Auto and photoperiod next to each other

I need some help with timing and I would really appreciate advice from anyone. So I want to do an auto and a photoperiod strand at the same time in a brummie bubbler which is a hybrid bubbling and dripping. This means that both plants will have the same nutrient schedule and I know that won’t work because of the time difference. I understand I will have to start the auto sometime after the photoperiod but have no clue as to when. Can anyone advice me on a good schedule please? Thank you
I’ve got Kush #6 as the photoperiod and compassion lime auto if this helps with the schedule, I don’t know if the strands have a timing difference important enough to make it relevant

they are strains.

plant and flower so they both finish at the same time under 12/12 light
you do the math

Or better yet have the auto finish just as you are flipping the lights to 12. But yup as chem said do the math lol. It's been my experience (limited) with auto's that mine finish in about 10 weeks give or take a week. Have you decided what strand ;) yet? O

Thank yall very much for the advice, I was hoping to start them on 18/6 then move them to 12/12. But my main concern was the nutrients. I was told that autos can take as much as photoperiod strains. So i was trying to figure out besides the nuts problem, how long to wait after starting the photoperiod kush#6 to begin the compassion lime auto. They’re both going to receive the same nutrients so because of the timeline the auto has to be started a few weeks after the regular strand otherwise I’ll end up giving my auto flora grow and micro while it’s in bloom.
So if I take into account the advice given, I should start the regular and 6 weeks later start the auto?
The brummie bubbler has two trays with one big reservoir so they’ll be receiving the exact same amount of nutrients. I’m new at all of this and have gone thru almost every problem so far, it’s time for me to get this right. Lol I really appreciate your time, help and advice. Thank you

Sorry but I couldn't answer that other than you'll be putting the seedling auto's in the same nutes that should be getting pretty high at 6 weeks. Might be kinda hot :(.

Ok, so can anyone tell me what yall think of this idea. In a brummie bubbler with dripper and bubbler, two trays. One will be a photoperiod kush#6 and I’ll be providing the trio nutrients. At week 6 I’ll start the compassion lime next to it so it can receive the grow nutrients. By week 11 both strands should be at flowering stage so I can add bloom to my reservoir. I’ve taken the advice given to me by chemph legm and budley doright and I’ve done the math. Literally. Only one problem left, all the schedules I’ve looked at tell me to use all three nutrients to begin with, just at lower amounts and at the change of stages adjust the nuts. Do you guys agree? Thanks you so much for your time, advice and help. I am fourtunate to have found proper green thumb folks who actually want to help others achieve 420.
Thank you chemph thank you budley

I grow auto's outside and honestly don't see much use for them in my indoor garden so never tried. Outdoors I'm pretty much full on organic and it stays the same through the grow with my auto's with no bloom nutes added.

Thank you, I tried doing organic outside but foxes came and destroyed my garden. I went full out on organic, eggshells, fish bones and any part of fish I could find, manure, etc... now the climate is just too cold to grow outside. I really wanted to do things naturally the way it was intended but then I got mites, then gnats, the foxes, so I took it inside. Then I got wind burn, then my ph was horribly wrong, then nutrient burn, and finally nutrient lock out, so I’m getting close to having a decent crop now after so many issues. If anyone has a timetable of Hydro auto grow and or a timetable of hydrophotoperiod grow so I can time this combination just right it would save me from adding to my list of mistakes. Lol
Then again I suppose the mistakes will one day make me a decent farmer having learned from it all. Thanks again to yall
