Its a auto so id leave it on 18/6 its whole life. It will start to flower on its own. Also not all sunblaze systems are 8 bulb. They range from 2ft single bulbs to 4ft 8bulbs.
Id say grow in soil its more forgiving and extremely easy. With autos you want to go light on the nutes. I just finished 2 green-o-matic autos and only fed them 3 times in there life cycle. I had no yellowing leafs from def either. That was a soil grow (straight promix).
If your choices were floro or led id lean towards the floros. You can find t5ho systems for fairly cheap check cl even. Just use 6500k bulbs until you see buds forming then switch to 3000k. If budgets tight you can use 6500k for the whole grow, its just not ideal. Led lights can be spendy and theres too many cheap units. Def do your research on a specific led if your thinking about buying one.
5gal pots are a little overkill for a auto. I grew mine out in 3.4gal airpots and it didnt use all the soil space. I would start them out in a 16oz plastic cup them transplant to a 2 or 3 gallon pot tops. 2gal is prob all the bigger you will need. DO NOT top or fim a auto. You really dont want to stress them sinse there life cycles so short. I wouldnt lst it either but thats just my opinion. Let them grow natural. I got just under 2oz from my autos under a 600w hps on a 12/12 light cycle. Yes I know they need a 18/6, but I had beans laying around and space in my flower tent not being used. I bet if I left them on 18/6 I would of pulled another half oz of the pair.
