Takeoff speed in guided/auto

Hi,
I had a situation today where I tried auto-takeoff and the drone took off too slow and got caught by the wind. When flying in wind using the RC transmitter I “bump” the throttle to get the quad clear of the ground as quickly as possible. How can I do this in auto mode? Is it the WPNAV_SPEED_UP which controls the vertical velocity at takeoff? I’d simply like the quad to rev up the motors at bit more aggressively to clear ground.
