Hey guys - I have some autos growing next to some photoperiods... I put the autos in with the photoperiods figuring they would be done right around when I switched to flower cycle, but I had some longer-than-expected veg time with the autos, and shorter than expected veg time with the photoperiods, so Im about to switch to 12/12 - do you think Im going to see any significant harvest loss on the autos now that they'll be receiving 6 hours less light per day?
 
Bout midway, buds are all still like, thumb size, just starting to get out of the white-n-fuzzy phase, if that makes sense?
 
Yield will be for sure lower.
How much lower no one can tell you.

Yes, you will have a significantly reduced harvest, because you are feeding them 33% less light energy.
My autos average about 12-13 weeks from germ to harvest, so you might've underestimated auto time.
 
Ive grown these same autos before (Some white widows, some SLH's, both from seedsman...) - but the last oneswere a year or so ago and I tihnk seedsman has gotten a lot of the ruderalis characteristics out since then - these girls are fat compared to my first auto grow, and they vegged for a lonnng time.

I found my solution last night without having to increase my power/space, my wife rigged up some really fantastic frames and sealed curtains for over the photos... Ill use them for the first couple weeks of flower while these autos finish out... Little more labor intensive but not a big deal with my grow size.
