yea i had to learn the had way, i put te seeds ontop of a heater that was a constant 90 F and it cooked my seeds..I shoulda just left it ontop of my TV,..remember ...WARM not hot..feel the back of a laptop after using it for a while..ontop of your cable box, sattelite box or surround sound amplifier are idea places to store seeds for germination bcuz they give off a decent amount of heat..Ive also heard of ontop of a fridge or ontop of a water heater...
