Just started germinating. If the electricity usage is no issue should I go ahead and run 24/0? Or is it better for her to have a little dark time?

Depends on the intensity of the light. Plants can handle 24/0 as long as you are below their DLI. Low powered lights shouldn't have an issue while high powered lights will give the plants lights stress.

Thats what I'm going to do I think that's 1 of the reasons my first grow had some issues. Would a 20/4 be okay?
Do to my work hours that's the best schedule I will be able to keep steady.

I ran 24 0 through auto veg and then switched to 20 4 as soon flowering began. I do believe returns diminish after 18 6. If you want max yield 24 0 and a careful grow would be the best. If quality is your focus give them a short dark cycle.

What are you growing in? Aren’t there limits depending on medium? i.e. Dwc will grow faster than in soil

might not make sense to put the extra electricity into it
