I don't think auto's are a good thing for small grows because of the pure size they get !! I stopped doing autos because of this they don't like pruning they don't like topping and they never seem to stop growing from the off even the very small strains !! I only do 12/12 photo period strains now
I am the light of this forum and I am its mean twisted soul.
Autos are perfect for small grows. Just like photoperiod strains, some get taller than others, read the info from the breeder and check out a few diaries.
The ones I have grown have all taken to LST just fine keeping the profile very low.
Its well known they don't like pruning or topping, they don't have enough time to recover from it, a bit of reading would have told you that charleyfarley.

I love this site!!!! Even thought this post is from like 2012 it's still useful. I am doing my first grow and decided to go with an auto due to ease of grow and limited space in my tent. It's questions like this which make it easier for a noob like me to grow a quality plant. I can grow a tomato that'll feed a family of four. I'm hoping to do the same with this.
This is a really old post I know, but Google keeps leading me back to it so thought I'd regurgitate some info I came across which will serve new auto growers well.
Obviously it's rough... plants have a life of their own of course, but it eased my worrying a bit as I was running out of height so hopefully it'll do the same for someone else.
DAY 1 - First real leaves emerge
DAY 6-7 - Plant has 3 nodes with smaller branches beginning to emerge
DAY 10-12 - 5 nodes*
Day 17-21 - 8 to 10 nodes, plant sex is shown. Very fast growth by this stage.
Day 25-30 - Plant begins flowering and starts to stretch. Bud sites popping up.
Day 35-45 - Growth slows, gets a bit boring, buds slowly develop more and more each day.
Day 50+ - Buds begin to fatten, heavy trichome production and smell. This is the exciting part.
Day 65-75 - Harvest.
