like at night during respiration....
75%-90% of breathing when the lights are out, nothing like throwing out some random fake % for the fun of it

just something i learned in a botany class. no need to be rude about it. do some reaserch and you will find that i'm not far off with those pecentages. the point is that the plants does most of it respiration at night. my brother also has his degree in turf and soil science. he swears that 24 hr veg cycle is not beneficial. it may not be harmful either, but it's not ideal.
SupraSPL said:I read the big book of buds and I have to say there was a good amount of misinformation in there, especially relating to strain histories. I felt like I was reading someones internet forum growing guide (which I very much enjoy all of them). Fact is some of the things written are up for debate though.
Supra said:It makes sense that equatorial sativas would be more likely to benefit from a short rest period than indica doms.
SupraSPL said:Unfortunately a bunch of clones started to flower under 16/8. No bid deal they switched back but now I run 20/4 and that seems to work for every strain regardless
SupraSPL said:From the small amount of botany I studied, plants consume CO2 and expel O2 during lights on but during lights out photosynthesis ceases, so it is good to shut down CO2 systems at night.
I remember reading somewhere that a plants root system breathes oxygen at night and during the day it used Co2.
I may be wrong though.
