Growing Autos outside

Just starting some seeds indoors for my first attempt with autos as well. I figured I will keep them under lighting until mid to late June, and harvest maybe the end of August, first part of September. Currently in 1G plastic pots as a seedling, which I will transplant into already dug holes with soil that is cooking now, be ready by the time the girls are headed out doors. I have so many seeds I need to try and get some of my lesser genetics used this way.
 
Anyone have good success growing autos outdoors. Always grown indoors, moved to a different state.
I'm trying some RQS diesel auto and a special queen auto this season. One of the diesel plants is starting to flower at 5" tall. the other two are growing slower with no signs of any flower. The special queen is doing great! Huge leaves and very bushy about 14 inches tall.
I also have regular period RQS growing. My Watermelon is literally growing 1 to 2 inches a day but it's already got flowers forming....WTF?
All of these are outside in very enriched garden soil mixed with chicken(1 year old)poop, miraclegrow soil, Pete soil and some local sandy dirt all mixed together. Auto watering.
The first pic is of the normal photo Watermelon and the second is the auto diesel.
9 weeks and 5 weeks respectively.

Replying back to growing auto seeds Gorilla Glue outdoor in the ground.
Here the soil is worthless so I filled a few large holes with Happy Frog.
In the veg state they are up but not as bushy as was indoors. I have topped them and I am using Happy Frog starter Fertilizer to supplement.
Any advice to beef them up, thanks very much

My post stated indoors, but these autos are definitely outdoors! My bad as most of my grows have been indoors. Here's a shot of them: from left to right: Zamnesia WURLZ F1-A, Zamnesia Slurricane, WURLZ F1-B & Zamnesia Slurricane, 2 of each, 3 look similar and the one WURLZ F1-A i getting huge. It's sibling F1-B looks more like another Slurricane.
