Direct Seeding Outdoors

I have 5 babies i'm about to put outside (10 more coming) non-feminized semi-mysterious autoflowering strain

Whats the best way to go about insuring a healthy start outside?

i've heard autoflower geneticists recommend just putting the seed in the soil!

i was considering germinating in solo cups, then putting those out immediately in small holes filled with a good topsoil mix (organic) and hit them with some basic organic ferts maybe once a month (2-3 times total in their lifecycle)

OR maybe just putting the seed into prepared plots of topsoil with some rooting hormone applied directly to the seed.

any input? thanks

Hey there.

I don't have much experience with growing direct outdoors, but I think the best solution would be dig a small hole in the ground, give your own soil mix there so the seedlings will not have a hard time sprouting from the ground and estabilishing a root system (that could happen if the ground soil would be inadequate).

The only things seeds need to sprout are - darkness, humidity, and a good "base" they are starting to grow on. However the seedlings are very fragile so it really depends on the location you are putting them at.

Good idea, keep it simple with just a big scoop you can remove quite a bit of soil and then 2 handfuls of a good mix to give them an advantage, then water often, afterwards they will acclimate quickly and spread roots immediately to the surrounding soil.
