15 gallon no-till beds: Starting autoflowers in no-till beds

NFSOT educational purposes only! My newest project! Running #morningstarseedcompany #purplemicrodot regular autoflower genetics. I have two 80w King LEDs over each 15gal no-till bed for now. I'll move the 315 in place between them when the two Mephisto autos behind them are done and flowers begin on the newbies. I have struggled between having soil that's way too hot for starting seedlings and the need to start autoflower beans in their final home. That runty pom pom in the second bed is what happens when you try and transplant. I started that #fastbuds #tangiematic seed in an 8oz solo, then transplanted to a 16oz solo.then to this container. Not so good. I must be doing it wrong! So I'm just going to try a cold plug of plain coco and let the seed do its thing but not let the tap root bottom out in the cup. The hope is that the seedling will get enough root system and foilage built up before it reaches the hot soil beneath. I like to contain the cold plug in a solo with the bottom cut out so I don't dilute the no-till blend by constantly adding plugs of coco in the soil. Keeping it contained in the solos will allow me to easilly remove them after each grow. I've done this in my 25gal no-till beds and it works great.... But those are with established clones, not delicate autoflower Seedlings! I am not very optimistic since the taproot will likely reach the hot soil even before the first true leaves come out. We'll see... If this doesn't work, I'll likely give up on autoflowers in no-till and switch back to autos in pure coco and either feed hydroponically, or maybe with dry amendments. In any case, starting autoflowers in hot no-till soil is very tricky to say the least! Showing off the float germination method again... I'll never use a paper towel again! And I'll never plant a seed directly to the soil and wait in vain for to weeks to never see it sprout! I'll see if each seed is viable as they float! #dudegrowsshow #dgccrew #dudegrows #growerslove #growerlab #growerscrognets #autohempy #livingorganicsoil #notill  #buildasoil  #subirrigatedplanter #autohempy
