wow what a fabulous list!!! I just got out the grow light this last week so I could get the cats 'acclimated' to it's presence, as I still have not found anyone to move my GH down from Newberry - my room is super limited so I will have to be really choosy this year :( not sure I know how to do that LOL

I start mine in waves .. the first wave will be the oldest seeds and those that take the longest to germinate .. once they are up and have a set of true leaves I move them out to the greenhouse and start the next wave.

I'm doing something new this year as a reference for me .. I created seed starting cards which I think will be helpful in the future. Especially info on the time from germination to flowering.

What kind of greenhouse is it you are trying to move?

Nope wasn't there - from your description doesn't sound like it's going to be an easy thing to move all at once .. is it take apartable?

nope - but it came in on a rollback and I've had a few show interest (car towing/wrecker companys) but none come thru thus far :(
