actually an auto has only a few differences to consider
with auto's you start in the final pot (they don't like to be transplanted)....it looks like you have done this.....they will be slow at first but will soon shift into high gear.
If growing indoors, keep your lights on for at least 18/6 per day....I prefer 20/4...other folks prefer 22/2 or 24/0
.....do not switch to 12/12, as they will flower when ready....typically in 4 weeks
SInce you are growing outdoors, no worries about light schedule...when they are young, you can bring them indoors at night and put under a few CFL's to help them kick into gear (not required but will help)
you cannot clone auto's (you actually can but they will do very poorly), other than that, they can be treated the same as a photo
personally...with auto's, I do not prune/defoliate, LST, top, FIM, SOG and so on......but not saying you can't, I just keep auto's simple
cheers...good luck
