My auto isn't auto.. Now what? Please advise.

I'm looking for some advice on the best course of action. I just found out that my Barney's Farm CBDCritical Cure plant is not auto. The seed banks messed up and sold these as auto. She is a real beauty though and I can't wait to harvest her.

Right now I run my lights 20/4. In my tent I have the following females:
  • 1 small auto 7 weeks old. I'm just waiting for her trichomes to turn. She is all bud.
  • 1 cbd critical cure that was supposed to be auto. 4 weeks old.
  • 1 royal queen auto 4 weeks old.
  • 1 photo girls scout cookie mother plant that I really don't care about.

The cbd (photo) is my most important plant and I also love the northern lights auto. . If I just flip my lights to 12/12 right now I figure this:
  • my already flowering auto will finish without too many problems
  • my cbd will flower for 8 more weeks and yield well
  • my northern lights auto???? ... that's the question..I figure she will yield, just not as much as she could under 20/4 lights
  • My mother will flower.
Is this a reasonable course of action switching to 12/12 right now?

Here is a pic of the cbd and the NL auto side by side. Very bushy and ready to flower. (cbd critical cure on right. NL on left.

Here is my flowering unknown auto a week ago. She has more flowers now.

Please chime in and let me know what you would do.
Thx

i would wait until the NL auto finishes to flip another 6 weeks of veg will make your photo's yield prolly twice as much as they will if you flip now the NL has high CBD if thats what your concerned about then i would think you would want your NL to get max yield

Autos do just fine under 12/12 so no worries there. But the plant in the second pic isn't looking so good. That would concern me when it comes to yield more than anything. Keeping them healthy through out fower.

Yea, That one has great buds, real frosty now. Maybe she is pineapple express. She has always had light colored leaves, but there seems to be no chlorophyll now. I'm just going to let her finish. I started with scotts soil so it has been difficult to know exactly what's happening. I think the ph is really high. No matter what I try, nothing has helped. Now I use Roots Organic and have things dialed in. Live and learn :)
