New Grower Help? May be a stupid question but please help me.

Hi guys, I would like to do my first outdoor grow this year.
I live in south europe in a mediterranean climate.
I would like to grow this auto strain - Royal Haze Automatic from RQS: Royal Haze Automatic
(Genetic background Amnesia Haze x Skunk x Ruderalis)

What I were wondering is, when to plant it and when to harvest.
Considering it's an auto strain, then is it possible to plant it for ex. on 1st April (13 hour and 34 minutes of light)
and harvest it on 1st july? (15 hours and 20 mins of light)

And then do a second batch planting it on 1st july (15 hours and 20 mins of light)
and harvest it on 1st october (11 hours)?

Basically I were only wondering if they'd still vegetate, flower and well, do all their life cycle even with reversed hours of lights?? (from 13 to 15, from 15 to 11). And if 3 months were enough for an auto even if is outdoor.

i believe that will work. i think the second run will give you more. what are the temps like? they do tend to go up to a month longer outdoors and often inside too. especially this strain.

Temps are suitable for the grow atleast until mid september. I were only wondering if they'd still vegetate, flower and well, do all their life cycle even with reversed hours of lights?? (from 13 to 15, from 15 to 11). And if 3 months were enough.

A varying amount of light won't harm the auto and 3 months is enough for most autos, but i haven't grown that particular strain.

Anytime after the last frost and before the first frost is fine. My climate is similar and I can put plants out by early to mid April and harvest as late as mid to late October. Plenty of time for two crops. Autos don't care about the length of day light like photos do. Where an outdoor photo strain won't start to flower until after the summer solstice when the days start to get shorter, autos will flower under any amount of light. Indoors most run their lights 18, 20 or 24 hours a day, start to finish.
