Question, do you really need to stop the light at some point? or they can have it 24/7?

Great question!
From the research I've done, some plants are able to grow in their vegetative state under 24/7 light. This usually increases plant growth by roughly 25% depending on a host of factors, but it's generally considered more energy efficient to utilize 18/6 lighting cycle for vegetative growth, which is what I am currently using with a timer to automatically switch the lights on and off.
Flowering stage is usually 12/12 but the bean plant is showing signs of flowering, I'm not sure if they flower no matter what season/light cycle. I need to do a little more reading lol.
Thank you for stopping by my friend!
Marvelous. I assume even if we had the lights up 247 doesn't mean it will double its production. Fair enough, even machines need to take a break. What's left now is about efficiency according to what I understand from your statement.
