When to begin lighting

Hello RIU forums!
After being a smoker for most of my life, and browsing through these forums, I've finally decided to start my first grow :hump:.

So I have a pretty good idea on how to take care of the plants once I get them going, but I haven't been able to find any info on when I should begin lighting them.

Am I supposed to start as soon as they surface, or wait until the first set of starter leaves are out?

thanks to all who reply :)

As soon as you see green it needs to have light. Keep the light as close as possible without burning. Keeping the light close will keep them from streching.

I start light immediately, before any sprout comes up. It seems in keeping with nature that way.

Hmm I see your point. Also if you guys don't mind me asking (although I know this has been discussed 1000000 times), what are your prefrences on 24/0 or 18/6 light schedules?
