i want to get the most yield possible lol

you might wanna drop them to 18/6 for a week or so first, 24 hour lighting is pretty stressful.

It looks to me like you have 4 - 2 gal bags under a 2 ft square screen, with the screen filled to 50%. So what are you waiting for, flip it now. With the size of your screen 2 plants would have filled it up.
Flip now and your next 2 wks will be busy keeping these girls spread out.

Example: 4 plants under a 3ft sq screen at 6 wks (your screen 4 sq ft, this one 9 sq ft)

You could pull off another wk of veg if you are using 250w HID or more, if florescent flip now.

Honestly I don't see any reason to switch down to 18/6....just keep going 24/0 and flip in a week still. Since you'll have some HID in that area I think you'll be fine. I'm doing a Scrog myself and with adequate lighting, which you have for your area, its hard to over-fill your screen. Just keep that ventilation up and light as low as you can. you can always tuck/trim fan leaves for more bud sites to receive light and also put more than one bud site in a square. Good luck man

Those temps are fine, 86 is a little high but your plants will survive, and the yield won't suffer. But the canoeing leaves sound like a lock out and constant watering won't help. I believe that cupped and curled up leaves is a sign of mg lockout. check out this thread I'm sure it's covered there.

I agree. Daily watering is not good. Lift your pot to get an idea on how wet your soil is. Usually let at least a day or two between waterings, depending on your soil mix. Idk about the leaf cupping being a lockout. I think it's due to moisture/heat stress. How far away is the HID from your plants? also what are your humidity levels?
