If your watering technique is not all it should be, I'd start in a solo. I know how to water, but my transplanting technique sucks,
so I transfer my Jiffy germinated autos to final pot day after sprout. Grower preference is what it comes down to.

Transplanting Autos - Redux
Seedling stage is when a lot of new growers seem to have difficulty. Just posting this here to show how simple caring for seedlings and transplanting them really is. I start off in a solo cup with a mild soil like FF Light Warrior, or Biobiz Lite Mix. These sit under a 40 watt cfl for 7...

Well I'm by No means an experienced autoflower grower. But I do have a few handfuls of photo periods under me belt. This is the first and current autoflower I'm running I dropped the seed in its 1st n final 3.5 gallons of a good soil mix. And it took 4 days to break the surface, but then this happened.
I really didn't want to mess around with a transplant, as I hear if ya mess it up or for some reason it's not a smooth transplant then the stress might mess with final yeilds. But like I said. I'm New to autoflower myself.

I have started all my plants using the paper towel method. After sprouting they go into jiffy pots till I see true leaves. Then into final container.

Nothing wrong with solo cups if you can do a smooth transplant. I find it easy to do in soil but I tend to fumble it up in coco. Just keep in mind you want to transplant auto's early. They have a fast seeking tap root that you don't want to have bottom out in the solo cup. I find once this happens it limits the over all size of the auto. So try to have it in it's final pot before day 12.
I think I will just end up doing this, I havent messed up a transplant in years tbf and the last 3 I xplanted fine.

I transplant all my plants from starter pots to 3 gallons. They all turn into monsters. My own experience.
