How to grow auto flowering cannabis plants outdoors?

I'm new to growing and was interesting in buying auto flowering seeds. I heard that they don't like re-planting. Any good tips/ things i should know about auto flowering?

I am half way through my first auto flower grow tho its inside tho should be very little difference for outdoors
start in at least 3 galleon pot or 15 litres pot germ in paper towl then when shoots about 1 cm plant about 1 cm deep
Buy soil with tiny amount of nuts in it
I use premium seedling mix
I add 50% perlite 50% seedling mix
Water them fck all for first week no added nutrients this will help root development
When 3 to 4 nodes feed about 1/8 strength nuts
As they get bigger increase nut slowly when flower period begins norm 3 weeks start to use flower nuts
Trim nothing off the plant do not top or any hardcore training method little bit of lst is all u can do
Idea is to veg as big as possible before it starts to flower here is my 1 of my plants its 6 weeks old 3 weeks into flower took her outa grow room to remove some dead and dieing leaves as I had a mat on bottom of pot was getting gnats annoying bug

Thank you sooo much! This is so useful i could not ask for more

I totally agree with your method. I did the same thing. Here is a pic took this morning of my two girls. Almost 8 weeks.

8 weeks into flower?
Very nice iam testing a few methods I even have trimmed the fckn outa 1 auto to see what happens I got 1 where I tryed to stop a main cola using lst and have good success with that it nowhere near as bushy as the beast girl as I call it bud the bud formation the colas about 60cm and theres thick hard dense bud the entire length of the stem will about 45cm worth of nodes it will become like 10 mass colas its the best lookin outa my 5 autos bud wise but it started budding about 5 days before the bushy one
Can u see what I mean
Sorry bout the hps pic
Also I reakon digal ballast kicks the shit for growth over my old magnetic box tho did bit research and dig will flicker 28000 a second and mags on flicker 50 times a second why no lines on a digital pic

Very nice man, plus some good info. Here's an auto I tied the top back just a little so I could keep the light closer to my regular girls. I liked the results. I plan on chopping her next week at about 70 days from seed.

Look real nice. Mine are 8 week from seed. I figure 4 more weeks of budding. All I have is T8's and a 90W LeD. I was afraid to top. Everyone said big time no.

Do you think leaving them in a 3 gallon fabric pot is good? or should i keep them in a 7-10 gallon fabric pot from seed. i don't want to re-plant

3 Gal is more than enough as most autos wont go higher than 3 ft. My first successful grow was an auto super hash in a 3 gal pot, grown indoors and I got a 4 month supply. Not sure how much it weighed but I smoke daily. If you want to do autos do a super auto.

nice, i was considering which strains to buy. i think super hash will be one of them. Also can you give me some good super auto strains from attitude seed bank, i don't know any good ones. i'm looking for good yields and easy to grow. It doesn't matter if it's indica or sativa

never tried attitude. I use the single seed centre, and any super auto will be good and easy to grow. The shorter the grow time the easyer it will be. Time is not your friend when first starting out.

Just a note for an outdoor grow. They need direct full sun. I just planted a few outside and they didnt get the full sun, they are not doing well at all. I did move one to a better location so hopefully it'll do better.
