Bleaching is white or near white at least.
Yellow is your plant telling you there are problems.

Usually bleaching ends up being more white than yellow. Are you sure it was bleaching?
leaves were light green/fine. put them close (1") from a 50w red/blue LED panel for 14 hours and the younger 2-3 sets of leaves, comprised the apical stem, assumed a solid yellow, potato chips-like color.

I'd say that looks more burnt than bleached.

I've heard of them getting funky growth on full 24/0 light. And some wont even flower, even though they are auto flower, on 24/0.
Really? I was under the impression otherwise. I have had mine on 24/0 the whole time. So far so good...I guess we'll see. It'd probably be best now to just keep them on that schedule instead of just switching it over 12/12.

ya if they are good autos they flower under 24. all these Ryders out there can be a bit unstable esp people trying to catch the wave(if there still is one) as quick as possible

if you try a 24/0 grow at least switch the spectrum between veg and flowering from 6500k to 2700 or lower for flowering. I can vouch for the fact that time is more important than spectrum, I switched my veg lights (6500k) to 12/12 from 18/6 and that initiated the flowering. If its not an autoflowering strain it definitely needs some type of cue to just switch into flower.

That seems like its gonna be harder to control temps I feel like my night cycle gives my room a chance to cool down a bit how do you think your going to go about controlling the temps for your space?

I run my lights 24/0 during veg. No heat issues. But then again I use air cooled lights as well as have an air conditioner. But I look at preparing my grow spaces before I start growing these days. Learned my lesson to many times to not prepare the grow space adequately before I start growing.

do you run MH for veg? I know its a hot topic but most growers I know have converted to T5's they say the results are practically identical and with the T5s the plants don't stretch nearly as much because they are like 1.5 inches above the canopies

Nope, HPS the whole way through. The strain I have stretches like a mother fucker when it hits 12/12 anyways, that I don't care if it's a little lankier during veg. Which they really aren't anyways.

Don't have any heat problems. CFL's don't put out much heat, one of the reasons I went with them. I also have a couple fans going, and also one I turn on near my mushie box.

I have yet seen a set of T5's grow as well as MH.
And if someone is getting stretching under an MH then they are raising their lights to quickly.
MH in fact creates tighter branch spacing.
