Anybody doing autos outdoors right now? PNW?

Hey guys, I have limited experience with autos but am VERY curious.

I'm in butte county, and for the most part the weather has been REALLY nice. 2500ft elevation, Warm, bright sunny days, nights not too cold (but necessary to have a greenhouse still). Im considering setting up a 10x20 or 10x40 greenhouse with 2 LARGE soil beds, plugging them in with 50-99 autos , and letting em do their thing.

However, do to my limited experience, I'm not sure how well autos would perform under intense winter sunlight (8-10 hours a day). I understand how important strain selection is, so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Also, would it be necessary to supplement the greenhouses with HID lighting if I were to say, get a whole week that ended up being cloudy?

Time to shift you mind, and see once autos are germed they are on a very tight clock, and yes give them more light they will bloom, the more red the better, I'm currently doing my 2nd grow of short stuff autos #1 right now, I see autos as an in between crop after 45+ years of photos, see norden seeds http://www.nordenseeds.com/en/ ...for that viking cold tolerant strain
