the 24/0 wont hurt but i dont think it helps any compared to 20/4
some just run 24/0 cuz to cheap for timers or dont want to bother with them

growing should be fun not a chore

I cannot tell if you have a reflector on those lights but it will help a lot. When you flower, if you can get both lights in the game it will double the yield for you. 6400k will work ok for flower, just rotate the plants between them.

On the pots, I try to fill them almost to the rim so I get all I can out of them. I like to veg for 7 weeks but less is ok too. The longer you veg the more bud sites are developed for later.

I think you have about 16 inches of good light coming off those lights and with a reflector, almost double that.

Did not catch if have odor control but that is a must. Ona gel is cheapest and some homemade carbon filters are next.

one thing that you should know about cfl lights, is that ya you can have the light really close to the plant but you got to remember is that plants grow towards the light. so if you want it to get taller you have to have the light higher above the plant. 12inches is a good height thats seems to work.

that will cause stretching and top heavy plants that will fall over by keeping lights close u get a busher plant
