How many hours of light to NOT turn to veg state

Hey guys, i have 2 photoperiod plants and they are flowering. When they have like 6-7 weeks of flowering i need to start growing a few autos under the same light. Now obviously the light schedule is 12/12 now (600w HPS). I have really fast autos (6 weeks from seeds to harvest).

Question is, can i grow autos under 12/12 from start to finish, i know that the yield is going to be reduced but there's no other way to do this, or i can't think of one.(I need to syncronise so they finish at the same time, the photoperiods and the autos). What would be the MAXIMUM ammount of light hours i can give the photo's without changing back to the vegetation cycle and keep flowering while the autos are being fed atleast decent hours of light?.....

I never cloned before so maybe i was thinking what if i try to clone one of the photoperiod, Samsara - Holy Grail 69, its a monster. Can i clone while the plant is in flowering period and put it right under 12/12?

Clone that slut!!! Or wait. Its foolish to compromise the grow of your photoperiod plants for a couple Auto's and visa versa. I'm guessing this is for yield purposes. You could also maximize the yield of your photo's by scrog'ing. Either way, be patient and try to stray yourself from making unplanned, last minute decisions like this. Think about it, if there were a benefit to this, the entire grow community would start popping Auto beans during their Photo's flower cycle to maximize yields. It wont work.

Why not use your light at night and supplement your auto with natural sunlight?
