would this be alright to do ?? im not sure if it would get enough light....i have 37,000 lumens with the setup though so 18/6 might be possible ??

I'd just do 24/0. They need all the light they can get.

it gets around 87 degrees at night so turning the lights off for six hours did not seem like a bad idea??

Just start them on the 18/6 when you want to. It will be ok.

it will be absolutly fine, i first grew with 24/0 light then turned to 18/6 and found they actully grew better and looked healthier apparently i read somewher that when the lights are off the plants puts its resources into growing roots, and a good stable root system is always good.
