Starting autos in a flowering tent?

Can I put my 1 day old auto seedlings in a 12/12 tent to get started before hitting the greenhouse, or will the light cycle fuck them up? 
 

Theyd be shaded by the scrog canopy of the flowering plants so no direct light and they’d be at around 20-22 degrees.

They'll be fine but may get a bit tall and lanky. Be prepared to prop them up.  20-22 is also a wee bit chilly for young seedlings.

If they are actually one day old I'd be careful. I guess it depends on what lamp you are using. I recently put some young seedlings under a 125W CFL lamp and it did not go well. The next seedlings I kept by an oil filled radiator and opened the blinds every morning for a week. Once they were established they went under the CFL.

 

With regards to the effect of the light cycle I'm really not sure. Autos are not my thing really.

24 hours is what I do never had a problem but dial the power back to 25% and make sure the light is 4 ish foot away depending on light source.peace Goohfy.
