    LIGHT CYCLES Light cycles are used to simulate the conditions of day and night for indoor plants. We highly recommend the use of a 24-hour timer to create a repeatable light cycle. Most plants grow in two stages, the vegetative stage and flowering stage. During the vegetative growth stage, the plant is focused on growing in preparation for flowering.
