Transistioning seedlings to the GH - Page 5

Thank you.
I am hoping that by mid to late spring I will have a dutch bucket hydro system in place for tomatoes and peppers. Starting a kratky bed next weekend or so for lettuce. I am starting the seeds this weekend, and hoping to be able to transplant them into the net pots next weekend.

FourOaks, i wanted to give an update on bags and soil.

I filled a lot of 5 gallon bags this weekend, and now have a firm number of bags from 1 bale of 3.8 cuft Promix HP.

I can get 6 bags filled AND wet from one bale. I have a little left over to start the 7th bag, but it is not more than a quarter of a bag.

These are bags completely watered and settled, and end up with soil 1" from the top of the bag.

Sounds right to me, I get almost 8 on the fabric pots and 7 on the plastics, but I cuff the plastics and the fabrics are not a true five gallons.
