Hi, Currently I’m in the week 2 with a seedling Tangie auto from BSF and in the week 1 with a Al auto from fastbuds, both outdoor I’m in the end of summer and I notice that I have 6hrs of direct sun light per day? Is this bad for my plants or they can live with this sun light?

roughly a minimum of 21-22DLI is considered the threshold for growing decent buds... with that info you could guesstimate how much it got that day referencing a regional DLI map... ~35-40 dli is about as much as they can use in a 24 hour period given atmospheric co2. (co2 is the limiting factor in the chemical equation.. you can bank on this with common sense -- variables involved make it a ballpark idea not a precise value.)

That's fine. There's so much indirect light outside, the plant won't die due to lack of direct sunlight. I have friends that grow under forest canopies and their plants get 1-2 hours of direct sunlight a day. Their plants still produce nice buds and make it through the whole cycle. Is it optimized? No. Will it provide sustenance for the plant and decent smoke for you? Definitely.

it's not great, but it won't hurt it. it got less energy that day... a very cloudy day might be similar. it depends on region too... the sun is much stronger in some regions... you can reference a regional DLI may for the time of year -- any good source will have 12 months of maps for your area as it changes with seasons too... the world revolves on a tilted axis relative to the sun. if in a high dli area, it may have gotten a good amount even with 8 hours, but most likely was a bit short that day.

Your plant can calmly finish its life cycle. The more hours of direct light it gets, the more it will favor the growth of the plant. Don't worry, your plant is going to live.
