From what I'm understanding here, is that lights on is kind of sort of for root growth and during lights off it's plant growth.......? It's ok Pigeon, ramblings are better than silence lol

Nutrient Uptake - Day and Night
Most plants take up nutrients by both day and night. With night time being the more dominant side. Commercial hydroponic growers of 'heavy feeder' crops such as cucumbers and tomatoes, experience higher nutrient uptake in the evening and into the night as the temperatures cool down the plants are able to take up more water and nutrients through increased root pressure and more suitable environmental conditions. Warmer conditions during the day, the plant will shut down photosynthesis and transpiration and thus reduce nutrient uptake, and will then feed rapidly in the evening as conditions become cooler. Calcium is taken up during the night when root pressure allows more water uptake and transpiration within the plant, carrying with it calcium into plant tissue.
for about a year and a half now, I have been running 24. I must have seen better results, since I'm still doing it. My memory isn't the best, so I should try the 18/6 again to see. Would I bee fucking the plants up, since at this point they have been under 24 for 3 months ? I'm guessing probably not since they handle the flip...
I'll smoke to that!
