I'd have to disagree. 24/7 has alot to do with small, bushy plants imo. You won't get the stretch on 24/7 you get during the dark cycle on 18/6 so you end up with short and stocky plants.

I'd have to agree. The plant does stretch more on an 18/6. I prefer 24/7.
I've had to run 18/6 due to daytime temps. but as far as quality and overall yeild, I don't think it matters much. IMO
 
I don't see any reason to use a 18/6 as opposed to a 24/0. 24 hour light makes them grow faster. The only time they need darkness is the flowering period.
 
i agree, although for HID ballast, a little break does good as they can get hot.:peace:
