Default Jiffy starter greenhouse vs wet plate

I'm running an experiment to see how my wet plate method works vs a
commercial solution, specifically the Jiffy starter greenhouse which
consists of a 72 cell plastic tray with peat moss starter pellets and a
plastic top. I had extra Cosmonaut Volkov, Sun Gold Cherry and Black
Prince tomato seeds so I started a dozen pellets of each in the Jiffy. I
had already started these varieties a week ago with my wet plate method
and they've all been moved to peat pots with potting soil several days
ago. I'll report the progress of both in another week.
