Capacity

Last year I had about 100 plants.  This year it's going to be about 130, but I'll give away 20-30 of them (including some F3s).   This number reflects the sum of the "wells" sown initially, although some of those had 2 sprouts (or even 3 or 4.)  I am splitting a few of those carefully into separate pots; some will stay together.

I have 3 shelves of lights.  Each can hold two 5x3 tubs of 4 inch square pots, plus, one 10x20 tray that can hold another 10 or so pots. = ~40 pots per shelf x 3 =120.
These will be staggered a little.  HC, SG and UO are smallish plants and can go longer before transplanting, so I could sow a 2nd round of heirlooms in that tray.  Like I need more plants!

Some of the F3s have 2 or more sprouts per well.  These I will keep together because here I want the maximum possible number of F3 individuals to be cultivated.
