24/0 = denser plants, higher electric bill
18/6 = less dense(elongated in comparison), lower electric bill
I disagree with the elongated plant statement,with proper light placement this should not be an issue. I normally do it just for the power bill, plus those fans and ac gotta rest sometime.....This is what I get with an 18/6 schedule everytime, doesn't look 'elongated' to me 
What it comes down to imo, is the growers preference. Whether u choose 18/6, or 24/7, its all good.

I don't know about elongated, but 24/0 buds are a little denser. How much denser is debatable, but you'll yield more going 24/0. Comes down to being a personal preference - you'll get bud either way, but do you want to trade some electricity for a little more bud? My experience is that after a few grows most folks just go 24/0.I disagree with the elongated plant statement,with proper light placement this should not be an issue.

The only reason I don't go w/ 24/0 is b/c the first time I did my bulb died when I switched to 12/12. My dumbass didn't have a spare so it died slowly. Other than that your babes are more demanding, demanding more watering, more nutes, and a little more attention. That's about it, o and you do a get a higher yield to.

that is so true. i first read a growers guid years ago and learned alot but here is where you find the best info. and most of the members are very cool and want to help.
i like to do the 18/6 for the electric but i think the plants like a nap too.
although when the lights are out ive seen my plants grow an inch or more before the lights come back on. not actually seen it but i wish i could just watch them grow. i sit with my girls for hours it seems.

I know what you mean, I can sit there and just be in "awe" for a while.
My ballast has been fucking w/ me lately, and every time I turn off the light it won't turn back on for awhile. The first time it happened it didn't come back on for like a week, so for my next grow I'm just gonna go w/ 24/0 untill I get a new ballast, or kit.
