am I growing autos or photos? 10 days in

Would anyone be able to guess if this is auto flowering or not? Was very fortunate and had 100++ seeds thrown at me for free. So now I’m growing. Always wanted to but I’m so broke I’m really just throwing shit together at this points Have slight general understanding, but had no info on my seeds. Germinated them and then planted them the 15th. So today is day 10. I’m guessing not just because of the grow rate but I’m just using some store bought fancy organic potting soil so that could be my issue. I live in a very sunny valley town, and they get almost exactly 12 hrs natural sun, and if it’s cloudy I have a crummy 60w plant light I got from Lowe’s I put them under for a little extra time before “putting them to bed.” A small humidifier that is keeping up pretty well I just don’t have a way to measure %. 5gl buckets, with the soil in the pic. filtered water from the fridge I haven’t ph tested yet. And just got some surprisingly really decent nutrients from Lowe’s also. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

These plants grow wild outside so it will grow with what you got going on no problem. Also you won’t be able to tell if they are photo or auto until they flower. Autos will just start flowering regardless of what you do because it’s in their dna. Photos will react to you changing the light because their hormone controlling genes are photosensitive. Their isn’t really a way to tell until then but don’t worry about it because the process for both before flowering is the same.

Thank you for your response and knowledge. However, being outdoor, and only indoors at night, I don't have the control most would when it comes to controlling the light. My concern is the typical size of photos is going to be impossible for me to continue doing what I'm doing (walking them inside at night through a normal sized door). As well as concealing from nosey neighbors and a stern conservative grandfather neighbor. Hope to be full time indoors with a spare room I have, but have to get back to work and pay off some back rent (thanks covid).
