New grower - how does this look?

It is a plant. Anything you would do to start a vegetable seed you can do for weed seeds. Is this your first plant ever grown from seed? If so, you can always buy a pack of lettuce seeds and practice with those first. Environment control and basic watering will be the same for weed.

It is however if I’m being honest with myself I think I would lose enthusiasm quite quickly towards anything other than the weed seeds. I suppose I accept I am going to make mistakes and that at £13 a seed they will be costly ones :o but that’s ok.
 
Yeah the advice about transplanting up as your plant grows is not the way for Autos. You're supposed to start in the container you want to finish in. I would suggest the three or five gallon pot. Like stated above. I've never grown Autos but lots of people on here do

That’s the way I went it’s a 12 ltr cloth pot so just over 2 gallon.
 
I suppose the question I should be asking is. How much water should I typically use to soak the initial soil in a 12 ltr cloth pot before planting seed?

There is no set volume really. Each bag of soil could be a different moisture content making that set volume too little or too much.

Add a small amount at a time, mixing with your hands in a separate bucket. Take a handful and try to make a ball by squeezing the clump. If water drips out of your hand, it's too wet. If you open your hand and it easily crumbles apart, it is too dry. You want a ball of soil to hold shape on its own.
 
I’m gonna start a fresh thread with more detail on what I’ve done and ask again what I should be doing. Thanks for all of your help so far hopefully learn from my mistakes
