hey everyone i was wondering if anyone has the Nikon 35mm 1.8g DX lens. i was wondering what f stop should i put it at so it can be its sharpest i know that every f stop should be different depending on the lighting. i was just wondering whats the most common f stop on this lens that everyone uses. if someone can please help me that would be great.

not just dependent upon your lighting
but dependent upon what you want to take a photo of, how much depth of field you want to be in focus, and how far away you are from the subject ==> A Flexible Depth of Field Calculator

According to dpreview tests, f/3.5 is about the sharpest aperture. For the sample they tested. From about f/2.8 to f/6.3 is was pretty darn flat, though.

I use mine between f/2.2 and f/8. Mine has diminished contrast at f/1.8 so I only use it there when I have too. The DoF at f/8 is as deep as I ever seem to need and at f/2.2 it is shallow enough to isolate things from the background. This image was shot at f/3.2 last summer
