In my personal opinion I think that 24/0 is the best and have seed 25%increase in the plants grown on the 24/0 opposed to the 18/6 cycle. Some people say after 18 hours of light the plant doesnt take in any more energy. Well that is true but only in the flowering and pre flowering stage is this the case. While in veggie stage the more light the more growth. They both work fine but if you start with one keep doing it. Just make sure when flowering to go 12/12.
Ok mr. smart guy, let's see your 25% increase. Your such full of shit. Using 24/0 and then switching to 18/6 WILL NOT cause the plants to start flowering, and won't put that much stress on them. Plants need rest too, do you think when plants grow in the wild they get constant light? Nope. You have nothing to back up your statements, except bullshit lies. Even if you did do tests, they would never be 100% correct since no two plants are alike, even clones will vary in height, yield, etc.
