    Default Best light cycle for Auto's under LED?

    I've just purchased a 100w COB LED light to go in my PC Grow Box and was wondering what the best light cycle to put it on would be?

    Cheers

    Anything 18/6 or over will be fine

    I'm doing 24/0 due to tempreature dropping below 10 when lights off. Have started a grow diary in LED sub forum here - https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?137553-LED-PC-Grow-Box

    Whilst a radiator is a good idea, it'll work out more expensive than leaving the lights on 24/7....

    Check out autolover12's epic grows. He's 24/7.

    A very different setup of course, but your power costs won't be much different if you're 18/20/24 etc. It's like not you have 1800w of ballast HPS.

    Perhaps check how cool your light is after say 12 hours solid running. If it's still all cool and groovy then why not 24 hours a day?
