thanks for the info. so the question is: would the veg stage go faster with 24/0? does the extra 6h of light each day add up to a shorter veg. cycle?

And giving out bad ratings for not bowing down to your wisdom is real grown up

You two need to let it go, its distracting from learning about growing.

Thanks for chilling out guys, lets keep it civil here
I'll also agree with erb, it's been proven that going with a 24/0 light cycle is 33% more efficient then going with an 18/6 cycle. The amount of money you save is negligible, especially if you're running fluros, so you're much better off leaving them under the lights all day and night.
Also, shop light fluro's work well, but CFL and T-5 setups work better. I just ran a bank of T-5's for a few months because my friend let me borrow them and i'll never go back to my shop lights again (unless i need to). The T-5's can be a bit pricey but the lumens they put out make up for it and if you know where to look you can get the bulbs at a good price.
