i know that there is a point in the growing of the plant, that absorb a really high amount of light, anybody knows when is it? about the 4 or 5 of real leaves or something, any overlight before this is waste of energy, i am right?
135 watts of cfl is enough until all your plants together are bigger than 2 square feet. Then you'll need more light.
And 24/0 is fine until you switch to the MH. MH ballasts need to rest long enough to cool down once a day.
