This is what i gathered so far from all the reading ive been doing here and elsewhere

4 seeds, two normal and two autoflower fem is this what i should do

Place all 4 straight into jiffy pellets and cover with water and lid and place under light

after a few days take the jiffy pellets and put the whole lot into large potts filled to the rim with soil and add fertilizer and water ?

I have read about people having trouble germing in jiffy pellets. I soak the seeds and put 1/4 into the soil, never had a problem. Maybe try rapid rooters as an alternative. And do not feed nutrients until 2 1/2 weeks if in soil. Add some perlite to the soil...

Why not just the seeds straight into the pots? It's not like you're germinating 50 and as such space is an issue. Makes no sense to add a worthless step in the middle.

And do not add fertilizers.

Rooting gel is for when taking clones. You have no need for it.

Yup, just use water. You tart adding nutes when it needs it really. some soils might mean that's after 2 weeks, others might have 6 weeks of slow release fertilizer in it. It all depends, and a lot of it is just a question of observation and researching how to identify when a plant is starting to want food/more food.

I just skip all the ritual, and plant the seed straight into the soil. Then water it in a litltle. Done! Then place light over sprout.
