My greenhouse is 8X16 and is nothing but heat mats, once the plants sprout, I move them to a grow house. I maintain temps in the greenhouse at about 80 degrees average, I can sprout tomatoes in five days, squash in four. My grow house is size dependent based on what space I need, it is put up and taken down each year.

We can do that via our beach house on Lake of the Ozarks. This building is into its 3rd year as our seed starter place.
Big SW windows, thermal floor and a good working plan that we’ve tested in past years.

BTW;
We’re still piking Roma tomatoes and Poblano peppers. The little guys—cherry tomatoes, are done.

Good show ! You have a good system
I worked in a commercial greenhouse that had a sprout house of 25 X 60
and has 4 1/2 acres under glass (or more accurately , plastic sheeting)and six separate units as a grow houses. Good on ya ! (as the Aussies say)
