Growing Autos Under 12/12 Then Switching

[Aolelon]

Hello, I have 2 photoperiods just entering week 4 of flowering and i want to start a couple autoflowers. If i grow these autoflowers under 12/12 at first and when the photoperiods finish flowering would i then be able to switch the lights to a different schedule and start more autoflowers or would that be too stressful for them and cause problems?

U could but the autos will suffer, as they are set for a certain grow time 70-80 days as example with lights constant 18/6, u will miss 6 hours of light a day in that month, in turn reducing light they need for the veg stage, they won’t produce what they r capable of as a result

auto aren't photoperiod dependent for flowering using a diminished light schedule will affect your overall yields.....
