do i need to set my camera to mono ? or can i just change it in post ? will it make any difference to how well i can get my black and white pic if not set to mono and change it in Lightroom ?

My experience has been that shooting in color and changing to B&W during PP has a better result than shooting in mono & trying to "refine" in PP, but YMMV.

Shoot in colour and convert in Lightroom and use the colour sliders to adjust, your results will be far superior to monochrome from your camera
EDIT: Better still, invest in NIK Silver Efex Pro.

You can get a 30 day trial...but just be prepared to buy it afterwards, as you won't want to edit without it anymore.

Same here. Seems to be better tonal qualities if shot in color...then convert.
