Hello, first time grow. Was wondering if germinating my auto directly in my soil is better then putting it in a solo cup?

Either works, both show success it's a pick your poison scenario as Iainishere said there are some great YouTube videos on the topic. Hope this helps!

The soil I got seems to have come with friends. How do I get rid of little black flies in my soil? Should I deploy sticky traps? Will that be enough?

Other. Bugs

Those are called "fungus gnats" there are many things you can do to deal with these, personally I use diatomaceous earth by Gaia Greens. Spread a bit on top of the medium when the top layer is almost dry, the stuff is great for fighting the above and is a good source of silica. Two birds stoned at once. Use this along side the stickers and you will notice the population decrease until they are no longer a problem, another practice is conditioning the soil (a solution you water your medium with to kill any pathogens or bugs before you use it) hope this helps!
