Is this a Silly Idea?

I run mixed tents ( photos and autos ) - 18/6 or 20/4 for full veg upfront ( waiting for for photo to sex ) then flip. Autos are undisturbed and flower as they will.

Once Flip is on for photos ( week 6-8 depending when i want to flip them ) - autos are in mid to late flower anyways. 12/12 will not factor into them since they are still blooming til finish.

Photo in the front - Autos in the back.
Same Tent - 12/12

Autos tend to have a bloom cycle 2-3 weeks shorter then their photo cusons. Its how ruderrails adapted to growing in high altitudes. They are accustomed to blooming during much longer light cycles to finish before the cold dark winters set in. They want a lot more photon intake. A lot of auto breaders recomend 24/7 lights on

I appreciate the response, however it didn't answer my question. In my question both the photo and the auto had an 8-10 flower time.

Ruderrails eveloved in arctic or subarctic territorys. The seasonal and solar cycles are so much faster and extream compaired to lower altitudes, and the growing season is so short 4 months or so 5 max. They would spend their entire life spand being absolutly blasted with solar radiation for 16-22hrs a day. We have come a long way with selective breeding so maybe your right, none of that truely matters, and im compleatly off base here, im not a botanist. But a true ruderrail in nature would live its whole life cycle well between equinoxes may-august never getting less then a 15-16hr light cycle
