I have 4 auto flower seeds. I was wanting to know what is the best way to start them. I bought these so I don't wanna waste them. So start them in a solo cup with soil. Start them in a jiffy pellet. Or just straight into the final pot?

I run all autos but never done coco, all mine are dwc or soil. In soil I soak in a glass of distilled or RO water in a warm dark place til taproot pops generally 1-2 days then straight to final pot taproot down 1/4 to 1/2 deep in soil. Dwc hydro I do the same except into rockwool after taproot pops. I get a 90% germination rate this way.

I started using the rw cubes for my autos just because in my mind it's like starting them in A very small pot, but then they sort of auto pot up when the roots break through the rw, not very scientific I know, but I haven't had one fail to sprout on me yet this way and it uses these damned things up, bought a ton of em. But back to the point, looks like you've got a good concensus group here,germ them any way you want and then straight to the final pot( unless you want to start them in a small pot) then do that

I've used the new Jiffys/R-Rooters and prefer to cut the bottom

to ease root dispensation later in germ

the new rooters seem to be made of thicker webbing

check your bent tap root post harvest to confirm this

good luck

its best to soak then straight to the 3 usgallon pot

Definatly giving that one a try, more solid than my "I feel like it makes em auto pot up" theory lol
