High all, im a beginner at this and I have about 20 plants that are about 3 and a half weeks old and are about half a foot tall with nice dark green leaves, I was told to keep the lights on them 24/0 for about 2 weeks and about a week ago i turned them to 18/6 when Do i put them on 12/12 ???

EDIT: the lights im using are 2 Metal Halide 400 wats
