Yup, faster growth. More light equals a higher rate of photosynthesis.

Well, this is why I was suggesting keeping your mother in dirt instead of hydro. Way less maintenance.
If your wanting to keep it in DWC your going to need to get a PPM meter as well as a pH meter to know when to add nutes/water/pH up or down. You don't need to change the bucket everyday. Once a week at the most.
I really think that you may want to do some more research on DWC and hydroponics in general. I get the feeling you don't have a full grasp on all of the details of how to monitor nutrient levels and ways of maintaining optimum conditions yet.

well i have a hanna ppm/ph/edc meter i understand the concept of the meter and reading it. now i was told by one of the guys at the hydro store he says roughly to me when my plant is around 6-8 inches have ur ppm set to around 600-800 and so on . 10in boost to roughly 1000ppm but not to go over 1400ppm. please if this is not nearly correct feed me the advice i dont want to be wasting these precious beans. DWC seam easy enough ive been running an ebb and flow for a lil while now and have been somewhat happy with the outcome of my flowers for a crappy bag seed strain. i did the bag seed to try an get the hang of feeding times, nut levels etc, i never have a ph prob i have been able to keep a constant 5.8 for the 2 week period b4 i would water change. nute level would climb a lil due to water level going down so i would add fresh water and make sure that my ph was good and left it at that. Ive been reading all types of threads and still havnt understood few things about the nutes. if you point me in the right direction id appriciate it. Kinda looking to understandhow much during groth do i need to use i guess, i mean ive had luck in past but wondering if i was doing right for best resaults.

Well what exactly are you not getting about nutrients?? Specific questions??
As far as how much to feed, my opinion is to just keep upping the ppm slowly until you start to see signs of burn, then back off a bit. No one is going to be able to tell you exactly how much your plant's are gong to be able to handle. It's a trial and error that will tell you that.
