You can have the lights off up to 6 hours. But once you establish the veg light period keep it the same.

You can keep them on, however I'm an advocate for sleep. Plants release c02 at night and they can re-uptake it in the AM. Especially if your not using C02 its good to have your own ecosystem. At-least 4 hours of sleep I say, IMO plants grow faster this way.

Light cycle goes from 24/0 or 18/6 to 12/12. BUT there is SO VERY MUCH that goes on in between....and I suggest that you read, read and READ SOME MORE.
Good luck!!
