I have a few seedlings I started a week ago. Once they sprouted I put them under constant light. So when should I put them under the vegetative light cycle?

i dont think they got ur question, or maybe i dont, but i put mine in 18/6 they day the cotyledons (first nodes) were decently sized (a third to a hallf inch). and to debate the 24/0 or 18/6 thing, 18/6 is theoretically better, because plants can build on themselves better when they are in the dark, but need the energy from the light phase. howeve i can not say ive seen one being better, cause ive only done 18/6. if u dont have a timer, then 24/0 will be fine i guess

how did we not get his question. he asked when to start veg... he is in veg so how can he start something he is already doing. now if he asked when to go from 24 to 18 then we would not of gotten his question.

Yes your already in veg and as far as 24/0 vs. 18/6, theres arguments both ways, i find 18/6 better and why not save on your power bill and let your equip. cool down a bit. If you don't have a timer what u save on electricity will pay for your timer in the long run there only like $10 - $15 at Walmart.
