introduce it slowly to the outdoors.. a few hours a day... increasing an hour a day exposure... you need to "harden" it off to the outside.. sun light is different than artificial light and if takes indoor plants some getting used to before they can handle it... should be fine after a week of this.... good luck

yes.. you can switch to 18/6 if you want.. give your plants a few days to adjust to this light cycle before starting to harden them off outside.... either way is fine.. just make sure which ever cycle you choose you stick with it!!
good luck!
good luck!

Ahhh, This is something that Iam jolly interested in.
I have 3 lowryder*chemdawg/kush seeds that Iam growing.
They started under a kitchen light fluoro 'till I could afford my cheapo 400watt grolux lights.
In the meantime I bought a few ch9 california plants and I got given some haze/skunk seeds.
That made a total of 3 autoflowers that were planted after germing on the 26th April, and 6 of the other non-autoflowering plants that were germed and then planted a week later.
I have all the plants under my 400w grolux in my wardrobe.
I havnt yet decided whether to give them 24/0 or what. 2 days ago I satrted giving all the plants 18/6.
All the plants other than my autoflowers are destined to go outside and be planted in my super-secret outside area. But when I just have the autos under my lights can/should I go back to the 24/o system?
And don't mention lower leaves going yellow please? Or I might just cry!
My soil is supposed to have enough goodness for a month, yet a few days ago my 2 slowest growing auto started turning the first 2 real leaves and their cotyledons yellow.
I thought Aha not enough N. So I mixed up a nute soloution, where the soloutin dripped on the leaves it has frazzled 'em.
And It didnt seem to help at all. SO I poured loads of water through the plants to remove the nutes I applied.
I have spent a lot of cash for someone on sickness benefit, and Iam starting to freak right out!
Iam actually on the sick because I cannot walk very far as I have acute achilles tendonitis. I have learned that dope allows me to walk about with no pain, yet I think that Iam screwing everything up!
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
thanks I feel a bit better for that!

ps. If anyone is reading this and would be kind enough to help me I can furnish you with pictures.

18/6 for your auto flower
as far as yellowing i dont know enough about autoflowers to know if they behave in the same way as "regular" plants... if the yellowing you see is caused by the same things that would cause yellowing in a "regular" plant... dont want to give you advice on that....
