24/7 lighting to be tested

I don't know how, but about 388 of my Celebrity tomato plants have disappeared. OK, I had a few from a couple of trays left over, but best guesstimates put the MIA total at 324. Not that things disappearing around here is a rarity - it tends to happen all the time. But they usually show back up!

Not taking any chances as I don't have and Celebs to transplant in my garden, unless I don't sell them all. This evening, I sowed about 150 seeds. The soil and water are both warm ~ 75 degrees, so it should not take but a few days to germinate. Once they do, under a light they go - a 400-watt MH running constantly. when transplanted, they will go into a potting mix with a decent amount of Blood Meal and Tomato-Tone, and every other watering will be with a solution of TT.

The goal is to have at least 6" plants, with four sets of leaves, by Memorial Day.

Progress reports will be provided!
