indoor to outdoor?

ill be growing my first auto flower this summer (auto AK: blimburn seeds) but i want to grow it indoors first before it gets strong enough to handle the outdoors. so my question is, to not fuck with the plant as much as possible, what light regimen should i use when growing it indoors the first week or two? the same as it is outdoors right now? that made the most sense in my mind... any input is much appreciated

Most autos reguire 18/6 at least but due better on 20/4 when indoors. Thats what I'd start them at before moving them to outdoor.

i start all my autos outside, even during the height of summer. outside the plants get direct sun, which they love. no indoor light can come close to the rays of the sun. i do bring them in at night to be unde cfls GL

i would start them indoors at 24/0 then after preflower start to harden them off start with a hour atleast a couple days not direct sunlight then start working longer times then more direct sunlight might shock them going from indoor temps to outdoor if just tossed out thing is you want the 24/0 blue spectrum for aslong as possible that will max your size i grow mine on 24/0 and they never slow down until about 2-3 weeks after preflower i would use that as the timer ding so to speak if i was going to put some outdoors just my opinion
 
so basically when light acclimating it to the outdoors just give it a little bit more direct light each couple of days?
