Auto Flower lighting question

I've started back up after the summer heat, and have started some auto flower seeds that attitude so kindly included with my order. This weekend I will be starting up the flowering room at 12/12 this weekend.
So the question should I leave my auto flower under the 18/6 lighting (6 T-5 lights) or should I move them into the flower room (1000watt HPS)?
I would think the best plan would be to move them to the more intense lighting even if it is a shorter lighting time.

thanks,

Out of the 4 auto flower bonus seeds only 1 did not start. All 4 of the blue cheese have started. Thanks Attitude!
 
They will flower regardless of the lighting schedule. Ideally you would want to put them under the 1000watt on 18/6, or 20/4. The buds will be weak if left under t5. I've never put auto's on a 12/12 schedule, but I know others have thinking that they werent gonna auto and then ended up just leaving them there with good results.
Do you have other (reg.) plants that need the 12/12?, you could veg. them alittle longer till the autos are done in the flower box.
 
Yes I do have others that I am starting 12/12. All are 18/6 under the 1000HPS right now. And more that a couple more weeks and they will be to tall by harvest so it needs to happen soon. I think its time to change the lights soon.

Thanks
