Cant answer your question but i would like to know also since my plants are 2 weeks old today and are a little bit smaller then yours... I have mine on 24/0 as well and was thinking of trying 18/6....

in my opinion i would put them on 18/6 see if ther is a change, also do both of you have ventilation coz without growth can stunt also high temps will effect ur growth rate, and last but not least make sure ur not over watering or under watering, experiment wid ur plants till u know u doing things right without haveing to secong guess ur self, hope this helps.

Yah i was over watering but now they are starting to recover... I have way too much ventilation, im using an open top box in a dedicated room with a decent fan in there....

You think 18/6 will help us? Fans off at the same time as well? How about the humidifier? You can see my plants here... Not trying to hijack you ADADOG...

well i run my veg plants on 18/6 only thing i run on 24/0 is my clones. i find that giving them some darkness is good, as it allows for the plant to work on growing its roots while it isnt takeing in any light through the leaves to create sugers. fans on 24/7 good ventilation will prevent mold and stop ur plants from burning up. humidity should be kept between 40%-60%, anythink else i can help wid let me know.

thanks for the replies guys, yea ive two 4" timer fans for ventilation one in one out and a 6" fan inside to cool the light an circulation. think i might have been over watering but am gonna try 18/6 see wot happens
