Should lights be left on 24/7 for autos or do they need a rest period

Hi, thanks for your comment and question. Opinion is divided on this subject. You can certainly grow autos with a 24 hour light cycle and get great results, although personally, I'd probably use 20 hours of light and 4 of darkness. This would be to save a little electricity on one hand, and on the other to allow the plants to carry out certain metabolic functions that only occur in darkness. I'd recommend you to try both ways and compare the results to see which works best for your situation. If you get considerably larger yields with 24 hours and no sign of stress from the plants, then it's probably worth the extra electrical consumption.
Best wishes and happy growing!
