Re: What are Light Cycles and How Do I use Them?

Never heard of this. why would you do this?
"plants take advantage of dark times to ramp up the manufacture of plant sugars that their roots store for use in making new cells for growth. It's kind of like a factory where the raw materials are being unloaded all day (i.e. water from the soil, light from above and carbon dioxide from the air), and then when the truck leave, the workers have time to actually produce the goods."
I got this quote from a plant growing sight. you should google why plants need darkness to fully understand the necessity of darkness for your babies.
