Hello people.
Speaking of seedlings. I recently decided that it was time to get rid of
my home made seedling starter equipment. The dimensions are 8 feet tall by 8
feet long by 4 feet wide. Basically it is a four level thing that holds the
plastic grow cups on those drip pans that are used in AC units. The grow
cups are filled with nothing but perlite. Each level is periodically flooded
with a pump and timer. Since I am a hydroponic guy, I use a tiny amount of
Peter's plant food in water supply which is held at the base of the
structure. Each layer has two eight feet fluorescent lights that can be
kept on 24 hours a day if you like. Originally I used to start about 2000
Boston Bibb lettuce seedlings at one time. Now that I grow nothing but
peppers, I don't really need it because my peppers never die. I am sure
there is someone out there who could use this thing more than me.
Sincerely, Pete Hydrohot
