Is it possible to have an indoor Perpetual no Till?

Dear GentleFolks,
I would love to convert my tiny grow that was gonna be a ROLS into a perpetual no till.
I have two 2'x2' tents. One for vegging & one for flowering (4plants at a time). Do you think I can have a tent with small vegging plants in say 3 gallons pots and send them to the flowering tent in a 25 gallon smartpot?
I am afraid that the girls would struggle after being transplanted into a much larger pot and put to flowering at the same time.
Anyone experienced anything like this? any advice?
I LOVE the no-till concept and really want the fungal population to be kept as undisturbed as possible. So ROLS is not up to my desired standards.

HighStandardly yours,
M

That's almost exactly what I did actually.

I vegged in 2g pots in my tent, then moved them into my flowering room in the final pots and let them veg for another 2 weeks before flipping to 12/12.

You definitely don't want to flower immediately after transplanting into the larger pots though, otherwise the plants won't be able to take advantage of the extra space. If you plan on flowering immediately after moving the girls, you should veg in 5-7g pots then flower them out in those.

Personally, if it were me I would do single pot no-tills in both tents. A 25g pot is 21in in diameter which should fit in your 2x2 tent, throw one 25g pot in each tent. Then place 4 clones in the 25g tent and veg them for however long it takes to fill a screen, then trigger flower. For your set up, this is definitely the most efficient way of doing things. If you have the right soil mix in those 25g no-tills then it shouldn't take long to fill screens out with that set up, especially since you're running 4 plants per tent. Sounds crazy putting multiple plants in a single container but there are a few no-till guys doing this exact thing in raised beds indoors. With no-till, having a 25g mass of microbiology >>>> having 4 5-7g masses of microbiology. That BS about the roots tangling with each other is just a myth, there are people getting some serious yields with multiple plants in raised no-till beds indoors.

HTH and happy growing.
