How long do autos take from seed to harvest?

I got a couple autos with my recent seed order. Never grown an auto before but I'm going to throw one in a hempy bucket in my tent for the next run and just wondering what to expect in regards to how long they take to flower and ripen. I know it varies strain to strain... but just a general idea. It's a Delicious Seeds cheese candy auto.

Also, at some point the autos will be getting 12/12 HPS light... will this hurt their yield/potency?

I ran a bubbleicious auto under 12/12...once it started flowering took 9weeks...it was sativa dom tho...like u said it varies... ull just have to each it.......this thing went thru weird phases tho so prob not best example....I'm learning not to plan or expect anything n just watch plant...they all grow n flower diff...not only strain to strain but pheno to pheno...ull just have to watch it meant to say.

adv 8-9 wks

just water first two weeks
start food third at 1/4 strenth then work your way up to 1/2 strenth an max there - dont like strong food
luv light the more the better it will deliver -never 12/12 18/6 or 20/4 all the way through
i start on veg food till flowers are set little buttons then i switch to flower following same schedules
hates transplant will handle one gentle one i normally do one around three from red cup to home
1 normaly stop food at 7 wks and switch my food water alternating schedule to a molasses water alternating schedule- at 7 till finish by trichombs not by calender
easy to take care of give them plenty light
dont be up potting them
dont over feed
other then that just like other plants
the lies say they cant be cloned but they can just a waste of time
clone takes age of mother so both to flower and start to die together cant be kept
waste of time

like i said other then three things just like any other plant
can be pollenated all the same

60-90 days or so seems to be the average, different strains vary. usually you go by whatever the breeder has listed for the harvest time, then add a week or so. really you need to go by trichrome colors to determine if a plant is ready for harvest. all times given are just estimates for optimal growing conditions

You will get a much better yield if you can give them atleast 18 hours of light for their entire life.
