I can attest to this.
I will say if it’s a “budget grow” then the best lighting schedule for your money is the gas lantern schedule
I only use 12.5hrs of light in veg and 12 hours of light in flower. Not to many people realize you can keep the plant in veg with just a little over 12hrs of light
My veg schedule works like this
6am-6pm lights on
6pm-12am lights off
12am-12:30 lights on
12:30am-6am lights off
Then it starts all over
