Can you grow autoflowers under 12/12?

I was curious I have some blue mystic autos and I was wondering if I could grown them under 12/12 lighting or will it make the yield a lot less with lack of light to grow?

They will love and flower but will yield significantly less. One of the main benefits of autos is being able to flower under a full day of light. If you want to do 12/12 then photos are probably better.
 
I have some in a veg room and some in a flower room and don't see much of a difference, the ones under 1,000w HPS are taller then the ones under 1,000w MH.

I veg 16/8 to save on running a 1,000w 24/0.

In your case its only a 4 hour difference, but if you were vegging at 20/4 there would prob be a bit more noticeable differences imo

They are blue mystic from the nirvana shop, I'm only asking this cuz I have a random bag seed I just flipped over to 12/12 last night and was wondering if I could grow a auto with the same light schedule so I already have another plant growin incase my random seed is a male, this is my first grow with the random bag seed it's 42 days old and I just switch it to flower last night.

If you just want to grow out the auto in the same room as a flowering photo, it will peer just fine, but it might not get as big as it could. But if it's just to get in another plant in the same space, it's fine I guess.

No ya that's what I was worrying about too, I'll experiment and see what happens I have 5 AF seeds so why not use one and start it in a party cup haha, and see how big it'll get under 12/12 till I find out what my current plant is.
