>> I think that somewhere between 3-4 weeks they will have a fair amount of root structure developed to transplant

Wow, that's pretty good. I also like to have a good root ball before I pop them out of the cells. As long as I don't wait TOO long, I think that's less damaging to roots than having the root ball fall apart and disintegrate when my clumsy fingers try to get it out of the cell and into the ground.

Yes! Me too! I'm picturing 288 or 300 4" pots all trying to fit into less than 2 square feet like the 1020-size tray they came form. More like 32 square feet - a 4' x 8' hoop tunnel or cold frame?
