Thanks for all the tips here. I also want to tell you that I finally found a way to make space for all the mgs around here.. They needed to be potted up but I don't have too much room after 200+ tomato seedlings, chili seedlings, etc.. so I got the idea from the tomato forum to transplant in styrofoam cups.

I used the 20oz size for the Mgs and they can stay there until they go into the ground.. they are doing quite well too. I upped them from a 8oz cup, more fit on each shelf than the 3 gallon pots. And, they hold about a quart of soil, so that is a good amount. (plus, here is the good part.. a box of 500 20oz cups is 26.00 at Sams) and if they have any in their damaged section, (like here) I got the box for 20.00 with only two cups missing.. what a bargain.

Now the tomatoes go into 6 oz cups for awhile.. these 20ozers are too big for them.
