Week 1 Update:
Just hung up a layer of panda film along the walls, moved all the buckets in, and turned the lights on. I'm going to leave the seedlings in the cups until they get larger then i'll transfer them to the buckets. I'll also thin them to 1 plant per bucket of course. Feels good to make some progress.
I also received my heat mat so germination should be much faster next time. The potting mix i used in the buckets is Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting mix, and the soil i used in the plastic cups for germination is fox Farm Happy Frog potting mix.
