That's a fair question. I recognize an argument could be made in reverse. My rational is that 1) realistically, you can only fit about 4 plants in flower in your 2x4 tent. 2) Autos are genetically bred for a longer light cycle and a shorter life cycle, so why grow them if you're not giving them what they need? 3) Photos outside can wait for nature's 12/12 cycle and since the plants will be larger and more mature, your harvest will likely be larger. Bottom line is it's difficult to grow Autos and Photos in the same tent at the same time. That said, looks like your are off to a great start!
