Box temp

Couldn't find an answer in the other threads, but I just started some seeds in plugs in a little hydro system inside a grow box. With the six lights running temp is between 88 and 92 with fans going.

What I would like to know is if that temperature range is okay for the seeds or if to help them pop I should drive it up a little bit?

You don't really want it that hot if you don't have a water chiller, that'd get your water hot for no reason. I've never worried about temperature when germing my seeds, I've had 100% success too. I'm germing at 70 degrees right now. Just looked online a bit and I'm seeing everything say 70-90F with 78F being a sweet spot(but generally doesn't really matter that much), so don't go over 90F.

Warmer water better for sprouting. I mean they make rootzone heaters for a reason. Creates a steamier environment which they love at that stage.

80F I get roots off clones as little as 4 days. 65F and its a min week.

As the roots age though they turn tan,and,brownish with 80F water. Whitest roots I get are in the winter when my water is 62-66F
