So then they come out of the sweat chamber as soon as germinated? It's just like a giant humidity dome, to keep the humidity up while the seeds are sprouting?

Where do they go after that, they won't be ready for potting up yet?

Rainbow,
They stay in the greenhouse for several more weeks. The pots on the lower right are the little tomatoes. There is a waterbed heating pad underneath them. This system is all new to me. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. :D

I like it, do you have an auto watering mister system at all, or is everything by hand right now?

I've taken over the OP topic again. :(

forceten,
Take a look at this post. Everything is water by hand except, my bottom watering shelf.

It looks great... you are operating on a scale well beyond me. For someone who lives 4 miles from downtown and has a 1/3 acre property much of which is hillside, I start pretty many plants from seed, but you are on a commercial scale. I wouldn't have any idea about suggestions, but it doesn't look like you need any.

We give all the excess to the local soup kitchens. they love the fresh produce and it helps feed the homeless....

We use to give all the extras to all the neighbors, but I rather like giving to the homeless shelters that have kitchens. Thats why we increased our gardens this year, mostly for them, but mostly cause I like growing!

What ya do with all your growings eric? Since it seems like you produce way too much just for yourself?
