This is not my first plant. But after my first run I am still not clear on everything I would like to be. ( I can show some pics of the first plant )

I have been trying to do this without any help but at the same time I feel that I do need help. I am just growing in my closet with a 250w HPS light.

Main question is did I waste my money getting a 250w HPS light? I dont intend to grow a lot just enough for myself really.

There really are only a few question I have to ask you all talented growers!

During Vegetation stage how long do I keep the lights on a 24/0 set up?
Do I want to cut down the light cycle as it grows or do I want to keep it at 24/0 untill the flowering process?
With watering using Miracle Grow I make a gallon mixture and then add a tiny bit of that mixture in to the actuall water. Its just a splash really cus of how strong it is. ( should I keep doing that or try to find some stuff from of the shelves of a store? )
What watering rotation should I use with plant food?

I have a new plant going and its about 6 weeks old. This is what it looks like now. ( it looks blue cus I had to whitebalance with the bright ass orange color light )thats a no no pictures by JuyoToken - Photobucket
It is the Very first picture of the album. In the album I had another plant pics but it was just me learning trying to figure out what I was trying to do

I did learn to not use that watering mixture i said for about 5 weeks strait. ( i got VERY "little" chemical burn only on 1 leaf. ) This was about 3 days ago and I immediately switched back to just normal water. Now my should I wait about 2 weeks before I start pumping it with chemicals again? Or should I just use a chemical mixture 1 time a week? This whole watering thing is mainly my problem. I did get my first plant over 5ft tall but at the same time I was in the dark about everything.

Today I decided to move my plant only 12in away from the light in hoping that it will do more?

I know this this one isnt a thread on what I need to do but I also want to keep everyone updated on my stuff as well!!!

Thanks for your time
