how much harm will 12/12 do to an auto?

Hey guys.
i started 11 plants in my tent. 4 of which i believed to be autos.
4 NL x BB autos, 4 GSC and 3 hollywood kush. so my autos
are in about 2-3 week flowering and the rest of the plants are getting pretty
big, almost time to need to be flipped to 12/12. now i only have one tent
so all the plants have to be on same schedule.

my question. has anyone done an auto @ 12/12 does it ruin it or affect
if enough where it would be a bad idea to do it?

my plan b is to have my tent be on 12/12 and take the autos outside right before i turn
the light off and they stay under the sun an additional 5-7 hrs since i heard they need 19 hrs.

anyone with experience with autos please weigh in. this shit is stressin me out lol
this will be my first indoor harvest i just wanna do it right.

12/12 just yeilds less is all
plan B would be the best solution IMO
seeing how there already flowering it may not hurt them as much to finish under 12/12 if your not to terribly concerned about yield they will be just fine when the flip comes

i doubt you will pull zips from autos on 12/12. i think i pulled 1/4 zip and 1/2 last 2 i let hang out in the 12/12 area and they where even in the 18/6 period for about 3 weeks at the start.

the strain he's growing 2-3 weeks into flower like he is he could probably harvest now with a 1/2 a zip
from my experience with them

I had an auto outside, it was about 18/6 and I barely got a half oz from it, plan b sounds the best to give her more light
 
I'm with tek on this one, you won't hurt them. It won't hurt your yield as much as people think, the strain your growing should yield pretty good. With good auto genetics, there's no reason you should be pulling under a zip off each in "good" conditions. I just pulled over three zips from one of my Sensi Skunk #1 autos, seven combined from all three.

now grow the same strain out about 10 times and you'll start pullin 1/4 lbs and up off a plant

You have no clue of the nute's being used... the sized pots... veg time... everything...
so before you leave traces of misguided evidence... delete that...
might of been your nice ass grow.. but no info of the grow climate or anything is added in your post...
so it's irrelevant to everyone else's grows.
This isn't anything directed to you... just for the other unexperienced members that might come across this.
Sorry to put you on blast... but it's nothing but the truth.
