Haven't grown any Auto's yet myself but doing a lot of reading bout them lately. From what I've been gathering 12/12 is not a good cycle for them (can't remember exactly why atm). Best bet is to grow them under 18/6 or maybe 20/4.
here's a link from here that is full of info bout auto's

Wrong Big Steve. They wont slow down they just wont yield nearly as much.

ditto. You can definitely grow them under 12/12. I've collected anywhere between 10-grams to 40 grams off autoflower breeds after vegging them in 18/6 and moving them to 12/12 after they show.
Keep in mind lowriders aren't a big yield. If you want a lot, you're going to have to plant a lot.

I've finished alot of autos on 12/12 with no adverse affect. They like a dark period, they break down sugars durring the night time. Just like regular canna. You really will have healthier plants with some kind of dark period.
I don't very often reccomend a 24/0 light period for autos. Not all the way through anyways.
