Should I give my plant 24 hours of light at one week? I’m very new to this and want to learn as much as possible...

I always suggest a 18/6 light schedule. It saves on power usage and also gives your girls time to recover from their hard day. Some people have no issues With 24 hr light phase but it's all a personal preference! Cheers and happy growing!

18/6 is all you need for veg. Can run 24 hours if you like,won't hurt your plant

If humans took weed to grow on another planet where the sun was up for 28 hours and down for 10 hours, how well would it grow? Would the plants adapt to the different light / dark times? Or maybe 24 of hours light, 6 hours of dark? Theories? Earthly Proof? Comments? 👽Week 13

Autoflower light cycles - adjusting mid growAutoflowers can grow in pretty much any light cycle. What are your experiences with changing light cycles mid grow? I am currently around Day 24, running 20/4 but the humidity in my grow cabinet at lights off is very high. How would adjusting to 24/0 affect my plants now? Thanks!Setup. Lighting

100W full spectrum enough for 2 plants in a 80x80x160cm tent. Should I get a 300W instead?So, I bought this light, it's a 100W full spectrum grow light. But I think I might've bought it too hastily. I want to ask you guys before I return it though.
Do you think I should get a 300W instead? Planning on growing 2 auto plants ScrOGed.Setup. Lighting
