What do you think of 24/0 for the light?

[the123321]

I have the 240w kingbrite led in the tent and was planning to do 24/0 but I have read a few people recommending not doing 24/0. What do you think? Would 22/2 or 20/4 or 18/6 be better or do you think if I can keep the temperature in the tent right that 24/0 would be the best to do on there?

And then there is the 6/2/6/2/6/2 option. But seriously, I have heard of guys using that on photo strains during vegetative phase.

I've been doing 22-2 for my autos run. When I grew my photos I did 18-6. They love it. I just am kind of paranoid about doing 24-0 for my light since I don't have a replacement. I bet 24-0 works great too

Thanks. Do you think that 24/0 is much harder on the light than doing 22/2 or 24/0 on there?

Tbh anything above 18-6 I thought was too hard before. Now that I'm on day 53 of my run and seeing no issues I just want to keep giving the light that 2 hour break to cool off. I think that's why I'm doing it. Idk how much it helps really but I just don't feel too comfortable doing 24-0 with my 1x1000w hps.

My old led lights I ran 24/7 and loved it, but with my Autocobs and Quantum boards, I run 20/4.

These 301 based QBs and high quality COB’s are flamethrowers so you might want to think about how much light you’re actually giving these plants.

Thanks. Why do you do different with quantum boards on there?

Thanks. What do you mean by that on there?

I think it's unnatural.
