Regular home depot cfls 10 of them at 5000k ...im running them on 12/12
I just grew out some Nirvana NL autos, I used CFL's, 24/0 pulled 2.5 zips from her. I used mixed spectrum 6500 and 2700 got the 6 packs from lowe's, about 10 bucks a pack.. I recommend at least 18/6, if not 20/4 or 24/0 You're going to sell your self short running an auto on 12/12. They aren't going to spike your electricity and this time of year, no heat. They already grow a little fluffy under CFL, going 12/12, I'd be afraid they'd be a lot less dense and it will certainly affect your yield. Remember, the biggest benefit of an autoflower isn't just that it finishes quicker, it's also easier to manage with lighting schedule and you don't have to worry about light leaks. Good Luck with your grow!

They make theses things at wal-mart there for windows but it's like a cloth type deal and it blocks the light maybe you could hang it on the outside of the door? www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Polyester-Room-Darkening-NYC-Curtain-Panel-Set-of-2/26012856 mines solid instead of a two piece! Trust me I have to sleep in total darkness and my plants are going in the room with me so I'll be buying a set to block the light myself! My fiancée don't care about light she could sleep thru a earthquake! On mine the other side it's white so it could possibly reflect the light back to the plant!!! I'm going to run 16 hours or 18 not sure yet
