your welcome.... ive done it both ways several times and ive come to the conclusion that haveing nice big deep healthy roots is never a bad idea

maybe even do what uncle bill was sayin and go 20\4

are you gonna lst or something 60 days veg sounds like a big plant but it sounds like a fine lighting plan you could do whatever you want as long as you stay above 18 hrs a day for veg and stay at 12\12 for flower the plant will grow its up to you now to find what works best for you personally i got my muthers in a dim light room on 24\0 and veg clones in ther on 24\0 until they are ready to go inmy other room than they get 18\6 til im ready to flower......... chk out this one

From my own exp 24/0 will make a plant bushier, with smaller internodes (great for pc or cupboard grows) while 16/8 makes it tall and lanky (great for closets or grow rooms). No pros, no cons, just two options for different types of grows...

both sides have equal arguments. i prefer 24/0 so i can guarantee no light leaks or other problems. to each their own though

im doin 24/0 but every other day i gave the ladies a 4 dark period and this seems to be a growing good and has cut growing time down as well so far

light leaks are not a problem during veg and if you flower in the same room you better get them light leaks fixd

here is what i noticed in 9 days. this pic was taken on 1-18-09 the day i switched to 18/6 from 24/0. don't no if you can see the black mark on the stick. thats when i switched. and this one i just took. this is the 9th day o 18/6 and what a growth spurt.

I heard 24/0 for veg is best cuz when u go 12/12 the plants do better because of no dark periods before.. Iunno im a noob.
