Autoflowers in 12/12

Hey guys I have a small dilemma. I have a girl(photoperiod) that is ready to flower but have two other small autoflowers in the tent as well. I planned on passing off the two autos but I will be keeping them now. The autos are only about a week old with the first set of true leaves coming in. My question is, if I flip the lights now on the photoperiod will it affect the autos at all? Will they still grow like an auto should at 12/12? I only ask because I don’t want to start another tent and would like for them to just grow together. I think they would finish out about the same time now. I’m hoping running them at 12/12 the entire cycle will be ok and still yield decent. I’m not looking for a spectacular yield anyways. It’s my first autoflower. I’ve attached pics so you can see the ages and sizes of the three. The photoperiod is 4 weeks from seed today. My tent is 4x2 so I need to flower her fast or I’m afraid she’s gonna grow too tall. Thanks guys!!

Size and yield will suffer on a plant that yield and size suck to begin with. Sure there are some autos that can yield and be beasts, it won’t make up for the 75% that turn out less then a zip :lol:

Yeah man, everyone should try them, you will love them or hate them. I know they have a purpose and all that too, tried a couple times but genetics have come along ways too. I won’t run autos indoors again regardless.

I've got 3 autos in the same tent with photo plants, 12/12 from seed, but not far enough along to comment on anything. First time running autos 12/12 from seed. They are further along than yours though

As witnessed, mentioning autos on RIU seems to bring out the negatives toward the little ones.

I've grown autos and photos together for 20 yrs...of course on 12/12. Even with 2 ltr pots, my yeilds are good enough for me. Healthy plants are my only goal...1-2 oz yeilds are also good enough for me.
Autos have come a long way since being developed way back when and gotten closer and closer to photos in potency....
Gotta remember...no where does it say autos 'require more'...only that they 'can handle more'.
Photos tie your hands...autos don't give a shit and do their thing anyway.

Is this 12/12 from seed or only when they start to flower for the autos?

I veg everything, autos and photos, under T5HO, 24/0, the first 3 weeks, then move to flower tent on 12/12. I know there may be more options but I just stay on the KISS system.
