out door questions

I am new to autoflower. And i don't know much about them. I've heard that they don't take too well to transplanting. So from my understanding it would be hard to start indoors and then bring it outdoors(in the ground I can't get to it everyday) so should I just start them outdoors and hope they make it or start in a small container and bring them out when they get started. I don't want to be lugging big containers around that would look suspicious. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks

They will start indoors just fine. I have done them start to finish with 1 gal pots. It probably depends on which strain. I would definitely germinate indoors. If it were me I would start in solo cups and when you see roots in the bottom they are ready to transplant. I use mg organic seed starting soil and it has worked out great for me. Good luck!
