For sure man. Hey heres a quote from a post I made on HempRockets page making my argument for the 24 cycle as follows. Let me know what you think!
In a week there is 7 days, so in 7 days there are 168 hours (7X24) so lets say 2 random people...lets call one john and ther other jerry. Lets say john and jerry are both growing plants but only for a week. john chooses the 24 hour cycle while jerry chooses the 18on 6 off cycle.
So they both grow for 7 days (168 hours)
Though theres a signifigant difference in there grows.
Johns plant has had light for a constant 168 hours while jerrys light has only been on for 126 hours, a full 42 hours less than john, so jerry basically had is plant in submission 2 out of the 7 days allowed. I GUARANTEE that if growing the same strain perfectly with the same exact nutes and everything was perfect in an unperfect world like it should be then Johns plant will be bigger. And my main point in all of this is that in all likeliness I would make the assumption that jerry would need to grow his plant for an extra 42 hours to get his plant to the same size as johns plant. Now take this idea and expand it over the coarse of a month which is how long I veg and thats why I do it this way. I figure if i get there faster I can start a new plant sooner get paid sooner ect.
The only thing I can see fucking this up is that I realized in the middle of writing this that Electricity is more expensive durring the day than it is at night. Which is why you could save probably 5 bucks a YEAR switching to the 18/6. I'd rather have the speed than the 5 or 10 bucks. And keep my plants warm. But thats my friendly argument. I am open to friendly feirce debate! So who can persuade my ass differently!?
Best,
