    i have them under a t5 on 24.7 for couple week before upgrading light and givin them some dark

    go easy on how close that led is though you see people do more harm than good with it up close. most leds have different manufacture recommendations for light distances at different stages of the growth

    I don't know joker, the plant needs those six hours dark, to rest, and grow roots. Whilst the light is on, the plant works on growing the greenery, when it's off, more energy gets spent growing roots. In those early stages you want to encourage root growth as much as possible. You want, atleast, 4 hours dark, but six is always recommended. Don't just grow plants, grow roots ;-)

    i do coz i do every time lol, each to there own.... there still growing roots with lights on they go searching for food when lights on which encourages the root mass

    and also it would depend more so if it photo or auto, as you know autos can do 24/0 all way through cycle.

    True that mate, I've done it with autos, but never photos, when I've got enough to sit on for an experimental one, I'll give it a shot

    I suppose having temps at a constant is a good thing and will help all round. Especially in winter, can get a bit cold with the lights off if you're not watching the temps

    Is there an issue with vegging feminised seeds (non-auto) on a 24 hour light cycle?

    None at all fella. Most of my photo grows have been 24 hours on because I'm usually finishing and auto whilst vegging my photo. 😉
