Should I add an AUTO?

So I'm currently growing a Barney's Farm Mimosa Evo on day 51 of veg and was wondering if I could start a Barney's Farm LSD AUTO alongside it when I flip her over to flower in the next week or so.

What do you guys think? If so, should I pop the seed now?

I just installed a new Viparspectra 450W LED that replaced the Omega 300W CFL in my 4x2 tent.
This is my first grow of any kind, so this is all a new experience for me and with a lot of research and help from the Rollitup Community I've managed to make it this far!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Growing!



This is the space I'm working with and I have space big enough for another 20L pot to fit comfortably next to this one and I could also add my old CFL as support for the LED if recommended!
Should I pop?!

I wouldn’t. Autos need a full 18/6 light cycle or more; it will stunt it big time if you pop one next to a regular photoperiod plant at 12/12. Plus if you have 2 plants fighting for space...the bigger one always wins. And after all that it’s still an auto. They suck. Pop reg seed and don’t look back; you’ll be glad you did. I would save the auto seed for a potential outdoor grow which imo is what they are best suited for.

I wouldn't add any other plants to that setup either, but man, autos get a lot of hate...

Thanks everyone, I've decided not to and to put all my care and concentration into this plant and veg for another week till I flip her to flower.
