Hey pretty new to autoflowers, currently have 10 in a 2.5 x5 foot room... I feel like I don't water enough, I'm 8 days from sprout and every 36 hrs or so I come back and my soil is dry first three or so inches will be like dust, am I not watering enough? I only give maybe 4 fl oz of water when I do water

You have 10 seedlings, each in a five gallon pot, in a 2.5'x5' room and you're giving 4 oz. water to each, every 36 hrs. Is this correct? Also, I forget the member who always says, "if there's no pictures, it didn't happen."

you need to at least be giving a couple of litres just to wet and activate all the soil but 5 gallons when the plants are bigger with more roots and drinking more I'd be giving 3 litre but depends on how hot temps ate etc

give em two litres when they need watering next this will wet most of the soil so bacteria can grow then I'd water half a litre round the base of the plant when next need water gradually increasing to 3 litre when they and roots are bug enough usually when a foot tall
