Can Autoflowers survive Outdoor in phoenix early spring

Hello just got finished harvesting a small grow, I am thinking about growing some autoflowers inside and putting them outside for flower. Going guerrilla with it. Phoenix got some messed up weather and looking at past tempters it looks like it could work. from march 1st (historical avg. 73*-51* )to April 25 (historical avg. 88* high - 63* lo). I think the temps look ok, but daylight might be the prob. Looking at 11.5 hrs of light on the 1st of march - 13.5 hrs on April 25th. Could this be possible would hrs of light going up hurt the plant? would it be fine if its an auto?

Autos do better with ample light. I'd do a 24 hr. veg period indoor and then put the plants out. I do this and can flower in mid summer.

Mid summer is kinda hot here, 100* sometimes, thats why i was thinking early spring just dont know if it will get enought light

I get triple digits as well, but my point is that a 24 hour vegetative period indoor will allow you to flower outdoor any time of year.

You do understand that Autos are not photoperiod plants dont you?

First off I have never grown an auto, but from my understanding...you need to start them off in the pot that you want them to grow in...NO TRANSPLANTING! and since they are not photo period plants, I think you will be fine putting them out then...just my humble opinion
