The best book I have red for growing is
There is not much info about autos but it is full of good info. I met one of the guys who helped write it and he was a really cool guy.
There are a lot of variables here and it depends on how much you want to invest. I would recommend buying a book on growing (Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible) by Jorge Cervantes is a great cheap one on Amazon. You will get higher quality info from there than on Reddit and it served me very well and led me to a successful first grow. Personally, I use 400-watt HPS bulbs and that works great and I don't use autoflower seeds because the automatic hormone change makes cloning difficult. I hope that helps but there is far too much info that you need than what can be covered in a comment due to how many variables there are.
I recommend you get Jorge Cervantes' <em>Marijuana Horticulture</em>. It will take you from what it takes to get started with your first grow all the way up to how to grow top shelf bud. And it will allow you to troubleshoot problems when they occur so you know how to fix them. Cervantes is a subculture legend, and he's been revising and updating this book for 35 years. The ebook is $10; put it on your phone and you'll have the reference for life.

edit- BTW, I keep all heat sinks outside the bucket and don't use LED strips. That's why I don't get large temperature swings.
