@Thegrinder, a tip that I can maybe give you, is perhaps not to give your plants a 24-hour light cycle. not that this gives such negative effects. but it has been proven that giving more than 18-20 hours of light has no special advantages. the plant even benefits from being in the dark for a few hours. during the light period, a plant goes through a process called photosynthesis. during this process, a plant makes carbohydrates from the CO2 in the air. these carbohydrates are stored primarily in the plant's leaves. But, every plant has a limit to the amount of carbohydrates it can store. during a night cycle, the plant transports carbohydrates to the roots and the main stalk. this promotes root growth. essentially emptying the stored up carbs in each leaf and allowing for new production to take place during the next light cycle.
