Oh but they should be off more than six hrs cause they r my plants

Plants cannot utilise more than 16 hrs daylight research shows.

Sure outside they get more than 16 hrs light. But not direct light that makes photosynthesis our non stop. In nature there is shade and clouds...

This is an indica dominant strain. I have many diff strains sativa dominant included none have started to flower under 16/8

They say over six hrs or dark can trigger flowering but I actually use 16/8 and haven't seen that happen. I'd say 16/8 is the most efficient veg cycle electric cost and growth rates factored in

However I have so data to back this prob never will

But when I run 18/6 or 24 hrs after about 16 hrs of light they start to droop some of em.. they can't photosynthesis any longer...

Plus npk scientist Harley Smith says in their research which was recent, say plants cannot use more than 16 hrs light indoors. I'm rolling with his input obviously

Input appreciated tho

Yes but if their my plants they will get only 6 hrs of light cause I have seen data saying 18 hrs of light can be used buuuuuut this doesn't mean shit in this case cause wether or not the plant is not efficiently using the light for growth it still tells the plant what time of the year it is and when not to flower. Marijuana Grower's Handbook P.127

In most cases your fine with a 16/8 buuuuut I have seen strains that will flower with 8 hrs of dark. Strains that do this crap are usually pain in the ass strains to grow. Mikado, Thai as examples.
