Light and Dark

[Kegan]

Most people say they give their plants 18 hours a day of light and 6 hours of darkness. I heard the more light you give the plant each day the more mature it will be before it's time to harvest. Could I give them 24 hours of light though? Then they'd be very mature and better when I harvest. Or do they need some darkness (kinda like we need sleep)?

yea you can put in 24 but 16 hours is sufficient any more than that shows no significant change in growth... also to increase tha amount of females during dark period give them like 1 hour of light in da middle.

you can do 24 hours up until the time you want them to flower......then you can put them down to 12-12 (mind you it can be otherways..thats just what I personally found to be the best) If you keep the lights on 24/7 forever your plant will never bud.

Oh and whatever you do don't do that 1 hour thing the above person said. Changing the light cycle in that fashion will totally screw up your plants. 1 hour less or more in the cycle isn't gonna change the amount of females. Its like human life - you are or you aren't. Can't do much bout that
