because teh plants need O2 during the dark cycle

make sure you stop the CO2 production in the dark cycle





What if you're giving them light 24/7?

i would think it's OK. IMO it's best to give them a dark cycle though (rest, root development etc) i don't think that plants can use up all the CO2 24/7

Erb posted something that seems to debunk the dark cycle during vegetative growth for rest and whatnot. Here's the thread:

C3 plants(cannabis/veggies) gather CO2 only during the light period when they are photosynthesizing. During the dark period these plants only use oxygen for their metabolic life processes. They don't uptake CO2 , nor do they use it. As soon and as long as the light is on, C3 plants gather and use CO2 for photosynthesis.

C3 plants also have the ability to use higher concentrations of CO2 than what is found in the air. If the light is bright enough and the plants have sufficient nutes, their growth rate will accelerate from it(2000ppm vs. 400ppm of CO2), which increases yield. They can do this continuously, without a dark period throughout the vegetative stage.

The "dark cycle" is kind of a misleading name. It doesn't take place solely in the dark, but rather it doesn't need light to occur. Photosynthesis on the other hand, obviously needs light. The construction of carbohydrates (the dark cycle) happens continuously, even in the light during photosynthesis.

My plants never see darkness until they are flowered, darkness during veg is a waste of time.

Would you suggest stopping CO2 production like someone did above? My friend is definitely keeping the light on 24/7 during veg. :thumbup:

i have grown both ways and dont really see a huge difference, the last time i grew i kept the light on 24 hrs a day for veg because i have found that the bulb dies/blows quicker when it is turning off and on more.

Timers also are a factor as they burn out over time. plants in veg don't need a dark period from what I've observed so why bother with it...

One thing I have noticed through a timer setting error is that plants veged on 24/0 will happily flower when reduced to 13.5/10.5 I think they'd flower on 14/10 and possibly even higher light periods. I changed my timer to 12/12 after discovering the error three weeks in but I'm tempted to run a whole flower cycle on 14/10 to see what happens. The possibility for increased yield is there to be explored.

Keep us posted. :smile: Is there the possibility that it will take longer to finish?
