Nagel if you are gonna use the 72 count cell trays, I could send you a copy of my map sheet.Uts self explanatory. It has 1 corner marked so you label a corner on the tray do that you always have your position right. Other than that its self explanatory and you can use it as a model if you want to use a smaller tray. Maybe J could scan it and email it to you. If you are interested PM me.

How do you keep it all organized?

Maps are great unless you have help putting them in pots...
I think I mentioned this in my glog, but my helper neglected to write names on her cups, and neglected to keep them together the way I was organizing them...
The net result is ~40 plants of 4 varieties, and only God knows which is which at this point... Except the two that are already growing Cayenne Pepper pods

As my handwriting sucks! (computer geek for a living) I geek it up a little and use VISIO lol. Just helps me monitor it all and keep track of what I have growing. I lable the Jiffy Greenhouse so I know which side is which and then used this ... blank at the time. I print it out, write on it and every couple days update the soft copy and print a new one.
This a couple days old - I will be posting the updated one tonight.

I assign each variety with a number as it is easier to keep up with and label with a number, and if I had a variety from different venders I tag an a to the number for the first one and b for the next and so on. I then map it all out on a diagram. Here's a pic from my current grow where I have 288 seeds germinating.
thats similar to how I do my seedlings, use numbering so that you can reuse the pot with whatever variety you want next time.
When I go to plant in the ground then i simply separate each variety out...not hard to do when you have 5 acres to play with lol.
