Don't trim off damaged leaves. When the plant is done re-consuming the nutrients back out of them they will turn yellow or brown and come off easily by hand. Before that all you are doing is adding stress and not helping at all as the plant CAN reuse the nutes it stored up in there if left alone. You may tuck them.
There is conflicting advice on 18/6 vs 24. But the oldest most trusted horticulturalist published a book in the 80's I think it was after he had done extensive research and he claims in the end that plants will finish sooner at 24 hours. Cannabis is very robust and can handle lots of stress but not having a night cycle is no big dealio. there are real cool things that happen at night but they are not necessary.
I use it to regulate temps. If I can get away with 24 hours on I will do it but in summer I use the 60 hours off during the hot part of the day to my advantage.
But that doesn't mean I am right or know what I am doing.
Sometimes even when I don't need to I run 18/6 to save some energy...but you have to run longer so does it save energy? I don't know.
I do know it is a waste of time arguing about it.
Unless you run autos...then don't listen to me at all!!!!

try to not make to much training it tends to slow growth a litle spacing of the branches is all you need to do imo so you get light all over them. nice plants.
