Are you doing an experiment? Did you want to grow your plant slow, just curious. Cause i've never heard of anyone using 8/16 lighting. I heard of 12/12 but for flower, not vegging. If you want fast growth, during vegging the light needs to be at 18/6 at least. I am on 24/0 as most of us are. But 8/16, you may as well leave them outside, and yes fan need to be on 24/0. Have you check FAQ's yet? What watt bulbs are you using?

Good luck!!

I've noticed, especially durning flowering, if my fans go off at night, the growth is a good bit more.
