Plants dont "need" sleep or else they would die on a 24 hr light cycle. Lets say they "prefer" sleep....and lets not forget to mention that the majority of stretch happens when lights are off. Aside from shaving $$ from the electric bill, a shortened light cycle has no more affect on those plants than a 24 hr light cycle.
Not trying to argue or be combative, but those links dont prove or dispell anything other than reduction of cost on electricity when grown indoors...which is exactly what I stated in my post.Plants do need sleep

Why The Dark Cycle Is Important For Cannabis
We all know that cannabis needs light to grow, but periods of darkness are just as important. Here’s why cannabis needs a dark cycle too.www.zambeza.com

17/on/7 off works for me and my plants and bud always gets great results . I’m good on that 24/0 , did it for a few years and it was def “ no big improvement’ I’ll take the redution on my electric bill and let my plants sleepI mean shoot most of the time they grow so fast j have to keep em in 1 gal’s before my final and top em daily cause they want to grow like a wild fire.
The RoyalQueenSeeds link you posted even states exactly what I said. Theres no gain to a shorter veg light cycle other than electricity savings. They claim they experienced some differing results in regards to cuttings, but thats just their own personal experience -nothing scientific. Directly quoted from that link:
VEGETATIVE GROWTH: 18-6 OR 24-0?
Photoperiod cannabis strains can essentially be kept in vegetative growth indefinitely, so long as they receive 14+ hours of light per day. The debate on what is the optimal light-dark schedule for vegging cannabis rages on. That being said, most indoor growers will agree that somewhere between 18–24 hours per day is perfect. Outdoor growers get started in spring/summer to make the most of the long days too.
The 24-0 schedule might speed up the vegetative growth process some. The downside is the higher power bills. 18-6 is more common because it’s a closer match for long summer days and a little cheaper. Higher success rates with cuttings on an 18-6 light-dark cycle than those receiving 24-0 is the only substantial difference we have discovered from our own experiments.
The Zambeza link you provided doesnt even mention growing in vegative growth lol. It talks about outdoor, the conversion to flower and why lighting is important @ 12 hrs...to induce flower. I believe we are already privy to this info.
The other links are just stating what we have already agreed on....-plants can have a sleep cycle if you allow them.
Doesnt mean they need them or are necessary was all I was getting at in all of this. When it comes to reveg I have found that 18/6 dont come close to the amount of results I get from 24/0 and my plants also dont stretch like crazy in veg like they do when a dark period is introduced like 18/6. This is relatively important to someone like me who houses mothers for many years on end. I dont doubt your plants and flowers do well for you and that you have a great system down for your garden. I just dont believe there is any gains to be had with 18/6 other than a savings on your light bill and your links pretty much concur what I mention(ed).

what’s far deep red For eh? That that was for presenting and brining the tones of sunset and putting the plants a sleep quicker? Hmm? wow so many people interested in that and biz and that must mean nothing ?
and point of not using more light is the “improvement “ of that extra 180+ hours from a room, than another 30+ hours from a flower, I’m good pays for another cycle almost or if I had another room that’s quite a bit eh
ive done enough compares to know enough that 18/6 when thats not even worth it when most plants don’t even care. If you give a plant a great enviroment with Co2 , great lights for its needs ( which at veg they don’t even need nowhere nears as much vs flower ) and proper environment and proper airflow During that lights on. sure As hell show on my end good results , if not I think your doing something wrong and is not that extra hours, I’m good on that one
they all explained theres no reason to use unnatural amounts of light beyond 18/6!

This looks so dam cool . So four of these ?
Yes it will be four of these over a 10 x 10 room... They are UCandewits new board he designed... With a mix of Samsung Diodes... I have to find the invoice with the full specs before I start posting nonsense lol
those are the 12 board units, right? wanna send me a couple when you're done assembling? i'll test em out for ya
Erm 6 panels per driver... xlg-240 - H - AB
If my calculations are correct
4 drivers x 24 panels with 96 LED per strip =
@coste to answer your question... maybe the 12 board you are seeing x2??? I am not sure he has so many different options on the ebay store...
