Hi Swa_Swa,
A quick answer to your question is anything from 6hours per day to 24hours per day.
A friend of mine grew 2 plants in her living room with NO artificial lighting, only getting about 4 hours of direct sunlight per day and she managed 20g dry in total.
I on the other hand I use 20/4 to start them off and each week I lengthen the day by one hour so at week 4 they are on 24/0. I start with one 200W CFL and then at week 2 I put them in the grow room with 400W CFL.
I think they would make a great addition to any grow and would make for a nice early harvest, start them off at the same time as your normal MJ and then by the time you want to flower your normal plants they are well on the way and in full bloom as they start to flower at about day 21 from seed.
