Night time temps?

Hey guys.

Well, I just popped a couple of bagseeds, and have them under a few 27w soft white CFLs, but now I'm finding I have a little dilemma. I live in a very cold climate, and the closet where I have my setup doesn't have a heat vent, so it gets very cool in there, especially at night (like 45-50 degrees F). I have the lights on 24/7 right now, and I think that's been keeping my babies warm enough, but I'm afraid to switch to 18/6 because I'm thinking that'd be too damn cold during those 6 hours of darkness, even if I set up the dark period during daytime hours.

So... how important are those 6 hours of darkness? Would it be detrimental to keep the lights on 24/7 throughout the vegetative stage? How much damage would temps that low do to my plants? Hopefully I'll be able to buy a little space heater or something by the time I have to throw them into 12/12... I'll worry about that when I get there.

Anyway, thanks for reading my post. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Af,
I've read on here that better results were achieved by keeping the lights on 24 hours compared to 18, so you will be ok.
I'm flowering in similar conditions and I use an oil filled electric heater with temp settings. I picked it up @ Wally World.
