    put them under as soon as they are up bud when you put them into the medium
    and times .... some guys do it 24hours constant
    some guys do it 20 hours on and 4 hours dark
    some guys give it 18 hours on 6 hours off
    its all personal preference really.
    i dont have them constantly on i prefer to give them some night time to help root growth

    After trying different light schedules, I rekon you cant beat 20/4. 18/6 is a bit slow, but after 20 hours they look a bit tired imo. What size lights are you using?

    Interesting idea that is and I havent tried it yet, but would make sense to rest em longer in flower as they doin alot more work.
