If you're veggin I'd suggest 18-24 hours of light. If you're flowering, I'd say 12 hours of light...

Just leave the light on 24 hrs aday (easy to control) and then just switch to 12x12 during flowering.

20/4 or 24 hrs a day. I do the 20/4 for veg personally. I'll veg them for anywhere from 45 to 60 days and then flip them to 12/12. A lot of people swear by having the lights on 24 hrs for veg, and that works well and has for years, but I personally feel the plants NEED the 4 hrs of dark. I doubt they need more tho...
