From what I have read, there is no growth development between 18/6 and 24/0. The only difference is the increase of $$$ to keep the lights going. I havn't done an experiment myself, so I can't tell you from personal experience, just from what I've read.

You end up with about 7 days worth of light more in a month on 24. I've grown both ways & now I do 24 in my veg room. It will take a little long for preflowers to appear but they definitely grow more.

I use a 1000 watter. I noticed 18/6 works best. Perhaps it makes a difference with high wattage bulbs.
