need help please on auto flowering plants

hello all
well ive had a nightmare start to the auto flowering seeds i had germinated the seeds as you would a normal seed but to no avail, i put them in water in dark for 24 hours the shoots appeared so i potted up into soil ,4 days later nothing so i decided to read up a little about them only to find a sight telling me never to pre germinate autos , so this leads me to my next question what the best way to start them off is a case of popping them in soil and watering or is there some trick to them please help me as i have only 4 seed left and dont want to ruin these as it looks like i have the others
