Starting autos in 5 gallon pots ?

Hey guys , so I tried growing some autoflowers this year outdoor and they failed. I had trouble watering massive pots . And found it worked better to transplant the plants from smaller to bigger ones . Im going to try growing indoor now, and want to know , should I start the autos in their original 5 gallon big pot ? I'm afraid I'll have trouble again . Any tips ? Thanks

Smaller containers are better for starting and growing small plants.

Much easier to water correctly

For autos, use a solo cup to start, then at 4-5 nodes transplant into the 5 gal. It’ll be fine!
Edit: when you water in the 5 gallon, water mostly on the outside edges, you want to force the roots to find the water and fill out the pot
