So what exactly are u saying? You want to give your autos a bit of natural sunlight? When there a couple sets along you can put them in the sun for an hour or 2, this is good for them and they like it, I do this myself but not for long, maybe a week or so to get them on there way and only for an hour or 2 a day, the reasons autoflowers do poorly outdoors is the sun has red and ir light in it, this can and will cause your autos to flower prematurely and or dwarf out, they are not hardy, and in veg like blue light ie blurple, while I have seen a few nice autos grown outdoors the majority are small low yield plants, you would do much better growing your photoperiod plants outdoors and leaving your autos indoors were they belong. Pic is an oarnge haze auto, in med pre flower 18inc tall but not yet topped off, the strain acted like Meth said and is very easy to run, all I did was clip off 2 sets of fans off to get branches under the light, once your autos are out of there veg stage you can flip your light to full spec bc by this time there not going to get taller and you want a bit of red and ir in your light to help them flower, but you do not do this till they stop growing vertical and are in at least med flower, you do this to again help them along, but again not for to long maybe a week, then you switch over to full bloom till done, sometimes I cut my flower cycle to 12/12 if there not flowering, as long as they are clearly female this will induce flowering
