Automatic: Light schedule
HowtoBubatzstarted grow question 4 months ago
What do you think, should I switch my light cycle to 20/4 for a short night rest to preserve the terpenes?
Should I wait until my three plants, which are already in the late flowering stage, are finished, or will it not bother them?
Thank you very much HowToBubatz

You should give the DLI it can handle without damaging the plant. If the specs are accurate for your lights, it's an easy process to guesstimate DLI. If you can do this in 16h or 18h that's fine. More hours above local max dli (depends on local variables a bit) is wasted electricty and stress on the plant. Also, you want a dark cycle. I'd only do 20/4 or greater hours of light if the light is underpowered and that's the only way to max out DLI relative to local variables.

Never, ever grow at 24/0, 18/6 is optimal, any more is a waste of electricity.
ALL cannabis NEED a dark period every day to complete their photosynthesis cycle and have a correctly functioning metabolism.
A plant with an incorrectly functioning metabolism will never achieve peak performance.

Not sure how 4h dark is preserving terps, but 24h lighting is never necessary.
