    SOIL Can I put autoflower seedlings under HPS on 12/12?

    On Saturday I planted six Nirvana autoflower seeds in 3-gal pots using FFOF. Meant for them to live outdoors but the weather is not cooperating. After a beautiful sunny weekend, we are back to cloudy skies, daytime highs in mid to upper 60's with night temps in the low 50's all week long. My tent is currently occupied with some photoperiod strains that are due to be harvested by month's end. Temps in tent are in the 70's running 12/12 under a 1000w HPS. My question is, what if I put the autoflower seedlings in the tent? Would they be ok with 12/12, in exchange for more comfortable levels of temp and humidity? Or should I keep moving them outside during the day and in at night just to make sure they're not too freaking cold? Any advice much appreciated because I'm new to growing autos.

      Keep em under the light - too many temperature fluctuations for widdle little plants.

      My suggestion would be leave them where they are for good and increase the light once you cut your photos.
      The you can just start some new photos for outside.

        Thanks for the suggestion! I run everything outside in summer months because the tent gets unbearably hot. Guess I just jumped the gun on these outdoor autos. Hoping a week or two of 12/12 HPS won't mess them up.

      Autos will grow with any amount of light u give them 12-12 will work but u will get a smaller yield

        Right now I have two Caramelicious autos and one of The Tombs Photo under 12/12 KIND led 450 light.
        The auto Camie's are fine I just want to finish these up and get back on my 18/6 auto schedule.

          I have one more thing to throw out here even though it doesn't relate to this thread so much, but I didn't want to start a new thread and this one is active.
          My two Caramelicious Autos have some shining blotches on the larger lower leaves while the The Tombs Photo is clean?
          I'm wondering if it could be the Maple Leaf lineage of the Caramelicious or is it a microscope bug?
          I did see some really tiny reddish worms on some bigger leaves but had a few gnats so I didn't really pay much time since they all were healthy and The Tombs was clean.
