    The soil temp is 65 today the same as the room temp the plants are in and the 1413 is the biggest so it gets the spot this is the earliest I have ever started so this could turn out well or maybe not

    I got this idea from Ryan Hoelke I would highly recommend these for 2 reasons 1st it helps big time with compaction and 2nd it will teach you patients when you do a face plant or 2 like I did you learn to take your time

    The 1413 is down and running but I think it will be high maintenance like the mother plant the leaves flag easily in the sun
