After 20 days, the roots already started to come through the bags. Small white dots. Then I repotted them to square 18 liter pots in potting soil from the local garden center. Not what I wanted, but my local growshop had moved. I never trust that ordinary potting soil so bad pests and there is no perlite through it. After repotting, most of the plants died, 3 pieces, they just didn't catch on in the 1st way or another. Didn't want to root any further. I think they still suffered from the repotting.
The following weeks I had some problems with aphids and snails.
What to do against snails?
His rotten beasts, I found out that they are under my pots during the day and then come out at night. 2 or 3 of those large slugs eat away almost an entire plant in 1 night. Looked under all the pots a few times and flattened all the snails. And this helped a lot. You can buy those grains, but I found that expensive and did not help nearly as well.
What to do against aphids?
I just got some stuff from the garden center to mix with water and treated the plants with a plant sprayer. Especially spray well under the leaves.
Of course, you would rather never do this type of treatment with 'poison' in the flowering phase, since that poison will then sit in your buds which you will smoke up again. This stuff from the garden center worked perfectly, after this I had little trouble with aphids.

Nice job. I had a similar experience trying to grow lots of autos…seems like more can go wrong with autos, more liable to be stunted by a cold overnight temperature, etc. Cheers.
@Northern_Ent, yes autoflowers are very stress sensitive. Even moving the plant to another spot in the garden during flowering felt like stress was my thoughts.
