You can experiment if you really want. I've heard of people doing 24/8 schedules and 20/6... I went with 18/6 and that worked out very well.
I think the most important thing is to keep a schedule. Don't give them 24/0 and randomly decide to shut the lights off for 8 hours.
I've heard of people starting at 20 hours and doing something like giving them 10 minutes of extra darkness every day until the plants finish or you hit 12/12.
Point is: find out what works best for you and don't be afraid to experiment.

What Chevron wrote.. You can eaasily give them 24 hours of light, with darkness afterwards.. Or 36 hours, or however much you want.. Just do it consistently.
Don't be afraid to try new things, but stick to a schedule when experimenting. Correlation is hard to figure out, if you're sporadic and change things on the fly.

If u don’t wont to make some experiment or strange stuff, i like give 18/6 for save on bill and give the plant some rest and the right ammount of light, don’t worry if u have started with 24/0 , change on 18/6 and it will be fine, maybe you can slowly go to a 12/12 cycle for the end of the flowering to save on bill but this i don’t know if it will riduce your yeald, hope to be useful and comprensive ✌️🏽

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

Nitrogen Toxicity?Not sure if this is nitrogen toxicity or normal leaf color. Crinkling was caused by too much light and the fan. Got better in 24h after adjusting grow light and fan. Plants are starting week 2 of veg, Hulkberry Auto. Medium is light mix soil.

Day 49 autoflower huge and not yet flowering. Help!Day 49 autoflower not flowering? She's huge and I'm running out of room in the tent (58" and my tent is only 6 ft). Should I flip the tent to 12/12? Do I then keep it 12/12 the rest of the grow? How will that affect the Day 30 plant? Should I add 2nd light for smaller plant?

Harvest times?Hi guys, it's about 6 weeks since I noticed the first little small flowers. What do you think about it? I could harvest in three days otherwise I'll have to harvest in two weeks because I'm leaving. Some friends will take care of them but won't harvest for me.

Potential yieldShe's close to harvest and I am wondering how much grams she will yield..as you can see in the pics she's really tall (130cm) and full of buds, I already started to flush her and I've been giving her 275W of light with a 19-5 schedule. Thank you in advance :)
