Once I cut the clones, it is 24/0 under T5's (low heat) until roots are visible out of the bottoms of the cubes, then it is under the big light at 18/6 till ready for flower. Works without issue for me.

18/6 is the traditional/conventional method, but hey I've also done 24/0 and with great results. As long as you do either/or and keep it consistent, you should be juuust fine :)

18/6 with T5's. thats more than enough, make sure to raise the lights up 2 or 3 ft above the tops for the first few days (less stress), get rid of that dam rockwool... areo cloning is the way to go!!! 99% success rate...
