Can I plant an auto seed directly into a raised bed?

Dmeshstarted grow question 3y ago

If you only had two options with a sativa autoflower seed you germinated: 1. Grow it indoors in a cup or other small container for a week or two, then plant it directly in a raised bed outdoors? OR 2. Plant the germinated seed directly in the ground outside and keep it safe?

For better outcome as far as yield I’d probably go straight outdoor.. But for a better shot at success as far as it staying alive I’d do the cup to outdoor

When should the plants be put outside? at the optimal temps, they only will get about 6 hours of proper sunlight.Is it a good practice to put my plants outside when its around 8:00 am and keep them outside for 12 hour (10 degrees celcius) or will this damage the plants because it is too cold of a temperature? I do not have enough time to properly put them outside when they should be outside
