    I would purchase a timer... They are very cheap and come in handy.

    Whether you keep it on 18-6 or switch to "24-7" is probably just a matter of preference. Either way, by all means, get your ass down to Wally-World and get yourself a timer!

    Any old basic timer should work for, at least, a few CFL's. Just pay attention to the wattage limit, it should be on the timer, or at least on the packaging.

    Hahaha..now he REALLY must be using the poor mans timer...lol

    I have my girls in the veg state 24/7 so I don't see how it could hurt...although I will say this..I think it might be over kill so I may not go that route next time but my girls are incredibly healthy so maybe it ain't so bad...and anyone that may be keeping an MH bulb on 24/7 should know that you need to shut the light off at least once a week for at least 15 minutes other wise the bulb can go hay wire..
