Iam not sure if i understood your question
i would piick a timeperiod with more lighthours than now for an outdoor. I mostly start my outdoors in beginning of june to have the sweetspot of light and temperatures.
if i did not meet your question pls write again
As far as I can tell, this is the only real plus to autos. If grown outside, they will follow a time frame, not a light cycle. This way, you can get at least 2 harvests per season. Hope this helps.
