So I've got 4 mystery seeds, Pretty positive they are not auto (free from buddy)
Then I started 2 auto ak's about 2 weeks after, will they still flower in 18/6? Hoping to keep the first 4 vegging while the ak finish. Still in process of getting a tent.
so separate rooms isn't really an option nor do I have the extra lights I've noticed alot of people having a flower / veg room, I'm not that lucky lol. Anyways thanks :)

Your autos should flower under any light cycle. 20/4 and 18/6 are the 2 most popular. It is fine to veg your photos while you run your autos. Just don't cut your light cycle down to 12/12 on your autos or you will lose a lot of yield. I veg photos while running a few autos since I only run 1 space. Makes things more interesting for me and you get some quick turn around smoke.

Thanks :), it's been rather difficult to find clear info on Autos on here. Seen the odd person mention their cycle and caught some ideas. That'll help with my impatience and hopefully can let the photos get alot bigger than I would have let them otherwise lol.

Don't know your growing experience but the best advice I can give is don't over love your plants. Avoid overwatering and over feeding. Sometimes less is more. Autos tend to be lighter feeders than photos. Best of luck and let us know if you have anymore questions.

First timer, have a grow journal of the experience so far. Its actually fairly humorous but I've been reading my butt off on here for the past week or so & have gotten better lol. Ive been loving them with my eyes and using the light pot test . but yeah I can defiantly see how they could be loved to death lol. So far I have no nutes at my disposal but that's hopefully near future .research has barely started on that topic :).

Autos are not photo period plants, they have pre determined genetics. The plants will typically begin reliably flowering at certain amount of internodes.
