Arnold,
What would you find to be suffecient for seedlings, should I switch to a 16
hours on 8 hours off?
Thanks for the advice :)
Josh

Josh:
Two things that come to mind with 24 hour light are:
The plants are pushed for growth at the expense of developing root and bulb
mass. Something like a nursery that pushes fertilizer to get growth at the
expense of having a plant with a balanced root to stem ratio.
Plants respire or grow at night ( I think ) and use the energy produced during
daylight hours to manufacture tissue.
