we normally do 24 for the first 4 weeks, then cut back to 20/4 until almost finished, then two days of 100% dark and then we harvest.

Look at why there are auto's and what the light cycle would be. That said they are for far north climates because the summers are short and typical daylight that far north (artic circle) is 18 hours a day so stay with that they are bred for those conditions

LOL...the Arctic circle get 24 hours sun per day in the peak of the summer (for 6 weeks).......18 hours/day is rather common in the northern half of the Canadian provinces during the summer

BTW: nobody lives in the Arctic circle, except for a military base

In all seriousness, 20/4 or 18/6 do have advantages. One, they will save a little on your electricity bill. Two, like previously stated, it will allow your light's ballast to cool. Also, if you can afford a few cfl's for veg you will be able to really save on your bill and ultimately make your hps last longer. Overall, 175 hps puts out over 17k lumens so of course it will work just fine.

W0w assclown nice observation so if a plant is growing in the artic circle it is not alive? The plant is not living there? Do me a favor cupcake learn about the world keep your cum dumpster shut and move the fuck on and off my nut sack. Autos do best with 20 hours of light strait through. But yet as I degress you wordly knowledge this lil bit maybe to much for your ego to handle, or your lazyness to actually research something out.

so much horrible advice here, i dont know it all but first and foremost i will try to answer all your questions. if you can only afford one bulb go with the hps. 24/7 works best especially with such small wattage. ive had autos take up over a meter square so depending on strain i would advice to do research and choose the ones right for you. also starting seeds on 12/12 increases your chances of getting females, so you cant start them 12/12 then switch to 24/7 once they sex. size of plant will be determined by pot size and enviroment. thats all i got
