18/6 is fine 24/0 is a waste of electricity in my opinion. plants dont get 24/o light in nature so i personally think there is no need. i do 24/0 light on newly cut clones for 2 days then put them on reg light schedule.

u want it 2 b around 75f
but 2 b honest mate
u need 2 get all this sorted b4 u get ur plants under the light
have u got air in and out ?
what kind of system u using ?
im not being funny mate
just these r very important factors when tryin 2 get a good crop
ive killed 75 clones by just sticking them under a 6 and just leaving them
when i came back the room was 89f
and the clones had all been bleached by the light
a very sad day lol
but a good lesson learned also lol

I follow the 24/0 light schedule for all my grows and the reason is that the plants will grow at least 25% faster with the extra light time in vegetation.
