Ron,

military time.
10:00 = 10am
17:00 = 5pm

takitsan
24/0 or
18/6 is your call. either works.

I like 18/6 so the plants rest and the dial on my electricity slows down a bit.
I also prefer 2ft flourescent lights to mh/hps for veg simply for cost of power/equipment savings.



gonna be a real expensive sack of self grown weed using hps for the full life cycle...
