Autoflowering light question

Ok, so I’m supplementing this grow with two auto flowers. I’ve only ever grown out a few auto’s in the past and I’ve always grown them under a 24 hour light cycle under a 400 watt metal halide over by my vegging plants. I just pushed my regular girls into the flower room so the veg area is empty. The autos vegged under fluorescent lights with the other plants but they just got put under the 400 metal halide but since the other girls went to the flower room the area is rather dark, the auto’s just started budding And I’m wondering if thats enough light for the 2 auto’s? My options would be to put them under a bank of fluorescents and keep the 24 hour light cycle or toss them into the flower room but then of course they would be on the 12/12 light cycle. I haven’t grown enough auto’s to know which is the better option? Advice please? Thank you!

I have pretty limited experience with autos. I think they would produce more, if daylight hours are longer than 12 hrs.
Kind of the point of them, unless they fail to autoflower
