@Kviatech, I have not used a cover crop indoors on any of my plants. clover is an option but makes it hard to top dress my pots with dry amendments. if you are thinking of clover then get a small dwarf variety and trim it down on top of that. When you tilled the clover plants "not seeds" into the soil it releases nitrogen it fixed from the air.

@m0use, which plants have you successfully used as cover crop in indoor in same pots? Clover is probably one of them?

I have grown a lot of autos this year with Companion plants and can say they don't like to have their root space invaded they dwarf the plants heavily. But growing them in a container next to them it was much better. Can confirm that marigolds did not do much to deter aphids and mint is crazy aggressive in the root zone so not ideal in the same pot. there is something to be said about a broad range of flowers in the area to attract predators that will eat pests. I love dill and cilantro for this very reason, only effective outdoors though.

I use the peat pucks, they are close to what you're using. They expand when put in water. I have had great luck with them. With what you have, I would wet and carefully Crack open the bottom, but it's not necessary. Yes it will grow through. Either way plant fast so it starts to soften for the roots to grow through. What people don't like about the ones you are using. They can bring mold. Next time try the peat pucks.

@Pjm70, ah cheers. I used them before, but didn't have good luck with them. 2/3 had mold. They may have been bad, though. I did pour boiling water on them as per someone's recommendation to kill any remaining spores or insects. It didn't help. I may give them another shot again, though. Planting the coir pots sooner makes sense. Thanks for this suggestion!

@GrowingGrannie, ah too bad I learned about this after planting them. I'm gonna wait until she's a bit bigger and will let the medium dry out before transplanting her. Thank you for your advice! I was told do germinate her in a lighter medium before moving her into a more fertile soil later. Question: would pots made out of coir work? To germinate and grow out a seedling in and later by planting in directly in the final container? I have another seedling growing in one of those and the roots seem to penetrate that pot easily. Thanks for your advice!

@Fast_Buds, Can't wait to see how it turns out either!

@homerjgangia, thanks! It's my first grow ever, other than a few unknown genetics off of the internet which are vegging right now. It's a first proper seed grow.

Good luck with your grow! Just a word of caution here, though... autoflowers hate to be transplanted and so the general rule of thumb is to plant them in the pot they're going to finish in! But since they're going to NEED to be transplanted, I urge you to be very careful with them and try not to disturb their root system much if at all... Good luck and enjoy the journey!
