Need some help

I just go into growing and am about halfway through with flowering. This is my first grow and I have two plants, one regular and one auto. I didnt know that I wasnt suppose to change the lighting cycle for an autoflower until I did a little reading on this site. SO, both of my plants have been on 12 12 cycle for 4-5 weeks. Should I change the cycle back to 18 6 cycle for my auto or just ride it out until harvest?

Hi there, I just dealt with similar issue. Auto's need more than 16 hrs of light to flower at full potential. So less light= less outcome. It will still bud fine, just take longer and not the best harvest for that strain. I wouldn't change your room just for an auto plant because the regular will stop flowering for sure. I'd rather have a small auto and a healthy regular plant over a healthy auto. What strains are they? The best time to use an auto is when you have a veg room and a bud room, so you leave the auto in the veg room and you get bud from both rooms.
 
Its a Purple kush auto. I am currently flowering in my closet. I have a grow cabinet that the auto got too tall for so I had to move to the closet. So, I could move the Reg which is super silver haze to the cabinet and leave the auto in the closet. What do ya think?

Nice colors! Yeah move the reg and give the auto more light. Just make sure the light is good enough for both plants and they will thank you. Auto will grow amazing with 18 hrs of light....you'll see. Love the colors! ;-)
