18 or 24 are the best hours of light for any auto flower strain.

20/4 or 24/0 is best.

i started my auto's at 18 and then decided that 20 is going to work better. But I think that it is good for the plant to have some time of darkness, whether is be 4 or six hours..... i say that only because that it seems when i check on them right after the dark period ( i check my girls about 5 times a day they like when i breath on them ) They seem to have shot up more from the dark period.

I've done 2 consecutive autoflower grows using a 20/4 light schedule. Giving autoflowers 12 hours of light is definitely not recommended.

Thanx for all the responses.One more dumb question: High pressure sodium(HPS) or Metal halide (HD)? Which is best for the 20/4?? They are flowering so HPS seems logical,but they are flowering no matter what??

If you had your choice hps. Metal halide will flower the shit out your plant too.

hps is your best choice, metal hallide has a spectrum that is better suited for vegetation.
