Best way to plant landrace seeds directly into (outdoor) no-till pots?

I have to leave my city for a few months and my grow partner doesn't know much about growing (he provides the outdoor space, I do the gardening), so trying to think of the simplest method I can sprout some seeds and plant them in the 5 days I have left here (I'll be back late June though, for a week).

I'll attach some pics of my current setup below.

I was thinking the best strategy would be:

1. Putting a 1 inch layer of earth worm castings first (I have my own high quality ones, I feed worms with kelp, crab meal, malted barley powder, oyster shell powder, and basalt, apart from organic food scraps.)

2. Rapid rooter with seed inside

3. and hay around the rapid rooter, to smother the cover crop fully.

Would that be a good plan?

(Hoping to plant Snowhigh landrace sativa seeds that can be hard to germinate).

(I would tell him to germinate them, etc, but he's pretty busy and wouldn't want to do paper towel method and solo cups, etc... I know the crop could probably fail, but wanted to give it a go anyway, the simplest way possible).

Some pics of my no-till pots (currently have a small autoflower in there I planted earlier in the spring, it didn't get enough sun though).

When are you leaving? The most critical thing would be getting the seeds started and growing. A larger plant can withstand neglect better than a small seedling so the bigger the plants the less chance of failure on your caretakers part.

If you haven't started then you better get busy doing it.

I'd just get some decent bagged soil and run with that. Keep it simple. A bottle of FloraNova Bloom and you're good to go. Have them feed every couple of waterings. The instructions are simple and foolproof.

Good luck

You have 5 days left...paper towel germinate them and plant them urself? Is that not a viable option?

As long as your friend can keep the soil moist and the temps in the right range, then planting directly into the soil is a perfectly viable option.
People overcomplicate the germination process for cannabis. I think that started in the '80s when indoor lighting technology improved and spread to the masses.
After that, a whole new generation of growers who learned how to grow indoors started treating cannabis like something that has to be grown in laboratory conditions. Pot seeds don't care if they are in a paper towel, a rapid rooter, or soil, they will germinate just the same. As long as the temps are right, the moisture levels are on point and your PH isn't out of wack it doesn't matter what medium you use to germinate, IMO.
I germinated 18 seeds this year, planted directly into the soil, just standard organic soil not seed starter mix or anything special, and got 100% germination.
That said, if your friend doesn't have a green thumb it can be difficult to keep the moisture levels right for seedlings of any kind outdoors if in full sun.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing.

Put some sort of plastic on top like half of a plastic bottle. Keep the surface moist and you re set

I'd start like 10 seeds in 1 gallon pots right now. They will take 5 days to sprout, and he will likely kill 9 within a month. Have him transfer the 1 survivor to the no-till pot when it's a foot tall.

The reality is newbies mess up watering. And he definitely will, especially in a giant container.

Or plant those 10 seeds in the no-till pot and see which survive. Ask him to cull if multiple survive.

Seeds wont like the Ewc,too muddy.As said put them in small pots with basic potting mix and a dome, small light.
Or dig out a half gallon spot in the no till replace with potting soil plant and hope.

Or just him or her to send you pics via whatsapp then you can instruct him/her what to do simple

Thanks guys, I put 6 acapulco gold seeds into 6 different coco seed starter pod things, all sprouted so far (surprised how well they worked), going to let em grow a few days and then transplant them into the bigger no-till pots (I got a extra week here so can let the seedlings grow a bit), hopefully a few will survive from there
