Autoflower mixed with photos dilemma

[lymp]

my photo plants have grown into eachother and need to go 12/12 ASAP. I dont want to mess up my auto though.

Can I push the light cycle back up after a few days to maybe 15/9 and still keep the photo plants in flowering?

Go on to 12/12. It will not bother the auto plants. They are on their own schedule.

I grow them together quite often. As Rifleman said, the autos are on their own schedule. I like using auto's to fill in empty spaces in my grow area, veg area, etc.

thanks for the replies

The thing is at the moment I need the auto to be priority as my cancer treatment has been moved forward, so I want to maximize the auto yield and avoid delaying harvest time as much as I can.

I also need to flip the photos ASAP now as they are too big and I doubt the autos will yield that much for oil. Ideally I need two grow spaces but trying work the best solution with the space I have.

Will switching lights to 12/12 on an auto that late into bloom have any effect on yield at this point?

Maybe a little-shorter hours of light will equal a little less growth on the auto,so
you'd probably get a few grams less.
I think it would affect it more in early flower than late.

Can I push the light cycle back up after a few days to maybe 15/9

Once you've switched to 12/12 on the photos,messing with the light schedule could cause
them to re-veg,which will slow them waaay down...

*edit* Just noticed the original post is from 2015....back from the dead...

Dang this is old. I’m just asking because I’m about to switch my tent to 12/12 with two autos because my photoperiod strain is ready to go into flower.
