24/0 is for development above ground only, or at least slowed root development. 18/6 is for balanced development as needed. Plants draw in the stuff they need during light hours, and process it for development during dark. Plants will do better overall if they eventually get some dark time, otherwise roots will not develop properly. I never do 24/0.
