I plan on trying to finish the girl in flower I have pictured, plus start two new autoflower, seedlings they’ve started already. I guess I’m gonna just finish the plant I have going and move it from the tent after 12 hours to a dark space while the autos continue to receive light.Do you plan on only starting the seedling? If you move it to another room with 18/6 or 20/4 after it grows a couple of nodes should be fine but keep in mind 2 things:
1. Its gonna be slower with less light
2. Is it gonna be warm enough when the light goes off? Less than 18ºC for germination can totally mess the seedling or cripple it.
Then that means pushing the photoperiodic plant to more light than she might like in order to reach the DLI of autos. If you say it works for you I 100% believe you but for me is a no, he is using 150W panels too like me so I expect similar results but you never know until you tryi have been growing a few time auto under 12/12 mixed with my photoperiods, without any particular issues or noticeably lower yield ...
what's important in the end is DLI ...
The HLG 150w light is IMHO about the best out there for a 2 x 2Then that means pushing the photoperiodic plant to more light than she might like in order to reach the DLI of autos.

with fast flowering genetics, low flyers and the such the best thing that I’ve seen is that you blast them as much as humanly possible with veg nutes (i do jot suggest new growers take this approach, not until you can see the shit train coming down the shit tracks) and you keep your lights high output low so they stretch as much as possible before they really start to get settled into their flower runI have a bunch of autos that I wanna get rid of, youre making me wanna use them with my regular feminized seeds but my experiences in the past were underwhelming, I even had them lifted to little more than 10" from the light last time I tried (probably too close I know, but they were not coming out good so thats the way I came up to give them more light than the others). Any idea on what I could do that Im not doing or what I shouldnt do that Im doing?
Okay I see, so I need to push them early with nutes and instead of blasting them right off with light to make up for the lack of hours I should let them stretch, gotcha! Ill be generous with the nitrogen so they can stretch as much as they want. Once theyre in flower I should start giving them as much light as possible? Also what pot size would be best for that purpose? 3gal?

I consider a auto as a advanced plant to grow. You got to be on spot with them and have your technique down pat. Every misstep and action not done correctly is bad for them and stunts them. And those missteps are compounding. Take that last GG4 auto I had with a GG4 photo. A seed packaging mistake was the cause of that. Then I put the screw to it. I didn't realize it was a auto until it went preflower. So I had it 18/6 and on the low side concerning ppfd. And was treating it like a photo when it came to ferts. Compounding issues right off the bat. Then ignoring my ph because I had got insanely lazy with my tap water going up into the 8's just hosed the auto. And I hurt the photos also, but they can be corrected. But permeant damage done to the auto....
