I did 24/0, but I think 18/6 would be better.

I always thought it was 24 hours for the first week or 2 then 18/6 to veg properly before flower?

Haha, I was right about to post this question!
I have 4 plants that I do absolutely nothing to but the occasional watering. They sit by the window all day (I live in Florida in a condo on the 15th floor) and it seems to be just fine for them...
...but I also have 1 plant I've decided to have control over. It just broke through the soil yesterday morning, and since then it's been underneath a 32w circular CFL every hour of its life (of course, I took off the plastic shroud so there's nothing between the light and the plant):
So far, so good...in the 36 hours that it's been alive, it's already about an inch high, and it's already grown its first set of leaves apart from the cotyledon leaves.
del66666, why is it that only 16.5 hours of light is "usable"? Does the plant need to "rest" after a long day of photosynthesis?

I don't mind keeping a 32w cfl on 24/7 for a while...it barely uses any electricity anyway...

Oh don't give me that global warming crap...the amount of methane produced by 1 cow during its lifetime will affect the world's temperature more than my measley closet grow.
