Yep, you don't really have to wait for a 24 hour cycle. I prefer 18/6 though. I believe the plant having time to rest is beneficial although there's very little science regarding this.

I do 24 hours light, from day 1 as a seedling.. So I wouldn't say it's too early. Others might disagree with me on it tho.

I tried 24h on auto's but found to get better results with 20/4 or 18/6. At the end of the day they can take morr light and use the night time to perk right back up.

Bend Her Over?Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?

Is it better to have one light unit that covers the full area of the tent or use multiple smaller ones? Im using 2 small leds. Is it better to have the ability to dim the lights or just have one power of intensity?
