the person at the shop said i should put them at 18/6 for 4-5 days, then transplant them and drop the light to 12/12 for the rest of the 10-11 weeks.
however, i have heard that 24/7, is better for them. basically, how long do you think i should wait to drop it to 12/12, and in the meantime, should i be running in 18/6 or 24/7? any help or additional advice would be appreciated too. thanks

Did the dude say what kind of clones they are? If you have a max of 2.5' i would go 12/12 when they get just over a foot. Depending on many factors but they should double in size when flowering. You could also tie down branches if they start getting too tall. If the dude was using 18/6 i would stick with that. Also are those 100 cfl's really like 26 actual watts or do they use 100 watts each.
