Moroccan were grown in the high mountains with no additional water / ferts, the ‘semi-auto’ feature kicked in when dryness / drought conditions appeared to ensure continuation of plants.
For pure equatorials expecting 13-11 to 11-13 hours of light ; their ‘auto’ flowering was more based on the maturity of the plant, rather than light schedule. I would not expect fast finishers, my PNG’s went 23 weeks IIRC…
