My tomatoes and peppers germed too fast! I ran out of room in my tent before the other was ready.

In the picture there’s a good assortment of 6-8 week starts. In no particular order there is; marigolds, nasturtiums, onions, broom corn (6” pots), zinnias, 8 or so tomato and pepper variety’s. Some of the tomatoes and peppers are mixed between the domes and the cups.
The other tent will be available this weekend, still have a window of starts. Still can’t work the soil, but this weekend I should be able to start spring cleaning if it doesn’t snow again.
LFG growmies!
The little peat pots trays might make your grow tent able to germ much much more, plus they’re biodegradable so win win.
I started 160 individual (80x sunflower, 30x snapdragon, 10x black eye Susan, 40 peppers ) plants in a 3x4 tent with the jiffy peat trays
I know you started in rockwool, but you can germ directly in the peat pot then transfer that to soil.
I’ve got those for the 2 and 4 week starts. The 6 and 8 week starts will get root bound as they’re too small without still mid potting up.
Works for seedlings, but not the tomatoes and peppers that need to be established.
Great advice otherwise. I’ll also have a greenhouse and or cold frame next year as well. This is just a stopgap.
I do the actual germing on window table with heat mats as well, these are all seedling at this point. I don’t have the room to pot up the other domes yet -.- they would get too leggy in the window.
