This is my first year of trying auto flowering from short stuff i got 10 mi-5 beans and 2 fem snowryder. I am only able to keep them under 2x26 wat florescents and a 25 watt cfl. But I do have a backyard that I can keep them in during the day and then bring them in under the light at night. What should I do, please need help as I am a newb. My plants are about 2 inches and are in 2 weeks already. So that means only another 7-8 weeks of life left. I am also using superthrive and miracle bloom nutes.

Im currently 22 days into my first ever grow, got 3 auto ak-47's from lowlife. Did loads of research on auto flowers before getting started, so although not that experienced I do feel in a position to offer some input here.

The major thing of importance with auto flower plants is to give them as much light as possible. The more you give the more they produce. My advice in your situation would be to put them outside during the day (if its a sunny day of course), and then put them under the indoor lights when it gets dark outside. Most people seem to advise having at least a little bit of darkness, even for auto's, but I reckon the relatively low intensity of your lights make this unecessary.

Yep, you can put them in the sun and then bring them and put them under the lights at night. But I would wait until week 3 or so, when they start to bud. Then get them as much light as possible. It will help control the stretch some.

Cool, thanks. And they will yield more by being put outside right? Like I won't get some bullshit 7g's off of each plant? I heard that autoflowerings are much better now than they were 4 years ago and they put off much bigger yields now. When should I start putting them on the bloom nutes? Week 3 or 4?
