First Ever Grow: Beginner Questions

[Danielsaaan]

I currently have the light on the seedlings at 24:0. When do you guys suggest I switch over to 18:6?

I start at 16/8 and they seem to be just fine and growing fast....saves money too....

give them some rest and save money - I happened to go 20/4, because my clocks were still set to it after a 9 years pause - thats what I call "plug an play" never change a running system .
I havent seen so much bigger yields today with 24/0 that in the old days with autos at 18/6 or 20/4 - noone I knew did 24/0 back then.

Rest I think they need rest....mine start going to sleep an hour before light goes out....they start sagging.....

I'm an old hippie, and of course my girls want to go asleep. I ask them how their day was, sing them a lullaby, put them a glass of milk and molasses in the tent and kiss them good night Don't you too do that????

Of course they don't "need" it in their biology, but they aren't crying out to leave the lights on like strawberries do.
They simply didn't reward me, going up with light time. Perhaps times and strains have changed. That's why I start over with a strain I still know (and hopefully didn't change that much).
Let's put it that way: lights 18/6 doesn't harm them.--- I think.

I guess I’ll go to 18:6 tonight! Still waiting on one seed to pop. Hopefully by the time I get home from work today I’ll have action.
Thanks to all that replied!
