I think you need to get the timing right to have a real chance outside. Auto's can handle continuous sun so I'd time the 10-12 week lifespan of the plant to coincide with your longest days of the year. Have the summer solstice (June 21) occur about six weeks into your grow so maybe plant in early may. And make sure the plant gets full sun, try not to have anything shading it. Depending on your weather you may need to tent or put a hot house over the plant early in the season to protect it from cold nights. Cool nights won't kill the plant but it will really slow it's growth. If you can keep the soil temperature above 15c and closer to 20c the growth rate should pick up with good light.

Light and heat are your biggest concerns. IF those are ok, weather good LOTS of sunshine, cool not cold nights (nothing below 10C for long) then you got a shot. You may need to spend a period of time hardening them off to move. Some good vids on youtube on it
