18/6
The plant will do a lot better.
I used 24 when I started then about 2 weeks into it I went to 18/6 on my first grow.
I notice more new growth when I switched to 18/6.
I think it is because it is closer to what nature would provide.

you're going to need much more than one 42 watt CFL for 3 plants dude. You would need more than that for 1 plant.
