Ill do something else with the smallones first

24/0 and 18/6 are BOTH vegetative light cycles. The plants will not show sex until you do 12/12.

I use 18/6 cuz its closer to natural cycles and saves some electricity. Some do 24/0 for more rapid growth.

Should i keep MH on them or throw in the HPS what do you recommend is better of the 2???? at the stage there at

I've read over and over that people do 24/0 for only the first couple of weeks and then switch to 18/6 to let the plant have dark time to use its energy, not just make it.

Keep the MH and switch to HPS when you flower. HPS has a red spectrum which plants do not necessarily need until flowering.
