New grower, got a 1200 watt hps tent kit, going to do 4 large photoperiod plants in it n veg for around 8 weeks under 18/6 light cycle, the question is can i put a few small autoflowers in along with them while the photos are the in veg? So I can get a smoke while waiting on the flowering of the photoperiod plants?

Sure, I did.. Just make sure they get atleast 18/6 or your yield will suffer.. I had to switch 12/12 sooner than I wanted and my autos finished under 12/12 for bout 3 weeks or so.. I got shitty yield on mine..

Can you not finish auto's on 18/6 cycle throughout the full grow?

yeah but he' saying after u switch to 12/12 on the photos I think . The autos will take longer than 8 weeks. you could extend the veg on the photos or supplement with an small light on the autos for a few hours after taking them out when the light goes off.

I've seen a few strains that finish from seed in 60-65 days, don't think vegging photos an extra week or 2 would do much harm if I'm getting a good smoke out it plus shud increase my yeild on the photos with extra veg time

Yes and u should, I had to switch cuz my photos were out growing my space so my autos paid for it so to speak.. My autos went like 75-80days..
Yeah mate didn't realise what you meant with your 1st reply until I read it properly. Hopefully I will have enough room, I miby put the auto's in a week before I put the photos in just to be safer, if I does get too crowded auto's will just end up out, I've never grown before but have a little bit of knowledge what to do although I know it a different story doing it. Hopefully I'm fine n end up with something to smoke out it lol

I'm still kind of researching mate, been looking at the widow or northern lights though because they suppose to be easier to grow for inexperienced growers lol. Tbh I'm kinda hoping for 20 ounce of 4 big ones vegged for 9 weeks but hoping and getting 2 different things lol. 4 in 30litre rhizopots bio nutes 1200 watt hps so I'm hoping for 20+ lol but will see.

I got a lil over 45oz on my 10 photos under 2x1000 hps, got about 2oz from my 4autos in same space.. I'm bout to start my next run, cookies kush, triple cheese and white widow.. Although I don't have that space anymore so I'm seriously downsizing..lol

Soil.. I had good yields from my vanilla kush (Barney's farms) and white widow x big bud, the vk was much better smoke I'm looking forward to my cookies kush I'm bout to start I've heard lots of good things about it.. I'm only on my 4th run so still pretty new.. My autos were Heavyweight fast&vast.. And they wasn't fast or vast..lol could have been me tho and I did cut the lights to 12/12 with atleast 3weeks to go so that may have contributed.. I would recommend Herbies for seeds, fast and stealthy great customer service.. Not the greatest freebies but there freebies..lol I actually emailed them and requested an Indica freebie cuz I didn't want the sativa( limited space) and they honored my request..
