The idea that keeping lights on for 24 hours means your plant gets more energy is an illogical one.

Plants go through a very specific process when the lights are off. Much like humans.

People have been studying plants of all kinds, with modern science, for many decades. Giving a plant 24 hours of light, unless the plant needs those specific conditions, which Marijuana does not, has no benefit. All you are doing is wasting electricity and upping the cost of your bill.

The only strain that does not need a dark period are those with Ruderallis genes. However, if you have one of these plants, they will be an auto-flower variety.
