Auto's and non-Auto's in one grow?

Hi guys - Newbie from Liverpool, UK here!

So went with Mimosa EVO seeds from Barney's thinking they were autos when it appears they are not?

I have no experience at all with non auto's.

I have a 120x120x200 tent with a Street Light SL-900 LED 900w light.

It would seem I have 4 non auto's (Mimosa EVO) and 2 auto's (Cindy 99) currently 15 days old.

How do I deal with flowering / light cycle in this situation? They are currently on 18/6.

Any help would be appreciated¬

Flip the light to 12/12 when you are ready to start flowering the non-autos. I can imagine if you’ve already found that they are not, or may not be autos.. that it’s been weeks since they’ve been planted. I would just flip now.

What makes you think they are nonautos? They are only 15 days old.

I bought them thinking they were autos but after checking the site they are not, so I'm 15 days in and running autos along side photos on a 18/6 - and it's my first real grow

Ah, gotcha. From what I understand, just run on the photo schedule that you'd like to run. The autos should keep up. Their yield will probably be affected a little bit by the 12/12 schedule, but they should still do fine.

The other option is to veg and train the photos until the autos are done and then harvest the autos and flip the photos to 12/12. It could be great practice on topping, LST'ing, and super cropping, keeping the photos under control while the autos finish.

I do photos and autos together all the time. Like @TCH stated run on photoperiod light schedule. Autos do gd with 12/12 or 18/6.
Figure out when to flip to 12/12 according to how big u want your plants to be. The earlier u switch the smaller they will be. Longer veg equal bigger plants. Once its half of the size u want, flip it. It will double in size during the stretch period.

I just let the autos do their thing while I focus on my photos. Last time I started my autos a few weeks before my photos. That way I’m Able to cut down the autos around the time the light schedule changes.
