Auto/photo issue

I accidentally planted 2 autos and 2 photos…in the same 4x4 tent…autos are ready for 48hrs dark before harvesting.

Should i expect any problems from the photos in 48 hrs darkness

Just skip the 48hr of darkness and harvest them.

If you must give them a dark period put them in a dark place other than the tent. Personally I haven’t seen any benefit from a dark period.

Should be fine sitting in the dark as long as humidity doesn’t spike or can just harvest now and hang in a cool dark area until tent clears

I once saw a video of Bruce Bugbee saying that 48 hours of light before harvest is better than 48 hours of darkness.

I used to do the 48 hours of dark but I stopped, it just doesn’t seem to make any difference, if there is a noticeable difference then the plants were just a few days short of being ready imo.

I like to let my plants go a touch longer than most though haha.

I also grow photos and autos together and I never have any issues, as long as your dry and cure is dialed in you will preserve the terpenes quite well. I always suggest a wine fridge for drying now, and storage too ( it can mean you need a few haha)
