Auto, or is it?

I only grow indoors. I prefer the controlled environment. Every summer I try one outdoors among my tomatoes. Usually ends up a flop for a variety of reasons. Short NE growing season, too much rain, wind.

Here's one of my fav strains. Wedding Cheesecake by 420 Fastbuds. But is it? Could it be a photo in disguise?

Notice the timeline on the photos. No explosive growth like you often see in autos. Plant was started indoors. 600w MH. Soil was a 50/50 mix of FFOF and coco. Placed outdoors on 6/14.
Since I placed it outdoors all it's done is stretch. If you look closely it just went into flower. I still have 2.5 months left in my growing season so we'll see.
First photo is 6/14, second is 6/20, third is today ( my birthday) 7/10.

I usually start indoors vegging,then move outdoors for flowering. They will stretch a bit after they are outside. Wouldn't recommend that way for autos. But then I have only grew a few autos. They do better with a constant 18/6 light schedule. Tie it down (lst) should slow some of the stretch. If already outside, leave it there. Might shock it going back to 18/6 now. Photo or auto,if it's flowering,go with it. It'll still flower just be fluffy airy buds. Problem will be controlling humidity, outside. Too much moisture on buds or high humidity cause budrot.maybe a greenhouse with a fan might help.
