Default Light

Can bananas have light all 24 a day? How would that be for the plants?

They say bananas need a period of darkness. I am not sure how long, but you usually see the plant is methabolizing at night when water-droplets come out of the leaves.
The summer midnight sun in Norway is no problem, the light is too weak.
I leave my grow-light on for 7-8 hours, and so far it seems sufficient.

What is methabolizing?

"methabolism" = "Stoffskifte" in Norwegian!
