Grow quicker?

Isn't that the principle used by those basement marijuana growers? And they get caught when the police run checks on heavy electricity users?

Some plants will grow quicker. Others, if not given a period of darkness will die. Most are in the middle--they will live with 24 hours of light but will not flourish. Photosynthesis is composed of 2 sets of reactions--the light reactions and dark reactions. If it's light all of the time excess products from the light reactions begin to back up because the dark reactions cannot use it all and get rid of it. The result is a plant overloaded at the front end of photosynthesis to the point where it does harm.

WIth no dark period, the plants will tend to grow themselves to death. I grow a tropical garden indoors. I have 3 - 4ft long flourescent fixtures, each having four bulbs. The lights are on a timer. The lights are on 16 hours per day. All of the plants are shade tolerant, and they do just great!

Alaska has 24 hour sun in places and very long days in Anchorage. It is known for people who grow giant begonias. I saw some while I was there, and they were the largest I have seen anywhere, and it was still June!

Good question, I assume that it would grow quicker/better, but I'd like to know the answer to that myself.
