Do chilies have certain light cycles? My chocolate habaneros are about to bloom and I didn't know if they would only bloom with a certain amount of light. Can I leave the light on 24/0?

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Chili light cycles

No chilies don't have a specific light cycle like other 'medicinal' plants.
There is a bit of research out there that shows growth improvements when the lights are left on 24/0 for the first 5-7 weeks, but after that leaf chlorosis began to develop.
If you can't be bothered to fiddle with the lights an 18/6 schedule seems to work from start to finish.
