Trying outdoor growing

Yo! I have been looking into growing outdoors, guerilla style i guess since i don't have any gardens or private spaces to myself.
I live in Poland, we have hella forests here but the temperatures are rough, we're between -10 and 0 right now, but end of march the temperatures should start being at over 10 degrees.
From the research i've done all regular seeds flower until X time when the day - night cycle is just right, well here i don't have the best conditions for that since the plants would be done by october, october in poland is literally -5 degrees with snow so no shot they'll survive that. That's why i thought i'd go for a autoflowering version, Northern light (auto) it has the highest yields and should do just fine for the environement.
The bank i'll take the seeds from says that flowering time take 6-8 weeks and that 10-12 weeks after sprouting i'll be able to harvest, so my question is will the seed sprout after the 6-8 weeks regardless of the month, night day cycle, sun etc. ? And then the same thing for when i'll be able to harvest? I've found a nice spot in a large forest, they will literally get like 5-6 hours of sun daily and i'm planning on getting 20 to start.
Thanks in advance for all answers

Auto's will start to flower between 3-6 weeks from sprout. Then count on 8-10 weeks flowering time.
If you started them mid-May, they'd be done mid to end of August.
Light cycle doesn't matter but, for growth rate, the more hours of daylight the better.
Temps @ or below 20c can/will slow growth rate quite a lot. I've had auto's veg for 8 weeks between 18-20c (constant temps, indoor, winter) that would normally flower at 4 weeks. Just saying, planting earlier may not be beneficial.
Good luck! :bigjoint:

Hey thanks for the answer and just to clarify, if i plant let's say in a month, so not may nor summer, it will still take around 3-6 weeks for them to start flowering?

If it's too cold, they won't do much of anything. At 10c they might not even sprout.
