I agree this is not transplanting but far to often new grower leave the jiffy in the starter tray until roots are growing out of the jiffy and at that point it’s a transplant

That is just sloppy practice. To achieve a perfect grow, of any plant, in artificial conditions you have to stay on your game. As soon as you take your eye of the ball, you'll drop it and always be playing catch up from that point forward.

Not always true this is a very forgiving plant... it’s not anywhere near as hard or complicated as new growers think it is to grow great plants

I wish this site had been around when I started growing, for me to ask all my newbie questions. Of course the internet wasn't really up to this kind of site back then. It's better for you to ask the questions than to just sit on them because you're embarrassed. I've been growing for a couple of decades now, off and on, and I still have questions. For example, I've been studying almost anything I can find on autoflowers for the last few years, because I've never grown one.
Now, some guys read things I've learned through trial and error and immediately flip right the fuck out, telling me I couldn't be more wrong and my plants will die a week ago when I actually did whatever it is they're complaining about. You do have to think critically about what you're told, but most of the people here would rather see you succeed than fail, even when you don't follow their advice. Even the trolls will sometimes drop a tidbit of valuable knowledge in amongst the shit.
I'm drunk, and stoned, so I should probably stop talking.
One quote which has stayed with me is "stop learning, start dying".

So as long as I put jiffy’s into soil right when it sprouts and don’t let any new roots poke through Iam good to use jiffy’s.

Moist not wet and certainly not saturated. Your Jiffy's are saturated. Let me repeat - roots have to transpire {breathe) they must have oxygen.
A saturated Jiffy weighs approx. 56 grams, keep below 42 grams. Gently squeeze 10-15 grams out of those Jiffy's, or sit them on paper towels to wick moisture out and don't let them sit in water. You're waterboarding the poor bastards.

You may have saved them Herb. Good work and quick as well pal. Don;t forget air circulation if possible. Don't add water until you get to 20-25 grams and keep below 42.

Best to

Put seed in moist paper towel
Put in bag
Put on paper plate
Cover paper plate with another plate
Leave baggie open
Set plate on top of fridge

Come back next day spray mist in there barely any

Come back next day tongue should be sticking out.

Plant ⅛ inch deep into moist soil

Give ⅛ cup of water daily for first 3 days.

Should sprout by 3rd day 72hr from planting

Also, ffof isn't that hot. Don't transplant autos unless you know what you're doing. Still best to avoid if possible.

I wouldn't mix HF & ffof just run straight ffof if possible

You're over complicating things

Tongue sticks out
Plant
Wait
Care for
Enjoy
