So to avoid trans plant shock in auto flower seed and avoid using 5 gallon pot to germinate would these work if I Buried them as soon as I knew the seed was germinated and viable?

All I grow are autos, and this has realy been the easiest for me honestly. I have never had any problems at all dropping them right into my 3 gallon pots. I will usually let them stay in the peet pots for a ciuple weeks before putting them into their final beds. I also never use over a 3 gallon for my plants, but this next round I am going to run 1 gallons just for the fact I really don't see much difference with other people using them. Good Luck and sending the vibes of great greenness your way.

I will say, in the year plus frequenting this questions page.. I’ve seen more issues with jiffy starters than any other starting method.

Sure, jiffy and this one on picture stress the plant. I would plant direct to the soil and water by the sides, so roots will spread the right way. Care not to over water, that's the biggest problem possible.

I'm not a fan of jiffy products I find they mold a lot of time. If the root mass is already getting bound before your transplant or it hasn't had a chance to decomposes, it could get stunted. I would recommend a max size of 3gal for autos to start off with. and just plant directly in it after successful germination. Good Luck!

These aren't my favorite product for starting seeds. The bottoms which remain moist do disintegrate easily, but the lip of the pot that stays drier remains very sturdy. The problem comes when you plant the pot, if the lip remains exposed it will wick water away from the bottom, and the pot stays intact too long. The solution is to either make sure the lip is buried and not exposed to air, which may mean you pot your seedlings too deep when you transplant, or, rip off the leathery lip when you go to transplant, which means you might be giving rough handling to your seedling. Because I generally choose to rip the lip off, I feel like I can be gentler with a plastic pot. If you were looking for an option like this, I think a soil blocker tool is preferable. It's a little contraption that squeezes seed starting media into a block with no wrapper. The blocks hold up well enough for planting.

You will need to cut off the bottom.
