Tell me how bad of idea this is...

[Schwaggy]

I started 3 photoperiod plants, the 2 cbd seeds germinated but the 1 thc seed failed germinate. It poked a tap root but not enough energy to do anything else.

I don’t have anymore seeds but one autoflower, candy kush. I plan on vegging the cbd ones for 4-6 weeks, then flip to 12/12.

How bad of idea would it be to start that auto. The cbd plants are only 4 days above soil.

So the majority of flower will under 12/12 for the auto. Not sure how bad it would affect yields. Anybody with insight and/or experience with this? Thanks all.

I wouldn't grow them together because of the light schedule, 12/12 for the photo and anywhere from 16/8 to 24 hrs of light for the auto. I'm pretty sure the auto would suffer under 12/12.

Go for it. Run 24/0 or 16/8 lights for your veg, 12/12 is adequate for autos, they do it in nature all the time!

Go ahead and grow the auto. I started growing auto’s to fill the space in my tent, rather than waste the light energy already running.
The yields won’t suffer much if you can run 20/4 for the first 3 weeks of the auto to establish the roots.
Some autos recommend a 14/10 schedule anyways.

You are correct. I know from experience. Also, generally, autos don't get as tall.
