you will find out with this grow that patience is very important when growing mj babis.... some strains will take off really fast where others take their sweet time to grow....... but as far as im seeing there is absolutely nothing wrong so far...... happy grow
and as far as the time. try to keep her on a steady time.... and truthfully i would just go for 18/6 at that size.. 24/0 i normally do it when shes a seed until i see the first set of leaves....

The watering aspect should be one of your main concerns. Watering when they need it is key. If the dirt looks dry and the cups feel light then its time to water. The plant looks great. The first 36-48 hrs of germ is key. Try getting yourself some flexiplugs, tray of 50 slots, Water collection base and a clear plastic humid dome. Works for me every time and one 50 plug setup should run you about 20 bucks. The dome has 3 vents you can crack slowly around day 7 to get them used to the oxygen. This also promotes a strong straight stock. Mist the dome occasionaly and leave a VERY small amount of water in the base to promote good humidity. as close to 90% as you can. Once they have a mean root comming out the bottom with smaller "hair-like" roots branching off move them to 16oz Styrefoam cups with small holes poked in the base to allow excess water to drain.. I start from seeds every time. As for the light, IMO I start em' off on 24's from the rip. It gives the beginning shoots something to work towards. . The 18/6 works well later if you so choose. T8's work great, and their pretty cheap. After you water you can always mist the smaller plants with a SMALL amount of water from a sprayer to simulate rain. AGAIN this is all just my methods and preference. I just dont want my first post on here to be flammed over n over. hope this helps. let me know. good luck bro

Excellent information man...yea i got a humidty a dome but i didnt like the way that worked out so i wint simple amd just put a sandwhich bag over the cups i got them in a styrofoam cup now i got a humidifier on them with 2 fans blowing air in and duct coming out of one of the vent ports...an i had them on 18/6 but one morning i went to go turn on the light and my plants we leaning to the side kind of dropping down then i put the light back on them and then i they straighten out like a hour later..so i thought 24/0 was the best for them. but i will switch back to 18/6
 
Honestly if they drooped when the lights went out they are trying to tell you something. I run 24's until they're around 16" tall.

As i said, I start in the flexi plugs. Once their rooted i Transplant into the 16oz Styrefoam cups. Give them a week to get used to their new home with pure water then begin to slowly introduce some nutes. I use Ionic Grow, Ionic Bloom, and Ionic BOOST. for every Gal. of water use 4tsp of grow. So do the math but start slow. You can fry them if your not careful. At around 8-9" (or when I feel they need to) they move to their final medium. This being a 5 Gal. Grow bag trimmed down to around 10" high. (i do that because those bags are great, Cheap and easy to store but they use a TON of dirt). I slap em under HPS but continue the 24/0 until the get their first topping. (uses a lot of power but its as close to real sun as they can get inside which would be what they want) 3-5 more days of 24/0 to allow them to recover from the "raping" then its time for 17/7. This "veg" time is where your going to see some serious growth. I have one that grew 3" in a night. Make sure you've got the room before you let them get to big, Remember they can very well double or triple in size by the time all is said n done.. Give them all the water they ask you for in this phase. And alternate feedings with some water in between. As I said before just dont overwater. Once you get a few weeks going on 17/7 you'll begin to see the Pre-flower begin. If their to your desired height and there isn't a "Dick" in the bunch, bloom that bitch.. Just make sure you've got good Calyxes to give you those sweet sweet buds.
 
Also for your Humidity, higher is better in the beginning. Once you get into your final medium and are heading towords your "veg" state keep it around 60%. Thats your golden number. No less than 50% and no more than 70% all the way through to the end. Temp is also key. 75 F at the plants themselves. If you can keep this temp while the lights are on and 70F when their off you should be perfect.
