Never ever, FIM, LST, HST, Top, or any sort of manipulation EVER with an auto.

Let the auto just grow naturally and feed it optimally or else yield will suffer beyond belief.

jimmy is pretty spot on with saying never...as a general rule of thumb.
However, I would just like to interject that sometimes, an advanced auto grower will pick an auto based on sativas that grow really tall, taller than the planned grow room. these are an ideal candidate to be fimmed.

if you want to play with an auto, you need to pick a strain bigger than your intended size as you WILL lose growth and yield by manipulation, so the benefits have to outweigh the costs.
