(NL Auto RQS)So my outdoor plants are getting about 6-7 hours of straight sunlight on a sunny day.I know its not that much but its the best spot i could find thats reachable for me (40min walk).Now i know their not going to be the biggest but i was wanting to know if that light is enough for them to get to a decent size?

It's enough for a photo strain but I haven't grown enough auto's to say. My few auto's have done well yield wise with the same appr. Direct light.

I think you will be very good . straight sun light for that long will make huge plants.

If you can only get that much straight sun as your main source of light keep the plant under some CFL light, Autos do best on an 18/6 or 20/4 light schedule.

That amount of direct sunlight is fine. It still gets light when its not direct.

^^^^^ I would think indirect sunlight would still be better than direct CFL but that's just a guess. The few auto's I have done never get a full day of direct sun and have produced well, they were just shitty smoke lol.

What Paulie said ^^^^^^^^^^

I do a cpl outdoors for personal and gifting/parties. I set them between things that limit direct sun too. About the same as you have.
Trust me, they'll come out just fine!
